Wow. Didn't think we were near that stage yet so shocked by that. Time for that list of Barton out brigade to come out😂 I think wel get Karl Robinson or Steve Cottrell but I'd prefer Paul cook who's doing a terrific job at chesterfield and has a management style that suits the squad we have built. I'd prefer John Eustace who was just booted out by Birmingham simply because the new owner wanted to appoint Wayne Rooney. Not sure if that is realistic though as he will no doubt be looking at another Championship job. |

Came in 4 points above the relegation zone and now leaves us 5 points a one it spending a lot more money than we were.
A disaster appointment from the second he walked in the door and delighted he’s gone.

My worry is we have a team and backroom staff who were very invested in Barton, and the impact this will have on their morale.

Bristol Rovers Football Club can confirm that today the club has relieved First Team Manager Joey Barton of his duties. Everyone at the club would like to thank Joey for all his efforts and wish him well in the future. In the interim, Andy Mangan will lead the team supported by Glenn Whelan, Danny Ventre and Anssi Jaakkola who will remain in post. Everyone doing a lot of lifting. |

I feel this has more to do with off the field stuff rather than recent results. Anyway, all those people who would never watch Rovers whilst JB was manager will now be turning up in their droves! Should add about 20 to our attendance......

Paul Cook would be great. The thought of the other two makes me shudder. |

Not surprised or disappointed. Tuesday night I personally lost hope. I look forward to a less controversial future under a new manager who can push us forward. Here begins the reckoning on who comes next. Agreed, wasn't a fan of the original appointment and he did bring some added attention. Thanks for the good memories, I'll not dwell on the lesser ones. Board now need to make a statement of intent and appoint someone with genuine pedigree. |

Big argument caused it apparently I’ve heard which suggests the timing. Would’ve been done yesterday morning if it was purely results based.

Robinson or Cotterill? I'd rather have Anne Robinson than Karl, as for Cotterill - jesus christ.
Paul Cook for me, all day long. He's scouse, so will fit right in.

Well wasn't expecting that. Joey Barton has been sacked. Where do we go from here?

Firstly, I’ve never hidden the fact that I’m not a fan of the man, but he has done for the most part, a really good job in my opinion.
The worry here is that we have so many players and staff that he brought to the club, that probably came in big part because of him, that this could get a bit messy sorting it out for a new manager.
I hope the new owners know what they’re doing. This is a big test, for sure.

Strange all the back room staff remain, think there is more to this then results.

L1 PPG with us would have saw us relegated in 8/10 L1 seasons.
8 wins in last 32 League games.
Biggest budget in our history.
Absolute w**ker.
Good riddance
