Barton on Talksport

[MattyRangers]

Anybody else listening?

[bakes8]

Giving us a slagging off?

[West Acton]

I'm listening hardly touched upon us and when they have not said anything we don't already know

[Ginger Ninja]

Giving us a slagging off?

I doubt it to be honest. When he left he was quite complimentary about us as a club and fans on Twitter. I don't think there are any hard feelings. He'll certainly get a good reception from me when he plays against us.

[MattyRangers]

A Rangers fan rang up and asked if he had considered re-signing for us and basically said no, he was a "close ally" of Phil Beard and he got moved on and so he saw the club going somewhere differently to how he imagined / would have liked. Said he left on very good terms but just agreed to move on to something new after shaking hands with Les and Chris.

Then was asked by Adrian Durham if we are as much a shambles as we seem from outside and Joey gave a bit of a round the houses answer but pretty much said, yes, we are. Said we've wasted so much momentum and money in recent years, that the training ground and stadium don't seem to be moving on. Ended it by saying that if he knew what he does now about the club then he wouldn't have signed for us in the first place.

Did say we have a great set of fans though and that Wembley will stay with him for a long time.

If I had my way, knowing what I know now we wouldn't of signed him either. Waste of time and money.

[West Acton]

Also said he don't think Austin will leave

[cross it Dave]

Also said he don't think Austin will leave

Never liked Barton, but I hope he's right with regards to Charlie boy.

[californiahoop]

Never liked Barton, but I hope he's right with regards to Charlie boy.

Agree.

[maidstone_hoop]

Fingers crossed he's right about Charlie. They were pretty close.

[Bigears]

And that is why i am so glad he has left, his off fielld media work, twitter and web site takes away the focus from his football and the any club he is at.

TBF IMO would be the best MF at the club if he had stayed, but with so many distractions IMO he is just not worth it, it just stops the football club focusing and moving on.

Always gave his best, wish him well but not against us onwards and upwards - the bloke is just a distraction.

[Stanley]

Love him or loathe him it's a very honest interview. He clearly still has a lot of affection (and good words) for the club and fans, and we're one of the first results he looks out for. He put that tw@t Durham in place too.

[WeAreQPR12]

A very good interview and he couldn't be more fair and honest with his assessment of the club

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Can't be bothered listening but wasn't as good as he thought he was but always felt he done ok for us. First season in the PL he was dire but good in the champ.

Worth a listen IMO Jimmy, even just to the 4 minute version posted above.
