Some lawyer, with no real knowledge about the facts of the case, gives his opinion that depending what is in Barton's contract, QPR might be able to sack him -- and that is the basis of an article?? Must have been a very slow news day!! [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

I've always quite liked him for some reason and i'm not that bothered about things like this red card stuff (if we'd been relegated i'd be bothered though). But if we could actually sack him, and he'd be free of our club without costing us money, i'd say do it asap. Needless hassle. An individual probably should be sacked for assaulting multiple people at their workplace. It's not on the pitch i object to him as much, it's his big mouth. | ![](/images/avatars/6086.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think 260million saw the facts of the case live on TV. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

What's to investigate? The contract, the legal precedents, the financial consequences of the various possible outcomes, whether Joey's assertion that a team-mate encouraged him is true, if false (or true for that matter) whether that in itself is an aggravating factor bringing the club into disrepute. TF, AB, MH and Philip Beard strike me as the types that might go for dismissal in the long term interests of the club. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Hardly going to improve the brand image back in 'our Tone's homeland. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Whether one of his team mates suggested he attack another player is entirely irrelevant and will not come into it. The bad conduct was his, and his alone. | ![](/images/avatars/1359.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
