Yep, De Marco is a former QPR director and legal advisor as well as being part of the legal team for the Faurlin case.

The guy looks the bees knees. You don't get that many jobs for being mediocre.

We haven't heard of Nico for a long time!

I wonder how he is these days?

Was a good mate of Paladini.

Do the club see Joey as a part of the future or not? Thatīs what matter for me at the moment.

Any opinions?

Judging by Sparky's latest comments he hasn't exactly come out and backed him, if you read between the lines:

"We are waiting to hear on Joey Barton's punishment. He is facing a long ban and we have to take stock of the situation. We are awaiting the verdict of the FA and the disciplinary process will take its course. As a manager there are 10 other players you have to think about - the 10 who played on against Manchester City. We stayed up. It's a relief. And now we start again. This is not all about Joey Barton."

Thanks Stanley 76. "This is not all about Joey Barton" Thatīs a fair assessment of the situation, I think.

Poor Joey, but thatīs life.
