FA brings violent conduct charge against BartonThe Football Association has charged Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton with violent conduct for his assault on former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo.

Barton was released from prison on Monday after serving 74 days of a six-month sentence after he was convicted of assault and affray in relation to an incident involving a teenager outside a Liverpool city centre fast food restaurant.

While incarcerated, the 25-year-old was also found guilty of attacking Dabo in a training ground incident last year, which left the Frenchman suffering from substantial facial wounds and needing stitches.

Barton escaped a further custodial sentence but was ordered to carry out 200 hours community service and pay Dabo Â£3,000 compensation and court costs of Â£3,430.

However, he now finds himself facing a further charge brought against him by the footballing authorities for the attack on his former team-mate â€“ described by the courtroom judge as "ferocious".

"Newcastle United midfielder Joey Barton has been charged with violent conduct," an FA statement reads.

"The charge relates to an alleged assault on Barton's then Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo at City's Carrington training ground on May 1st 2007.

"The incident has been the result of legal proceedings which concluded at Manchester crown court on July 1st 2008.

"The FA has subsequently received all relevant documentation following the conclusion of this case and the charge is based on the certificate of conviction."

Barton has until August 13th to respond to the charge, the FA added.

The news follows developments earlier this week, when it was announced by the one-cap England international that his current club Newcastle United do not intend to terminate his contract.

However, his boot sponsors Nike have terminated his deal, which was worth a reported Â£40,000 a year, because he has "brought the brand into disrepute".
