Well you could say the same for even getting the assistant job in the first place - my point being you can't necessarily judge how a former player will be as a coach/manager based off external issues outside the game.
Edit - also having issues/dodginess outside the game hasn't stopped the likes of big Sam getting a premiership job has it so should we really be all that surprised!
Thought exactly the same thing when i heard the news.
Whilst i completely get that Sol Campbell is a dickhead and his self-righteousness will rule him out of a lot of jobs, i can't for the life of me work out why anyone would think Barton would be a decent managerial appointment.

I work with a Fleetwood fan. Proper fan follows them home and away. He was fuming yesterday when we found out. Everyone was taking the piss.

Joins a club, saves them from relegation... moves on to the next club in danger!!
I can see Barton either being a great success or a disaster. He can be very interesting when he talks about football, but can also be "problematic"
Barton is still serving his 13 month ban from Football

Lost at Southend today but that was a very important result for SCP.
