Barton's farewell QPR messages? /merged/

Joey message to Qpr fans

To the QPR fans, for some reason the managers dislikes me. From before Man City.

Not gonna cry about it. Maybe it's just time to move on. I enjoyed parts of last season and believe I am more than capable of playing this year. But the manager doesn't. Such is life. I have no problem with this as its my fault I am banned for 12(10 now) games.

When a person a decision he has to stand by that. I respect Hughes for this. I don't agree but accept his decision. I am not the type of player to sit on the sidelines and take the cash. It's not me. I could do that for the next 3 years but it's not me. I want to play football.

Hopefully, the QPR fans will accept that. I offered to resign from the club/contract when I got my ban. @tonyfernandes @Amit_Bhatia99 will testify that I am telling the truth. I accepted my punishment from the FA and the club for my behaviour against Man City like a man.

I could of appealed as is my right. I choose not to out of respect. But when I returned to the club. I am forced to train away from the 1st team. I am stripped of the captaincy. Then, made to train at 3pm Then, I am hawked around on loan.

Then, I have my shirt number taken without any notice. Then, I read I wouldn't of been signed had the current regime been in place.

I accepted all this. I never once spoke out of turn or angrily towards anybody. I am a man. I can only take so much. I want to leave. I hope to move on with my career, with my life. If that is in France, so be it. I don't want to be disrespectful to QPR but enough is enough.

Good night people. I've said enough for today. I'll get in trouble. No doubt. But this is how it is. This is life!

Good man JB pity we can't get rid of some of these so-called fans of ours that easily.He offered to re-sign then? yet the owners said no.I think he has been treated appallingly by the management and no need for it.
Best of luck Joey if you read this, thanks for your time here, and I hope you can get a clean slate in France

[Gtleighsr3]

joey dont help himself but he is hounded by his rep.He does get treated diff as well.Perhaps a move abroad where he not so well known may helphim and his temper.being a dad now will also calm him down. But if he does go on a perm id want decent cash not a steal to ship him out because the gaffa dont like him.

He should have gone in peace.....disappointing but not surprising message from Joey.

With you Dave.

Personally a little bit disappointed he is off however with 2 to 3 years left on his contract could he return if no one else wants him or do we just keep loaning him out. Similar situation to Adebayor at City who was not wanted but who they struggled to offload

[QprSinceBirth]

I don't have a problem with any of his tweets accept this!!!!!
@Joey7Barton: @StephaneMbia J'espère que vous restez frère. Vous êtes un grand joueur. J'aimerais jouer avec vous

Translated to.
Joey7Barton @: @ StephaneMbia I hope you stay brother. You are a great player. I want to play with you

[pauldrayton]

I don't understand why they didn't accept his resignation if he was never in Hughes' plans?? Or do they want a fee for him?

Good player but who knows what went on behind the scenes. I don't think he's been treated well which I don't like - they could have at least been open and honest with him and kept the communication going. Sounds like he's just been left in the dark.

However if Hughes doesn't want him then we have to trust the manager for now and let him go.

Best of luck Joey - I thought he was one of our best players last season.

at least the fella has some minerals!!!!
