That would be the financial geniuses that bought this cunt would it?
Queens Park Rangers fear it could cost them up to £11million to sack Joey Barton because the midfielder has not breached his contract despite receiving a 12-match ban.
The club’s legal team are exploring whether they can terminate Barton’s current agreement after the Football Association hit him with a lengthy suspension having found him guilty of two counts of violent conduct.
Barton elbowed Carlos Tevez on the final day of the season at Manchester City, for which he was hit with a four-game ban. He then kicked Sergio Aguero before attempting to headbutt Vincent Kompany and the manner of his dismissal led to him being hit with a further eight-match suspension.
But Standard Sport understands it appears at this stage that there are insufficient legal grounds to sack Barton for breach of contract or gross misconduct.
That would leave Rangers having to pay Barton’s £70,000-a-week contract in full. With three years left on his deal, the total figure would be just under £11m. It is thought the amount could be lowered once bonuses and other add-ons are removed.

I find it hard to believe in this day and age that when the contracts are put on the table there is nothing about gross misconduct etc to allow the clubs to terminate it.
What is even more worrying is that nothing as simple was written into Bartons especially as he has a proven track record.
I know that if I try to access my online subscription of 'Jugs of Joy' from my work pc then I would probably get the sack.
