Weird atmosphere incoming Saturday? Not entirely sure what to expect with such a mixed reaction at the news. All relative I suppose, hit the net without reply and it’s limbs/everyone going home happy Was always the case before, during and after him! |

Surely the moral crusaders will continue their boycott until we get rid of Jevani Brown ? and those that deleted the statement on violent criminals being employed by the club  |

Remember when you were caught in 4K bashing Barton when he managed fleetwood but licking his arse when he was here. Weird behaviour. I’ll be back Saturday Not in the west enclosure - pretty pleeeeeaaassse🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙 Not very supportive of a supportive supporter like yourself. |

There was also the "victimless crime" statement which was the final straw for me. A fish rots from the head, so hopefully the new owners and a new manager will improve things. |

Still don't see the need for the snide "moral crusaders" comment though. It's a personal opinion for most, nothing more. One or two posters may see it as a crusade. Probably the same amount as those accused of being in the "Cult of Barton" which is another phrase I dislike. He's gone, it's time for both sides to move on, not contine to point score. |

If you stay away because you think the manager is mean, you’re an evangelising activist and not a fan. It has to be all about you.
Welcome back to supporting the club, until the next time you get your knickers up the cleft of your buttocks because the left back once had a parking ticket.
Very few people here were in a “cult of barton” as it’s been described. We have loyalty to the club we support which is non-negotiable. Whomever the next man is gets the same support.
Crow all you like, as if you’ve won something. You’ve won nothing other than to be thought of as pretentious children more interested in morally auditing everyone than supporting a football club. Politics is probably a better home than football, there’s plenty of backstabbing and plots to fire people there.
Rest assured, you’ve been permanently relegated to an armchair fan.

I’ve often wondered why fans turn on each other due to an opinion on the club. We all have our beliefs, some want to feel part of something and that feeling more important than winning, I think Barton 💯 created this for some. I don’t think you can argue with this, I said “some” because for these he was like a MAGA Trump leader. You can’t argue with it (well you can) but Cogs had us in the play offs in front of 6,000 fans, over 1,000 stayed away based on the football served up.
I am totally in the winning football camp, Holloway made me feel part of something with good football and winning football. When the winning stopped, I was gutted when he left but we were not winning?! I keep saying it, I was at Portman Road that day when we went 3rd/4th under Cogs, proper goosebumps at the end, I’d love to bottle up that feeling, for me it was seeing my team win and be as high as we could be in the league.
All I want to see is us win games and the fan base be United, we are all Gasheads, respect to you all, to all of us.
I’d rather go to Ashton Gate for a league game in the Championship playing whatever football and seeing us give them a game. I’d rather see us go to places like Cambridge and Burton and just win to a formula.
I just hope the next manager brings winning football, doesn’t talk about Tucker Carlson, Woman refs, retweet pro Palestine stuff, just winning football for me and us singing “E i E I up the football league we go, when we win promotion, this is what we will sing ………….. is our King”
Peace to all.

I think that phrase came about due to the points return in 2023 and still people were defending him. Excuse after excuse after excuse. Even now, when he has been sacked. Fans make comments about players not performing and say if I didn't perform in my job, I would get sacked. JB didn't perform. In fact, there is a chance that some of the things he said about players publicly could be construed as Gross misconduct in a non football job. Imagine in your job talking on the radio about your competitor being a fat Weeble. You would get fired the next day. If you deal with facts and not emotions, the simple case is that JB wasn't a very good manager. |

In no other industry and nor at any other club in my opinion when working for a public customer facing business could you publicly call an employee an idiot and also a competitor a fat weeble. The only kind of people who can get away with stuff like this is Elon Musk at Twitter and Trump, and this is because they are billionaires. |

You're an idiot", is the usual morning greeting. Admittedly, that's from one of the few I like at work. |

No offense intended mate and I could have used a less contentious phrase but the decesion by the few not to support the Team, due to JB's appointment, was a moral one. I think it was the word crusade that may have caused some offence. |

I think it was the word crusade that may have caused some offence. No not really. I, personally, vehemently opposed the appointment of Barton on the grounds that he was and would be a terrible ambassador for the club. Like it or not being that, ambassador, is part of the job. And, it came to pass. I did stop going for most of the season in L2, but went to Newport away (we lost) as I decided not to let his acts and verbage ruin my enjoyment of following Rovers. I am glad, very glad and relieved, he is gone. Not only was he a terrible, narcissistic gobshite as ambassador, his football managerial skills delivered little, it was always jam tomorrow and if things didn't work out he would make a public display of slagging off players. When future fans review the history of the club his period will be seen as a failure laced with embarrassment. I actually do not blame him. He cannot help what he is, whether what he has become (or been) is due to nature or nurture who knows. I point the finger at the chaotic executive of the club under Wael's ownership who appointed him. The frightening thing is, that is still with us, with the addition of a family of Kuwaiti businessman of whom we know little and have heard from even less. A nervous few months beckons. |

I honestly do understand why some didn't like JB but for it was his passion for the club that I loved and I do enjoy a controversial manager as it makes life interesting ! It looks like his recent presser re Evans and possibly calling out Luke Thomas on top of poor performances were the final straw for the owners. If we were higher up the league I don't think his comments would have mattered as it be seen JB being JB but our league position, following decent investment, clearly were no longer acceptable |

Only took 4 posts for an argument over JB to brew again 😂 bring on 3pm Saturday! 🤣if you read the thread title and then read down through it it’s hilarious. People need to lighten up we all love our club and if any individual decides to stop going that’s their business and they’re entitled to do what they want. Hopefully the crowd will be decent tomorrow and we’ll get a much needed win. UTG. |
