I’ve been Barton out for a while now but that Performance and interview yesterday was the final nail in the coffin he’s gotta go.

I'm at the stage where I think the only way to affect any change is to stay away and boycott the freak show. Sad times.

I just hate what we’ve become as a fan base. I don’t want to be at war with Kruger, RememberHalifax, Rich and others every weekend because we vehemently disagree on Barton. They’re decent blokes who are right on many things Rovers related. I don’t like chopping and changing managers, I’m fully with them on that, but I’ve never thought with greater conviction in my life that getting rid of the current manager will provoke a net positive difference for the club and it’s supporters. Literally anyone could do the job Barton’s doing, and as long as they didn’t bring the narcissism and controversy Barton does, they would already be doing a better job and the club would be a lot easier to support again. I wouldn’t be in the Barton out camp if it wasn’t for a very good reason. Post of the weekend for me.

Never have I advocated to boycott games I have always wanted to show support to the team as I believe in us as a 12th man. On our day, we can be a massive help to the team down in the lower leagues. Sadly though, and I can't believe I am saying this, on this occasion, boycotting could be what makes the difference as Wael doesn't look like he will be relieving JB of his duties anytime soon.

Barton isn't BRFC, just an employee like any other, he doesn't even make all of the decisions.
Boycotting the club just because you don't like the manager makes no sense at all, you're just harming the club by denying them the income.
If/when he does go (as all managers eventually do) we should trust the guy ploughing millions into the club to keep it afloat to make the call, not try to force his hand.

Barton - "It's a fragile group that's lacking confidence from what's gone before" Unbelievable...It's basically a new squad! BARTON OUT So the new 11 players he signed this summer are fragile and lacking confidence because he got the last 11 players relegated? Think he is referring to the poor results earlier this season . Confidence would be fragile with the results and pressure from the fans . Cant see how it could be read any other way (?)

Barton’s first court date is November 26th. Five weeks on Friday, I am counting the days til then. A dreadful thing to post but I hope he’s found guilty and we finally get rid of him!! Looking at the available evidence sorry to disappoint you there is a good chance he will get off both cases. Unless you're part of one of the criminal teams how you've managed to see the evidence, when it's not in the public domain?

It's hardly like we started off the season with a long run of defeats plus the fans were mostly supportive yesterday, particularly after Pitman brought us back into the game, the killer third goal was just down to poor play.

The poll indicates twice as many want him gone compared to those who don't with a handful on the fence so I think it's fair to assume that, based on the data we have, you are correct. Interesting that a quick look on the FB sites shows that he still seems to have a fair amount of backing from that demographic. I guess that the best way to gauge feelings is from the reaction at matches, it's not as though thousands are staying away, so it should be a reasonably accurate reflection of our active support.

Plenty in the public domain on both cases to make an assessment There's very little for the second case, we've no idea what his wife said in her phone call to the emergency services, or if she said anything subsequently. Plus we've no idea what the friends said, if they've said anything at all.

I would be interested, I know it's almost impossible to do, but if the fans who attend every match were the only voters, and how they feel?
They follow us everywhere, I did before I became Dads taxi.

I would be interested to understand, of those who voted in, what they think they would lose if he got the heave ho

That's a tricky one. For example, I haven't stayed away as I support the players despite who the manager is. I am sure the are many others like me. I don't want my support for the team in person to be confused with support for JB because I don't.

If we had gone in 2 down at half time yesterday it would have been a very toxic mem. As it stands I think Pitman may have saved him

Sorry, I didn't mean that a judgement could be made by the number of people attending, as I'm sure there are plenty of people there who don't approve of him. I was thinking more of the crowd's vocal reaction - there has been some very loud booing in the past, although not so much yesterday. Although, that's questionable too, as there have been plenty of things I've been unhappy about, but I've never booed the team.
