Hi all, New episode just dropped going over all the Barton controversy, and the rest of the events this week in BS7. Hope you give it a listen and enjoy: Episode 9: Barton's PR DisasterIn this week's episode, Max is joined by Mets and Duke to go over the 3-1 home defeat to Newport Town - as well as discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding Rovers manager Joey Barton and his latest post-match comments.
With Rovers in the national news (again) the boys discuss the future of the club, the ownership, and where we go from here.
Mets talks up the form of Brett Pitman, Duke thinks Rovers still have bite despite a poor result, whilst Max looks on enviously at Harrogate Town's system. |

Another great pod guys. I am completely in agreement with you, particularly Duke. The lack of a statement truly beggars belief. It shows a total lack of business sense as much as anything else. It's exasperating.
Quite unbelievably, I am now at a stage where I think the previous board were no less competent than this bunch of jokers. It reminds me of the House of Commons right now. Send in the clowns? They're already here.

You're starting to come across as a bit of a troll, now. Not at all. Hands across the sea, from my Rovers to yours 🤝 Fascinated by what's going on with you. Used to live right near the Mem, still live in Bristol. If I wanted to troll the forum, I would pretend to be a Gashead, and posting about how ace a manager and a misunderstood genius I think Joey Barton is. And I figure there can be some good chat when we host you at The New Lawn next month. |

Good episode, the silence from the club is deafening - condoning it by not making him apologise.
Surely the national spotlight has to force Wael's hand now.

I do wonder if the silence is actually a lack of desire to be accountable for his actions.
Starnes has been extremely quiet since Barton was installed. I wonder if the reports that there were members of the board who aren’t impressed with his actions implies that Starnes, Widdrington, Gorringe want him out but can’t do anything as Wael has the deciding vote.
It’s not a giant leap to assume that perhaps the board don’t want to apologise for someone they don’t feel should be in the job in the first place and want to distance themselves from him.
If you were a director, and your thoughts were “don’t want him in the job anyway”, would you want to come out making a statement blowing smoke up his backside? I wouldn’t.
The lack of statements could, in a way, be telling. And could indicate a lack of consensus behind the scenes.
