Former QPR boss Harry Redknapp has stated his belief that midfielder Joey Barton can become a top manager.
Barton has earned a reputation as bit of a hot head due to the numerous disciplinary problems he has been involved in throughout his career but also has a very tactical brain according to some.
?Despite such a reputation though, former manager Redknapp has stated that Barton has another side to him as well and backed him to become a manager in the future due to his knowledge of the game.
?Redknapp told talkSPORT: "I got a text from Joey yesterday. When you sit down and talk to him, he is knowledgeable about the game. I can't wait for him to get the opportunity to manage.
?"It could go one way or the other, he has got very good ideas, he is enthusiastic, he knows the game. There is another side to him as well. But hopefully when he gets the opportunity, he will do a good job for somebody."?
