Mick McCarthy admits that Joey Barton would not have suited Wolves' wage structure.

Mick McCarthy has said that he passed on the chance to sign Joey Barton for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Barton moved from Newcastle United to Queens Park Rangers on a free transfer last month after becoming unsettled with the Magpies.

While McCarthy admires the 29-year-old, he said that the club's wage structure could not support him.

"He was offered to everyone... but I never would have [signed Barton]," he is quoted as saying.

“When we got promoted we tried to sign Premier League players and I’ve always had the support of [chairman Steve Morgan] and [chief executive Jez Moxey] but we are never going to sign players on £65,000 a week."

Wolves will host QPR for a Premier League clash on Sunday.
