Sky are close to agreeing a deal to screen a no-holds-barred documentary charting Joey Barton’s time as manager at Fleetwood Town.
Sportsmail can reveal that Sky are set to show a series of behind-the-scenes episodes on the former Manchester City and Newcastle man’s first foray into management after being wowed by an initial pilot.
Sources have disclosed that the documentary pulls no punches and gives an all-access account of the over-achieving Lancashire club’s League One season so far.
Fleetwood were in fifth place when football was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic and are set to enter the play-offs, which would potentially provide a dream ending for the series.
