I am pretty certain this is not a popular view but I would have tried to find the money to offer Joey Barton a deal he'd sign to stay.
As an older head, a leader and accomplished player.
For me, him coming back into the team in our promotion year was what got us over the line. Countless games when we were below par he dragged us through to get something - thinking Reading and Bolton away in particular.
And then this season where he has often been our best player on the park.
I rate him and I think he'd have been a good linch-pin for a new look younger side. |  |

Right to get rid.
The bad eggs outburst just before the critical game at Man City was the final straw for me |  | | |

If Les et al are serious about rebuilding our ailing club then players like Barton had to go. Too old, too expensive, too mouthy and a short temper. |  | | |

Sorry Westbourne but there is nothing in that OP that i can agree with.
The day could not come soon enough when we got this p***k out of our club.
Just my opinion mate, nothing personal. |  | | |

I would have offered him a deal. But on vastly reduced terms. I wonder if the club did the same and the 2 parties were so far apart it was never a goer. |  |

If he can't find a club then wouldn't surprise me if he ended up coming back on a reduced wage next season but hopefully he finds somewhere else to play his football |  | | |

dancing a jig of jigs and sacrificing my next door neighbours cat in a wicker man to thank the pagan gods we've lanced this boil on the Ample arse of QPR. |
Disco I'm with you on this and I like your turn of phrase. |  |

I think we've seen the good the bad and the ugly side of Barton over the last 4 years and now is probably the right time to part ways. If the club want to show people they have turned a corner and are going in a new direction then he has to go. |  |
