Can Barton be loaned abroad to keep match fit?

[HammersmithR]

Play in a foreign league.

Think his ban only counts in this country.

[Factamondo]

id have him at grays athletic!!

[QPR_NW10]

good question and one we should look into if possible. maybe the french league? don't want him at a rubbish league where he'd be too relied upon but then not too fast paced where he'd too "into it"...which is the problem!

[winalotto]

No, i dont think the club would be allowed to loan him out on his ban for violent conduct, imagine if he did go out to say Italy, and got sent off in his first game?

Yeah, but he'd then be only banned in Italy!

While serving a ban in another country, no way would you be able to get away with that..

[Spaghetti-Hoops]

What does that matter? Hes banned for 12 games in prem. If we loaned him out which we probs couldnt anyway when he comes back hes still got his 12 game premier league ban???

When your serving a ban for your professional club, that club can not do anything with you, as it would violate the ban, he can train with his club, i dont even think he can play ressie's or behind closed door friendly's.

You'd get a game at Grays old son

But when does he officially start serving the ban? And what you say implies that we cant even sell him now, is that right?

The ban will start when the season starts, not sure about pre season, i think he may be able to play pre season as his ban wont have started, yes you can transfer list a player at any moment, but selling him is something altogether different.
