QPR players return to training on Monday will get a new hard-hitting code of conduct in their lockers.

Final ‘I’s are being dotted, and ’T’s crossed on a charter that will cover everything from lateness to training and what they tap out on Twitter.

Hoops have vowed to stamp out the kind of behaviour that has besmirched their image at regular intervals over the last three years.

Now the club aim to ensure every player within the squad is subject to the new guidelines and abides by them.

'Bad egg'? Mauro Zarate

Among the guilty in the recent past, loanee Eduardo Vargas refused to play against Crystal Palace on March 14.

Loan flop, Mauro Zarate was sent back to West Ham after storming out in protest at failing to make the match-day squad against Liverpool.

On Twitter, midfielder Karl Henry and defender Rio Ferdinand were involved in a high-profile confrontation over politics of all things, with pundit Stan Collymore.

And QPR legend Rodney Marsh and former captain Joey Barton were likewise involved in a 140 character spat.

Matt Phillips was none too popular with fans for posting a photograph alongside his £100,000 Porsche three days before Rs were relegated from the Premier League with a limp 6-0 defeat at Manchester City.

Director of football Les Ferdinand is no fan of Twitter, and he and owner Tony Fernandes agreed to disagree over use of the social media outlet. The chairman is something of a devotee.

It appears Ferdinand has won the battle and forged the new discipline code expected to be ready by the end of next week.
