In fairness he lso said "players specified by the manager " Had another listen - "Looking at opposition and making recommendations on which players should be brought in, and the strengths and weaknesses of the teams that we're going to play". Sounds to me like he will still be muddying the waters with regards to team selection. Maybe I've misinterpreted it? I think there is an awful lot of ambiguity in his interview as if hes covering both bases, I think time will tell on how long TW remains

CEO is in charge and is also directly responsible to the board. No hiding in that role. Otherwise it would just be directors Do you have any recommendations for who wael should employ as ceo ? Someone like Alex Tunbridge...great pedigree, worked his way up through low league clubs, young and ambitious.

So someone tells Wael that Barton is interested and then a week a few days negotiating how many of his entourage can come as well. Sounds pretty plausible to me. So yet again the club jump in two footed and appoint the first person who shows an interest in Rovers ! Barton was bound to show interest when no one in football would touch him with a court case looming let alone his past violent history ! It amazes me that they never even mentioned interviewing someone else and as for the negotiations it seems Barton got exactly what he wanted ? Interviewed over Zoom for obvious reasons but then allowed to mix with the players without 2 weeks self isolation !! Wael needs to surround his self with people who aren’t taking him for a ride

How about seeing what interest you get first and weigh up your options

Might be ok ,bit of a gamble . Stevenage obviously like him to bring him back after him going to Newport. Would be a big step up for him.

If it turns out the next manager's first words to Starnes aren't "Bristol Who-vers"? I'm done.

How about seeing what interest you get first and weigh up your options I didn't hear him say they didn't consider other options? Besides, if one candidate leaps out above others, for their recent footballing achievements, and conversations over interview, what's wrong with that? By the way, if they didn't actually interview anyone else, then I agree with your sentiment, I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Since he came in July 2018 we are on our 5th manager, in a worse league position, no trophies and a disgruntled fan base.

Didn’t hear him say that they had any other candidates to consider either ! They did approach Stendel but got knocked back that was after Barton started to lose interest because he couldn’t have his own staff ! I guess what I am trying to say is i hope they didn’t rush in yet again without taking their time and considering the avenues available

I got the impression from one of his interviews last Monday that he’d been watching our games for a while. Not knocking the club at all if they were in touch before firing Tisdale. It might just be that they saw that he had become available and were proactive.

If you look at the bookshelf behind Starnes, you can see a pile of papers, which must be the stadium plans.

It worries me that someone who has only presided over one (dire defeat) match should be getting such adulation at the expense of people who have already worked for years for the club. Istm people are getting carried away by Barton's success. Hint: he hasn't had any yet. Also, the idea that we should keep him even if we go down, which I've read a lot over the past week, seems a bit presumptive. Surely we should wait to see the manner of our relegation before advocating the mastermind of our failure be kept in charge. It's just classic for this forum and, to an extent Rovers fans in general, everything Rovers is sh1t and everything different is incredible and what we should be doing. Until we start doing it then it's sh1t. To be fair it's the same half a dozen or so posters, it makes you wonder if they are paid by the anti Wael lobby to post negative posts as most of them are newcomers. I could name the posters who won't be post on the match, or match highlight, threads this weekend but will be back posting on match threads as soon as we lose again. Back to the interview the only thing which I found annoying is that no questions were asked about JB's bad boy image, and what safe guards had been put down to try and ensure there's no repeats whilst he's at Rovers. One day Wael or Starnes are going to have to face at interviewer asking that type of question.

Probably Tisdale was the only manager who hadn't watched any L1 games this season! Pirate probably knows far more about lower league players than that waste of space.

I know someone within the club. Bartons interview was 100%. He knew all our players, had watched most of our games and came with a plan. Makes you wonder how Tisdale got the job. As for Wigan, I dont think anyone can blame Barton for that, he met the playersthe day before.

Tisdale looks a lazy appointment, although I doubt anyone would thought he'd turn out as bad as he did, what's odd is the two players he brought in, Day and Williams, are now looking two good signings as would like t seems have been Stockley, although Charlton's play off push seems to have come off the rails since he joined them.
JB must seem like a breath of fresh air after the last two managers, but no doubt the BG fan club won't see it that way.
