Hearing that Barton spoke out once too often … Wael wasn’t keen to pull the plug but was over ruled.
Don’t expect a new face too soon … this was not planned.

Dream appointment: Gary Rowett Stretch but not unimaginable: John Eustace Realistic: Karl Robinson Cheap: Andy Mangan full-time Steve Evans would be a good shout....

I wonder if referees would be so kind as to stop giving every marginal decision against us now that JB is gone.

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 think some of fans would deserve to end up with Cotterill !!

Mangan staying on, is this because he wants the job?

Really surprised by this. Thought he would get time.

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. I'm connecting dots with no proper evidence to back this up. But I get the feeling morale in the team has taken a hit since the latest LT bashing. It'll be interesting to see how they respond.

I did say on Tuesday night while watching the game that if the new owners are serious about the club, how long can this go on, let’s be honest, it’s been frustrating at best, and we have not improved since last season. A lot of money was spent on the team this season and nothing I have seen, other than an odd bit of quality has impressed me. I wanted Joey to succeed, after all if he succeeds, we succeed. Who replaces him ? - Someone with a hard skin and balls of steel … good luck, after all this is Bristol Bloody Rovers!!

Big argument caused it apparently I’ve heard which suggests the timing. Would’ve been done yesterday morning if it was purely results based. I’d heard before Tuesday that the new owners hadn’t been keen on JB from day one and poor results Tuesday and Saturday would have sealed his fate. Didn’t expect this to happen quite so quickly.

He has nothing to lose - stay and if things go right has a good shout at the job, otherwise when Barton finds another club move on then ....

I was on the fence with Barton. I was really encouraged at one point and surprised he hasn't been given a bit more time. However we are currently under performing in the league and he has been backed.
I'm really intrigued who we go for now. From the names mentioned I would much prefer a chance on a John Eustace than a Karl Robinson, who failed at Oxford where he was backed.

Be interesting to see if any managers come forward and apply for it. Although it has some gaps in it the squad is pretty solid on paper, so would think quite a few would fancy themselves to be able to do something decent with it. Especially with January round the corner too.

I'm very surprised and very disappointed. I believe he would have turned the tide. I hope the club don't live to regret this, the wrong appointment could lead to disaster this season. I hope this proves to be a real statement of intent and not a total bottle job. all this lot that wanted him gone will come back to bite them on the ass, we will get another Tisdale or Garner now, Barton would have got it sorted, I'm gutted and don't want to go on Saturday now, really gutted

Genuinely upset by this, he did a massive rebuild exercise and completely changed the style of football (for the better). Remember it wasn't long ago GC was getting slammed for getting us to 4th.
Feels like we have decent players on the pitch and whilst I agree he lacks some class my bigger concern is who will come in?
JB always says how good Wael was to work for something has happened for sure.
