Joey Barton's job as manager of this football club (or any other for that matter) is pretty much two-fold: 1) Pick up points 2) Act professionally and represent the club in the best possible light Contrary to popular belief it seems, there is nothing in the job spec to "say it as it is". Now, so far, he has failed spectacularly in both areas of his remit. Frankly, I'm amazed more (in fact the majority for that matter) aren't as utterly terrified as I am but the future with this man in charge. It may work out, don't get me wrong. But I'm astounded there are so many so confident it will work out successfully. Replace Barton with any other bog standard L1/L2 manager and I have no doubt the reaction would be completely different. He's getting an easy ride so far. Bang on - people are falling over themselves purely because it's Joey Barton. Anyone else and he'd have been lynched by now.

This is just the start of making the national press, in three weeks time when the trial begins Rovers media coverage will be world wide. Especially as the crown prosecution open the batting, Barton not helping himself is he pre trial, still a ranting hot head.

Total bollocks of an article. First they say Rovers have been forced by Tisdales lawyers to take the article down and then at the end of it publish the contents of the offending article. You could not make it up, An absolute joke and then Tisdale says he has nothing against JB, it's the club's fault for publishing it. The man's an arrogant tosser, he should shut his mouth, sit back and enjoy his undeserved payoff from our club, not try to take more by persuing legal action against BRFC as is implied. "The man's an arrogant tosser, he should shut his mouth"
Really? As opposed to JB's behaviour and comments since he's been in the job? Quite incredible the support JB is getting over these comments. A real head scratcher. Every day that goes by, the appointment feels more and more crazy. Tisdale went to his mate at the Mail a few weeks ago and threatened legal action and an article was published. He has now contacted him again with a follow up story. I would ask why was it necessary to inform one and all that the Club had taken down the story. Obviously loves being in the Daily Mail! JB did not publish the story, it was taken from an interview in front of camera and then published by the local rag.

Talks with legal, ongoing Would not be surprised to see some sort of out of court settlement but still will hit Wael's pocket with London legal advise costing £400 plus an hour. By taking it down suggests the club knows it's on a sticky wicket but doubt Tis would want to go to court, unless he finds a no win/no fee solicitors, as libel cases can cost hundred's of thousands. Let's hope taking it down heals Tis's hurt pride.

Because he has a lot of Twitter followers I suspect and is a 'big name' (albeit for all the wrong reasons)

Accusing your peers of "professional negligence" is always going to be challenged. The ineptitude of the BRFC executive in not putting this down and managing their employee is exposed once again. What a shambles of a club

Embarrassing that the club have had to do that, and I'm not in the slightest bit surprised. I have no problem with Joey thinking these things or saying them to our BoD, as he has a right to an opinion, but it simply should not be said to the press. It is slanderous and highly unprofessional and completely unbecoming of a manager in a public facing environment. Surprised the players union rep has not got the PFA involved Why would he do that - it's nothing to do with the players, the Managers have their own Association.

Maybe be not posted on the right thread but it’s just a thought of how he was been allowed too say what he wants when he wants about who wants and the club aren’t policing it ! If anyone at their work place had been spoken about like the way Barton speaks about players and staff I am sure people wouldn’t put up with it and either gone too the union or HR dept ? The mans a bully

The mans a bully Ah, right - gotcha. Football dressing rooms can be quite a brutal environment, even in good times, so I wonder if players are more acceptable of this type of thing than people in other workplaces? I'm sure that if any players had spoken to their union rep that he would have taken it further on their behalf. My last manager told me that he thought I was on the Spectrum - great thing to say to a person with mental health issues.

Following the Gas has been pretty boring on & off the pitch for the last 3 years. At least now it’s a bit entertaining off the pitch .

I don’t agree with what JB has done calling out the previous management in the public domain as he has.
However, part of me also says that I’d rather Tisdale come out and tell he wasn’t negligent and fought back in some way. He’s coming across as a bit of a wet wipe just like he was when he was a manager here. We often looked out fought and out thought and lacked gumption.
Whatever you think, the fact we were so tamely relegated must mean that something was grossly wrong somewhere which went on under the watch of Garner and Tisdale.
It’s an absolute mess.

I'm not I'd completely agree some of the stuff he's said in public should have remained in house but he doesn't get a free pass from me just because of who he is. He gets a more lenient view because his two predecessors and the head of recruitment made such a pigs ear of things

I hope we do well but it's embarrassing having Barton as boss at the moment. Let's hope he can prove a lot of people wrong and make a success of his managerial career and grow as a man. For me, fail here or make another big mistake and its over for him.

Personally, I'd much rather Barton call out the shambles publicly, than brush it under the carpet. Anyone watching the tail end of the abortive 2019-20 season could see that something had gone badly wrong under Garner.
The abysmal record that we had last season, especially in the final quarter of games confirmed that there was a major fitness problem in addition to performance weaknesses all over the pitch.
BUT, now Barton has been so public in his criticism, the onus is on him to succeed. Wael will need to be ruthless otherwise.

Right or wrong, the club is an absolute state from top to bottom. Massive summer ahead, it could make or break if many fans will bother attending regularly after this pandemic imo.

Barton called this spot on challenges Tisdales lawyers and challenged again last week. Tisdale is right nda is with the club not Barton so Wael will have to cough up and Barton is laughing. Time to get behind him it’s his club and their dancing to his tune
