Joey Barton Flatters Himself (As Usual)

QPR midfielder Joey Barton claims his move to Loftus Road was motivated by money . when the truth of the matter is . . Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley wanted him off the books.  The 30-year-old is currently on loan at Marseille after picking up alengthy ban for his misconduct in the season-ending game against Manchester City. Saying he only signed for QPR because of the money, is hardly going to impress new boss Harry Redknapp. Barton was on £60,000-per-week at Newcastle - so his plea of hardship doesn't wash with the Toon Army. Joey Barton: "When I went to QPR it was a choice dictated by money. "I didn't like what I had done, and I swore I'd never do that again. "It was the first time in my life that I had taken a decision for money. I did it because my partner was due to give birth - but I did not feel good about it." Source: Newcastle United Mad
