How can the charge not have substance when his own wife must have informed the police? Maybe a neighbour heard rowing and called the police? They then saw that she had sustained some sort of head injury, and charged him. On many âdomesticsâ as the police call them, the victims do call the police only to later withdraw their complaint but the biggest problem is many do this out of fear and threat. We will soon find out, no German to translate. I would bet he stays, regardless of outcome as Wael has basically handed everything over to him. Joey Bartonâs Bristol Rovers, say it and see if you would like hearing it said. Never a dull moment being Gas

All I will say it's a total mess, I would hope wael knows about it, wont speculate as we don't know what happened, domestic abuse cannot be tolerated though.
We are in a state only swindle are in a worst position, we ve gone all in with joey and let him rule the roost, in hindsight looking a bad poker shout.

Itâs not uncommon t a wife in a domestic abuse situation not want to press charges. In fact, it is probably more common than the scenario where a wife does. None of us know the facts but even if the injury isnât serious and heâs been forgiven how do we look as a club if we brush it under the carpet too? Iâm genuinely gutted. I have JB the benefit of the doubt and was beginning to look forward to the season. How can JB focus on the club now and what striker will sign for us now? Looks like weâll be going with Ayunga and Hanlan again and Daley replaced by Saunders. The atmosphere isnât exactly going to be positive either. So, if convicted, we need to act quickly to get in a manager again and all the back room staff etc are Joeys mates. So do they all go or stay and work with a new manager? Iâd thatâs the case it would need to be a wise head who can also mange the back room staff. Itâs just a shambles every way you look at it. All we can hope is that if he does go, whoever comes in can get things sorted quickly or weâll be scrapping with Swindon to stay up! If Barton pleads not guilty then the trial isn't likely to take place until after the Stendel re-trial so it'll make little difference to the players he's signed, as they've already taken the risk he might leave. But what sort after striker will now want to join us if Barton remains in charge. Iâm far more concerned about this case than the Stendel trial. If guilty with Stendel and he gets away with not going to prison, then it was just another case of Joey being Joey. Besides, seems like something which has just been overegged. Iâm sure Iâm not just speaking for myself when I say that this case is a whole other kettle of fish. If we were looking for a new manager thereâs no way in hell supporters would be happy appointing a manager convicted of domestic violence and Iâm sure the club wouldnât appoint a manager in that boat either.

On the brightside, at least we won't have to pay him off! AND we might actually get a football manager who isn't totally and utterly incompetent... Tisdale is available, he did quiet well in this league Me, i would go for the Torquay manager, good record and has plenty of contacts at our level (league 2/national league) and no criminal history that we know about

