Plus he was treated really poorly by the BBC towards the end of his run as well, which didn't help matters.
Fact is, he has every right to feel as he did, given some of the genuinely shoddy treatment he and others around him went through during the first series.
However, at the same time it is worth noting three things. One, most (all?) of those that he had his main issues with no longer have anything to do with the show. Two, Moffat wrote Eccleston's favourite episodes from his run (the Empty Child/Doctor Dances). Three, he has often stated how much he loved the role itself and playing the character, he just didn't like the atmosphere of the production and some of the people involved. As such, I wouldn't rule out some involvement in the 50th.
Then again, Eccleston being Eccleston, I wouldn't believe it until it's known to be filmed either...
