Joey Barton will not face a fine or a ban by comparing Bristol Rovers' poor display against Newport County on Saturday to the Holocaust, according to reports.
Barton's Rovers lost 3-1 over the weekend to make it three matches without a victory, with the former Newcastle and Manchester City midfielder missing defenders Cian Harries and Trevor Clarke for the match due to red cards the week before.
The manager has refused to apologise for his comments, despite sparking outrage from the National Holocaust Centre and Museum and the Jewish Labour Movement for his choice of words.
