This feels like a monumental period in our history. If Joey does get cleared of the charges then we have real momentum to move forward. Let’s not kid ourselves. We’re in a water poor league, and ability wise the top 7 should be more than achievable. I was 100% pro Joey and the appointment; yet I’ll be man enough to say that after Newport I wanted him gone. I was wrong. Wael kept faith and most importantly the changing room kept faith.
Huge kudos to wael, let’s just pray the decision goes in JB’s favour and we can move this club forward. UTG

Barton's domestic abuse case is going ahead on 16th Dec. Hopefully he will be gone after that and maybe have someone already at the club to take over. The players are/should be good enough...just need to get rid of this manager!

Only person I can see is Flynn awaiting in the wings.

The players are/should be good enough...just need to get rid of this manager! I'm certainly no fan of his and if guilty, he should go. If not guilty (possibly 'unproven' as it could be in Scottish law iirc) he stays. Either way, I hope that we see a verdict rather than this dragging on.

I'm surprised he hasn't been put on gardening leave whilst these court cases are pending. How can he concentrate on football with that hanging over his head.....unless of course he is so used to it that it is like second nature to him!!

Some people will never get it. It's not his (in)ability as a manager but his mental condition, you know, the bit where he flares up and lashes out like a Duracell bunny in boxing gloves. It almost happened again recently and will happen again soon. Mark my words.

Odds on Stendel being our next manager?

It doesn't matter if Barton is here or not, same group of players, not a bad period with form etc for a new gaffer to take over and plenty out of work who could get the same minimum and hopefully better out of this squad.
Really don't think Barton matters, it's not him crossing the white line

Really don't think Barton matters, it's not him crossing the white line You sure about that? If so, how do you explain how Ben Garner took the same players from 4th place to nearly being relegated before Covid saved the day? Provided JB gets not guilty verdicts in both cases, it's time to stop al this sniping at him - he hasn't put a foot wrong with Rovers yet.

I think Barton does matter. Most of these players were signed by him and I can see a shed load of watered off footballers if he is shown the door. There appears to be a lot of camaraderie between this group of players AND the manager. We all witnessed what happened when Tisdale came in post Garner.
IMO I don't see JB going anywhere irrespective of what happens in either court, I feel that the Stendel court case outcome is not even in the equation as to whether he keeps his job or not. The only two people who witnessed the alleged assault on his wife are refusing to testify and his wife is also refusing to testify in court against him. This is being heard in a magistrates court (no jury) - I can only see it being thrown out through a lack of solid evidence.

Since Newport we have played 2 League games and whilst we have won both it is a very small sample start saying all this IMO. Actually funny

UTG Not wishing to rain on your parade but a couple of decent results and a first round cup win is hardly a new beginning at best its a blip at the moment. Apart from that nothing has changed so the thread title is totally misleading.
