Mark Hughes set to ditch QPR bad boy Barton

[stan_bowles]

No loss if Barton and SWP go.

Would rather see players willing to pull their weight come in.

[Stanley]

"Another whose ears would have been burning was Joey Barton, described by Hughes as a “fairly accomplished player” – I think that’s what they call damning with faint praise."

season

[danarnie]

Utter b.ollocks!!!!!

What a load of tosh.

[Bigdave]

Even if this is true i cant see clubs queing up to sign him and pay him the sort of dough we are. And Barton wont budge if he stands to lose money

[Shania]

nothing wrong with telling these players they aren't doing us a favour by slumming it at Loftus Rd and they have to step up their performances.

[QPR Richard]

I'd be surprised if MH tries to get rid of Joey. As was seen when he was allowed to leave Newcastle, no one but us wanted him. He's just signed a long term contract and would cost us a fortune to pay it off.

It makes sense for MH to hang onto him and turn him into a better player.

The Mirror is fast becoming THE least reliable source out there, everything they print is utter tosh.

MH has just stated that Joey will be his captain; of course he wont be getting rid of him.

Barton Going Nowhere - Phil Beard

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16565514.stm

QPR chief Phillip Beard has dismissed speculation that captain Joey Barton will be among the first players moved on by new manager Mark Hughes.

A Sunday newspaper has suggested that the 29-year-old midfielder is unlikely to figure in Hughes's long-term plans.

But Beard told BBC Sport that he was "flabbergasted" to hear the news.

Papers talking s**t no way they would never do that

Isn't Paul Smith (aka Smudge) normally reliable?

[BUSHRANGER1982]

The British tabloid press, is one of the least trustworthy in the whole of the Western World.
The press in this country bears some responsibility for the country we have now.
I take everything I read in our crap press, with a vast pinch of salt, I humbly suggest more people do likewise.
