After his outburst at the Etihad in QPR’s last game of the season, Joey Barton’s career at Loftus Road was deemed to be all but over.

"Been forced to go back training with the kids and fellow Taliban members at 2pm today...”
“Maybe this is time to dumb down and be dishonest. It seems to take you a long way in this game... "
