Some of you may have already seen this on Twitter, or it may have already been posted on here and if so I'm sorry. But this is the reason here why I'm willing to give Joey a chance.He has personality, passion, ambition and is a football and Non PC bollox talking man unlike Garner.The guy is the man taking us down but he is not the cause. I'm will to give him the chance to overlook a complete rebuilt based on my gut feeling and his record at Fleetwood. There is something very DC about him and I think next season he will become a huge hit with our fans once crowds are back.UTG I think he could go down as a gas Legend one day if things go right. JB has done nothing yet apart from take us into League 2. I admire your blind faith but I am not sure that your gut feeling is a good guide to the future! 'Something very DC about him'? I disagree. When DC took us into the National League it clearly hurt him and he put all his effort into rectifying that. He embraced Bristol Rovers and for 3 seasons, until he ran out of steam, he did pretty well. I don't see JB hurting - he has seemingly grudgingly accepted a small part of the blame for relegation but I don't see or hear any emotion that suggests he is really upset about it. Have you noticed that in his interviews JB refers to Bristol Rovers as 'you' and not 'we'? Its like he's on a short term consultants mission. I look forward to the day when he refers to Bristol Rovers as 'we' - then he will be beginning to be more like DC - but he has a very long way to go. That said - I want him to succeed - I do NOT want him to find an excuse to leave. He has overseen the worst performances of the season (quite an achievement!!) and he now has the responsibility to put things right. Let's see how good a manager he really is - and if he shows he is really invested in BRFC then he will have my full support. Not sure that’s entirely correct; he’s spoken about “this club” an awful lot and when speaking directly to fans (in pressers & face-to-face) he’s said stuff like “I’ll get you into the Championship”, which I think is his way of including the fans specifically. Pretty sure he’s used “we” a fair bit when talking about the club & team. |

And god said to Moses, come forth, but he came fifth. Nothing like irrational blind faith is there. Isn't this "but Moses came fifth and won a toaster?" Teapot |

Believe or not the first time ever I have added to, not altered another posters post. As regards something better to do, you seem to be very active on here anytime, day or night. I could not care a toss about what you intend to do today, so I don't want you to worry about what I am doing. Now, now ladies let's play nice with each other. Its ok GGMI. Best ignored |

Positive people who want to see the upside, here’s a quick lesson in football forums:
Many things go into making a club successful and it’s not entirely the manager. A lot of random chance is involved, players attitudes and you and others have nothing more to go on than press conferences and of course, on the pitch evidence.
Most managers are not successful. Success is defined by promotion and we only get one of those every ten years at best.
Therefore, even if a manager is moderately good, it’s still unlikely it will be deemed as a success.
Thus, in the game of “I told you so” I suggest an insurance policy. Be against every appointment and if we succeed, you have an easy “well, happy to be proved wrong” and nobody will care as we will all be carried away. Note DC, a few of us (me included) believed but most didn’t, and they slither away for a bit then re write history as “I had a few doubts” kind of thing.
If we fail, you get the insurance pay out of “I told you so, if only everyone had listened to me” etc
Never back a manager or at least be non committal. Play the long game and you can either get success or look good in failure.
You’re welcome

A Radio Bristol caller referred to both Bristol Clubs as a Joke and I agree. Pearson could do little with the Sh-t with the injuries and a Dysfunctional Squad and had it not been for them having enough points in the bag from earlier in the season it was likely that they would have been relegated even with the millions of £'s that have been spent on them. Barton must have seen within the first few games that he could do little with what was before him and accepted our fate. I do not agree with his public slating of our Players but I do not believe he could have prevented the inevitable as with the injuries/poor quality along with the deplorable running out of steam so evident in most games our course was set by Garner, Widderington and Tisdale. Professional Football in Bristol is a disgrace and money, it seems, means little if the organisation is lacking.

😂 Because its a stupid question. I am not in a position to know every available person who might apply or be interested in the job. I am in a position to comment on Barton's record with us, as its open to all of us. Its been useless. What we could do, if you like, is list the attributes we would seek in a manager? I will start, you can add or delete at your leisure. So, 1. Minimum of 5 years managing a professional football club at EFL standard. 2. A quantifiable knowledge of players at League 1/2. 3. A proven ability to coach and manage professional players to achieve optimum performance. 4. A strong record of developing young players below the first team. 5. Strong man management skills and an identifiable empathy for the various issues facing young men as they strive for a successful career in the professional game. 6. To be articulate and be capable of being the public face of the club both to those with a vested interest in the club and, as importantly, the media both locally and nationally. 7. To have a strong personal ethic and act in a way that does not bring the club into disrepute. There you are, 7 as a starter, add yours, then tell us how many of those criteria Barton meets. Go on Coughlin didn't meet all of those and yet he took us to 4th |

Doing a case study on Lincoln's rise from the National League to L1 promotion contenders would be an interesting excercise, they even managed to lose the Cowley's but still continued their rise up the leagues, whereas we lost GC and did the reverse! |
