Barton made more inaccurate passes, 490, in the opposition half than any other top-division player last season.

Joey Barton facing ten to 15-game ban at FA hearing on Weds. Observer column on the end of the deception http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/may/19/joey-barton-qpr-violence-renaissance-man

Big time.

 

If that is indeed the sanction, then really can't see QPR letting him hang around.

 

In any case, he's certain to lose the captaincy.

They might be stuck with him, doubt many clubs would go for him when he could be out until November.

If they can't/won't sack him, QPR may as well loan Barton abroad for the first half of the season if he gets a 10 to 15 game ban. As far as I know, an English FA ban would not apply if he went to play in a foreign league. I'd imagine for example, one of the top Turkish clubs would be interested in loaning him.

Honestly Big Sam will take him, if he leaves QPR.

 

Not a hope in hell.

 

Sullivan and Gold have already said they will never buy him.

He'd still have to sit out his ban on his return though, in loaning him out you're putting off something which will eventually happen.

I'm confident he'll serve his ban if he's playing in any FIFA accredited nation.

Fair enough. I wasn't 100% sure how the ban would work if he went abroad. I thought he could be abroad for 15 games and then come back and play.

Oh aye, forgot about all that. He really has burned some bridges.

My dad interviewed him for his work today (he's making a programme on home advantage). They had a bit of chit chat before the interview and Barton was supposedly very nice and friendly. Said that he's expecting a 10-15 game ban for his shenanigans against city. He's claiming that Tevez hit him in the face and retaliated, knows it was wrong but is absolutely baffled at why the Tevez initial punch is being overlooked. He also kneed Aguero on his way off because he pushed him while it was all kicking off. He claims that he never tried to headbutt Kompany, he says Lescott was pushing his head and he was just trying to release it from his grasp, the logic he used was 'you can see that Lescott is pushing me towards Kompany because his hand follows my head all the way to Kompany's head, if he wasn't pushing my head towards Kompany's then his hand would have lost contact immediatley after i tried to pull my head away'.

 

Not very suprising or interesting i know but whatevs trevs

If he really wanted to break the mould of the typical footballer, he would not release another one of their ridiculous, "controversial" 'autobiographies', written to appeal to daytime tv watchers, bedwetters and the barely-living, but best used as doorstops and paperweights by anyone with any sense.
