The fact Wael employed him with an ongoing assault case plus his past history and then stood by him when he was charged with assaulting his wife seems to contradict that view. All those fans/posters who claimed they'd never watch Rovers whilst Barton was our manager seem to have already returned, perhaps a conviction might be a step too far but nothing would surprise me. I don't know anyone who was staying away that has returned - maybe the odd few have changed their minds but certainly not all. Just as a matter of interest how many do you know that are staying away - and if you’re staying away how do you know if they’ve returned or not?

I doubt they are too concerned with your pity Unfortunately for you, Joey has done an absolutely fantastic job, promised and delivered promotion, and matches have been selling out, long may that continue. Unfortunately for me?

He already stated that he has been attending and hasn’t been a stay away fan, just said he missed a few old faces he knew that are staying away…

I am talking about mates who I would go to the pub with before and after the game as well. That's why, personally, I am sad that they are not attending (unlike the many on here that prefer just to make snide "good riddance" type jibes - although I am sure it wouldn't bother them a jot, but I am a sensitive little snowflake )

For all the barrack room and stay away lawyers, Wael has today firmly said Joey is definitely the man he wants to take the club forward, and he is backing him, for the next four years, at least.

With this news today I think it's time this thread was put to bed. Joey is clearly going nowhere and for those who have decided not to attend its time to either comeback and support the club or continue what you have been doing for the last eighteen months.

Not been missed - Ground has been rocking The ground has been rocking, especially towards the business end of the season. Very enjoyable. But I have missed some of those that have been staying away. Some of these people I only saw at Rovers, so it is a shame that they cannot bring themselves to attend under Barton. But that is their choice and I respect their decision. It must be very hard for them though. It is a great shame, although, of course, I respect their decision. Life is too short to deny yourself the good things when they come along - there are so many things that I wish I'd done when I had the opportunity, but my social anxiety held me back. I'm going to wild from now onwards!

I don't think any manager or player should have a contract longer than 3 years.

Joey is clearly going nowhere and for those who have decided not to attend its time to either comeback and support the club or continue what you have been doing for the last eighteen months. Surely the thread can only be put to bed once the court case is settled one way or another and there's no danger of Wael dismissing Barton. It does seem odd timing agreeing a 4 year deal when the case is still outstanding, it's almost as if Wael's sticking two fingers up to the CPS.

Rather than talk about what's happening in 4 months time, why not talk about what's happening in 4 weeks time and the 3 months after that.

Can’t we just give it a rest for a couple of days and bask in the new season starting?

From the depths of despair to absolutely joy. One of the best seasons I’ve seen in watching the gas in over 50 years. Life is richer for experiences.
