Well it looks like the final nail in the coffin. Joey will NEVER play for Rangers again after those tweets. Sorry I don't know how to put them up but he ain't gonna Hughes's favourite player that's for sure
Is he saying between the lines (of which there are quite a few!) that he won't hold QPR to his contract? It can be read that way but I'm sure if push comes to shove he'll make them do the ditching and he will hold out for the money!!
I read it like that mate. Also said he offered his resignation after he was banned, which asks the question, why didn't we accept ? Maybe 'cos he wanted a pay off ?
Always feared it would end in tears. Shame, as I remember the Wolves match with his 3-0 gesture. Seems that was the peak. Downhill thereafter. Good player with an odd personality.
"I am hopefully that things will be sorted out soon. Other clubs are in but I only want to play in Marseille. This is the place for me... Hopefully, QPR and Marseille can finalise the deal in the next few days. My heart is already in the Vélodrome... 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 [makes] 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!" http://twitter.com/Joey7Barton
Only read some of the tweets / statement as it seems 7 or 8 tweets combined and from my perspective you can't blame the bloke for feeling like that. Should he of done it like this ie making a statement via twitter of course not.
Does this speak of schisms at the top of the club? He mentions he offered to resign from the "club/contract" but was turned down, presumably by TF and AB as they're the ones mentioned. Yet the rest of his tweets indicate Sparky wants shot of him PDQ. Very strange and not a little worrying
He's a flawed genius, a poor wretch who is just.... [video=youtube_share;d2FT4FprxDg]http://youtu.be/d2FT4FprxDg[/video]
Au revoir Joey, merci de nous aider à nous tenir. J'ai vraiment espéré qu'il avait travaillé pour vous à QPR et que vous souhaitez devenir un Ranger légendaire. le problème, c'est que c'est que vous êtes un dingue, fils voyage en toute sécurité.
Marseille won again as well. Allez les Marseillais. Maybe I'll see you all this week? [from @awillden7] @Joey7Barton dont go for too long, need you back in our midfield sharpish! #QPR @awillden7 when u get treated the way I have been ie captaincy, shirt number, banishment from 1st team squad etc. I wouldn't of thought... I'd be rushing back. Do u? #cannotwaittomoveon I am hopefully that things will be sorted out soon. Other clubs are in but I only want to play in Marseille. This is the place for me... Hopefully, QPR and Marseille can finalise the deal in the next few days. My heart is already in the Vélodrome... @StephaneMbia J'espère que vous restez frère. Vous êtes un grand joueur. J'aimerais jouer avec vous Just watching the end of Barca game now then PSG v Bordeaux. To the QPR fans, for some reason the managers dislike 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.

warnock brought barton to qpr with a promise from joey that he had changed FAIL!!!!.sent off twice in the hoops,the first one was a con job but because of his reputation he was sent off.the second right in the middle of possibly our biggest game in years he blows a fuse and elbows tevez then kicks another city player on his way off. changed did we?? i think not.70% of the games in my opinion he didnt turn up and was supposed to be our skipper and constantly spouted crap on twitter.i say thank fook he has gone,never wanted him from the start au revior le mug.
Lets see where this leads. It needs more than loan deal to marseille to get rid of Joeys contract. Yet better still if we succeded to do so. IMO its sad if he really has played his last match for QPR now, cos seeing those first two matches...........
