Hughes will have final say on Barton fate

[maddix]

why hold any internal investigation/ enquiry (something the club has NEVER donr before) ....If you don't intend to sack him ????

Gut instict tells me Hughes will keep him.

Not sure why and may be wrong but can't see him being sacked if its Hughes making the decision. Its not like its his money that's being used on Barton's wages.

Funny but my reading is exact opposite. All the leaks coming out of Loftus Rd suggest Hughes is v unhappy with him. If we can sack him without compo it seems pretty certain. It may not be Hughes's money but there will be a budget and you can do quite a lot with £70,000 a week (eg pay a Defoe or a De Jong).

They do intend to sack him but i think they are waiting for him to make it easier for them as it states on the offy..

"The Club expects the investigation to last at least two weeks.

During this period, no one from the Club or Joey Barton himself will make any further comment"

I bet their hoping he wont be able to keep it shut for that long