The Times said of his appointment FOOTBALL | ROD LIDDLE Bristol Rovers will be getting the same old Joey Barton Rod Liddle Sunday February 28 2021, 12.01am, The Sunday Times Cometh the hour, cometh the maniac. Bristol Rovers, deep in trouble in the third tier, were desperate for salvation â and believe they have found it in the form of Joseph Anthony Barton. Yes, heâs back in a managerial capacity, one month after being dismissed by Fleetwood Town. The Fleetwood gig did not end too well. Joey sacked Fleetwoodâs top scorer, Ched Evans, supposedly because of a comedy skit the striker performed at a Friday night get-together. But also, as Barton put it, for various âinfractionsâ. The clubâs owner, Andy Pilley, investigated the matter and decided that Barton must go as well. Perhaps it was also at the back of Pilleyâs mind that Barton will be up in court in June, accused of headbutting and punching the former Barnsley manager, Daniel Stendel, in the tunnel after a game. If found guilty it is not beyond imagination, given Joeyâs lengthy rap sheet, that a custodial sentence might apply. None of this put off the Bristol Rovers owner, Wael al Qadi, who appointed Barton to take charge last week. His debut as manager was a 2-1 home defeat in a relegation six-pointer with Wigan Athletic. Perhaps it was too early for Mr Barton to have left an indelible mark on the team. The appointment divided the long-suffering Gasheads. Many complained that Barton was the wrong fit for a âfamily clubâ. Who did they want then? Holly Willoughby? But then Barton has always rather divided opinion. I have some time for the chap, despite the fact that he once complained, bitterly, to this newspaper that I had referred to him as a âpsychopathâ. I meant it in a good way. He was playing for Newcastle United at the time and insisted that his wild days were behind him: he now wished to be a role model and his behaviour was exemplary. A little later this role model was sent off for a terrible tackle on Xabi Alonso, causing his manager Alan Shearer to scream at him in the dressing room that it was a âcowardâs tackleâ. A somewhat heated row developed, with Barton flinging a salvo of vituperation at his boss. When assistant manager Iain Dowie intervened, Barton remarked: âYou keep out of it, boxing-glove head.â Magnificent, in its way, no? My own view is that Barton was a greatly under-rated player and also a decent writer. His book about the game, No Nonsense, is pungent, funny and very often perceptive. But I do not go along with those who excuse Barton because he is articulate, sometimes even given to quoting Friedrich Nietzsche â as if he were one of those noble savages Jean Genet used to write about. A punch in the face is still a punch in the face, regardless of whether or not the perpetrator has a copy of Albert Camusâs The Plague in his pocket. Bartonâs rap sheet is very, very lengthy and it is punctuated, every so often, by him saying that heâs going straight. But he never does, or never has yet. Nor does he quite disown his own violence, bragging (in his book) after punching one member of his own team (three times, hard), that he was âfrom the streetsâ. Barton, the new Bristol Rovers manager, has always divided opinion Barton, the new Bristol Rovers manager, has always divided opinion REX One or maybe two infractions we might forgive and even forget, but that is not the case with Barton. Stubbing out a cigar in a young playerâs eye, lamping a 15-year-old who was lippy, punching Morten Gamst Pedersen, even beating up his own dad. Itâs a long litany. Iâm sure Joey would agree with Jean-Paul Sartreâs insistence that our existence precedes our essence, that we can make of ourselves what we will, that our personalities are not set in stone when we are born. But he reverts to type time and time again. Also, Iâm not convinced by those spectacles he wears when heâs addressing the media, or the Cambridge Union. Those are the only times he wears them, to appear studious and un-Joey-Barton-like. Bet itâs plain glass in those frames. Still, I wish him well in Bristol. He has a shrewd and unforgiving footballing brain and thoroughly dislikes some of the appurtenances of modern football â especially cossetted, useless players. He is also undoubtedly a talismanic presence, which is pretty much all a manager needs to be. We overstate the importance of the manager when in truth he is the most expendable employee of the club. You want your club to do better? Get a new owner, or a new centre forward. Managers are only rarely the cause of a teamâs success or failure â just ask JĂŒrgen Klopp at mid-table Liverpool. SPONSORED Barton met with his team shortly before that defeat by Wigan. He remarked that he was pleasantly surprised by their eyeballs. I am not entirely sure what that means. If heâs going to punch anyone it will probably be the defenders, who have been hopeless all season. Unless he really has changed. Have you, Joey? By all means make your own mind up about JB. But itâs best not to use what someone who punched his pregnant girlfriend. A definite case of double standards, hypocrisy or kettle, kettle, pot, black. UTG!

âAshamed to wear the shirtâ âEmbarrassed to be Rovers fanâ âHeading to non leagueâ A very poor situation to find ourselves in, but some of the over reactions in this thread are bordering on hilarious. Yes, there is an over reaction in terms of BRFC. The same players are still here, the recruitment hasnât changed, our season should not be de-railed by this. But views of JB perhaps no over reaction. Heâs come in, half the fan base have believed in what heâs done and have been prepared to forgive, now this. So, whatever way you look at it Wael, the fans, the club have been let down. At the moment itâs at that stage where we need to wait for the court to decide, itâs more than an allegation but less than a conviction. Itâs a mess. UTG!

Absolutely spot on! If JB is perceived as vile , how on earth would anyone find the right vocabulary to describe the reptile that is Liddell . Utg
