Barton has made a series of misogynist posts on social media over the last month, after claiming "women shouldn't be talking with any kind of authority" in the men's game.

Ex-Man City star accuses female staff of 'sending naked photos, having full blown affairs’ with players at his previous clubs
Joey Barton has claimed that women should 'not have any authority' in the men’s game, adding that female staff 'sent naked photos and had full blown affairs’ with his teammates.
Barton described Aluko and fellow broadcaster Lucy Ward as "the Fred and Rose West of football commentary” on his X page.
"How is she even talking about Men’s football," posted the former QPR and Burnley midfielder.
"She can’t even kick a ball properly. Your coverage of the game EFC last night, took it to a new low. Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, the Fred and Rose West of football commentary."
Cleary unable to let any female pundits without offering his opinion, Barton had already responded to another clip posted of Aluko broadcasting, writing: "Don't get me started on her."
Fred and wife Rose West committed at least 12 murders over the course of 20 years at their home in Gloucester.
Barton's outburst is just the latest in a long line after taking a baffling aim at the growing influence of women in football - specifically pundits and commentators.

FOOTBALL Sadio Mane believes 2023 AFCON will be ‘the toughest’ of them all
The former Liverpool man inspired the side to their first ever AFCON trophy in 2021.
Barton was sacked as manager of Bristol Rovers earlier this season with the team 16th in League One.
Since then the midfielder - whose England career consists of a 12 minute appearance during a dismal friendly loss against Spain - has criticised the likes of Alex Scott and Bianca Westwood in social media tirades throughout the last month.
Aluko won 102 caps for the Lionesses, scoring 33 international goals during a glittering career that also saw her play for Birmingham, Chelsea and Juventus at club level.
She retired from playing in 2020, but has provided analysis in a punditry capacity on both men's and women's football for nearly a decade.
