Burnley will slash Joey Barton's wages to the end of his contract following his betting ban.

The Daily Mail says Barton will spend his remaining weeks at Burnley on significantly reduced wages after his 18-month ban for gambling.

Provisions were agreed when the midfielder re-signed at Turf Moor in January in the eventuality of a suspension.

Barton is thought to earn in the region of £20,000 a week but will take home a fraction of that until his contract expires at the end of the season.

The FA came down hard on Barton after he placed 1,260 bets over a 10-year period.
