He’s trolling me all the time, Gasify summed it up. You are now feeding into him! I'm not trolling you at all I'm just fed up with you slating our team all the time, and your lauguage towards the last manager has been terrible and it's hard to ignore especially when youg uns come on here like my son, a few hours go by and you apologise then do the same thing again. Just for full disclose, have you mentioned the things that JB did and was found guilty of and did time for to your son? And for any younguns watching: This is a lie:

Reminds me of when a certain Newport manager took over and grounded out results Let’s be careful what we wish for and not make the same mistake twice. Onwards and upwards Not sure it is a comparison. Under GC there was a clear plan and the players knew their job. Plus there were players who could score goals. Awful to watch in my opinion and not substantial. Now we appear to be stumbling to results. Not conceding, probably due to Bonds organisation. After that not convinced there is a plan. As others have stated we have been left short on the striker front and would say in midfield as well. Still not convinced by Mangan To be honest, I would be very happy if we stumble to results for the rest of tye season.

You don't *have* to listen. Just block him. Your comment adds nothing to this thread. Gasify - get the point but personally I don’t see what need there was for Roadman to make his comment in the first place as we all know his views and to me it was just a point scoring comment to be antagonistic…. We all know that there were those who were strong advocates of Barton as a manager and what he achieved, those who were in the middle and those with a complete opposite view - and I say Barton as manager as I’m purposely separating out his personal life stuff from him being a manager as I think you can differentiate between the 2 and have different views. He is no longer with us and we have an interim management team in place and they’ll decide (or the new manager) on what we have, need and will change … bringing up what Barton did or didn’t do when he was manager is pointless and adds no value and just creates unnecessary division. Saying to just block or not read isn’t the answer as the unnecessary comment in the first place is the cause. I like reading Roadmans different views as normally they add value and a different perspective even if I don’t always agree with them and I do think it’s important that we have alternative views so people can widen their perspectives but lately it’s almost a constant obsession and continuous hammering of Barton, the club and over promotion of Oxford who are being successful this season after many inconsistent years on and off the pitch (according to my Oxford Utd season ticket holding mate who’s been supporting them for 30 plus years)… it’s on every thread pretty much and just constantly derails the thread(s) unnecessarily in my opinion… Keep posting and sharing views Roadman but maybe just tone it down or reign it back a bit - just like the criticism put forward to those who over promoted Barton and his ‘successes’ and capabilities as manager ….. Just my view… Full disclosure - I am a Barton Hater I think the issue here is that simple rule: "Attack the post, not the poster" We seem to have forgotten this a little as a group. Roadman did make a comment that was designed to inflame the lovers vs the haters debate and I do thinkbitbis time we start to move on. However, the key to debate is to discuss why his comments are correct or incorrect. At some point, we can stop talking about Barton lovers or haters. We will have a new manager to love (or hate). I just think we should have collective responsibility to attack the post and not the poster. If a post makes a member angry, then maybe it would be an opportunity to take a step back and think about why it makes them angry and respond accordingly. Rather than attack that person.

Your man Barton said when he took over from Garner “I will sort out the transfers”………his strikers Leon Clarke, Pitman, Marquis “we have signed the best striker in the league” and thank god Martin was unemployed and living in Bristol, he’s a saviour. Barton hoodwinked you mate and many others, left us with a bang average squad, we need 2 strikers in January to compliment Martin, Marquis is dross bar effort and I’d try and offload him to Div2 don't you ever give up, bloody boring me to death You don't *have* to listen. Just block him. Your comment adds nothing to this thread.

But for every Garner there's a McKenna. One thing that definitely hasn't worked for us is experienced managers. Is there, how many other McKenna's are they, I can only think of Rob Edwards? Are we getting Paul McKenna? That is a significant upgrade from Uri Geller. New owners showing a bit of ambition finally.

The article says "Once the South Stand is finished, AlSaeed said the plan is to turn attentions to develop both sides of the East Stand, followed by the Thatchers Stand." But that's the journalist writing that and not a direct quote. It may well be that is what will happen, but it's not clear from the interview. Thinks it’s about time we had a Thatchers end thread isn’t it ? Can we do The Thatchers end last? I quite like standing.

Only 16 pages👀🤣🤣 Zero shocks. 3 points is 3 points. We have got rid of the one that divided the fan base. The only complaint is how we played and rightly they are being slapped with "Would you rather play possession football and lose?". It's going to be a roller coaster of a season but we can definitely be in the mix come May.

Wycombe went down on the last game of the season, Peterborough can never stay up, MK Dons struggled as well. For me it’s the level of players, gulf is massive, Ipswich went up with Championship players and added, that’s the difference. Millwall fans never liked Rowatt’s brand of football, but look at his budget. Ipswich fans demonstrated to get McCarthy out because he was playing long ball, he delivered a play off side the season before. In comes the new manager playing possession based football, they come straight down. Little Bristol Rovers going up with a JCH playing more direct have a chance of staying up. With Jennings in charge of signings, we have no chance of going up playing possession based football, we don’t sign players with pace in the important positions, we don’t have anyone who can break the lines like Chris Lines did! I blame Wael for some of this, it’s ideas of grandeur. Garner was brought in to play this brand, look at where it got us and now Barton. The idea was correct, the implementation has been somewhat flawed.

Admittedly I wasn't at Reading or Carlisle, nor did I watch on IFollow; but I'm struggling with the argument that 7 points out of 9 is irrelevant because we've played rubbish teams and the performances have been patchy. These were the exact sort of games we've struggled to get anything out of since the turn of the year under Barton! The issue is AM's not really been tested by even a top half team, if we lose 3-0 at Derby again will fans still be saying he's the best man for the job? Just out of interest, how did we do last season away at Derby and did fans say that manager was the best man for tye job?

Isn’t it about time we started chucking a bit of money into the women’s team ? Failed to get promoted last yr and not guaranteed this season . Yet we’re playing Portishead town ladies in the cup who are a league above us . Why would the football club fund something that isn’t ran by them? You’d need the CT to agree to letting the club run the ladies side for this to happen Good question. How much say does the football club have in the projects that the Community Trust undertakes? I assumed it was up as high as 80% to 90%.

Best to not take to seriously what is reported on the other forum , or just don't look at it, then the misinformationon on there will stay there. Does that include the Quarters being partly used as housing to pay for the stadium improvements. 🤔 That has been pretty obvious from the beginning though, hasn't it? That is why is was bought through a separate entity. The issue again, would be our friend planning permission.

Is this not a weakening of his odds as of recent? I cannot see an announcement until next week, think the post have confirmed Mang’s will take charge Saturday…. Lets hope so, although once Joey gets another job, unless Andy Mangan is made permanent manager of BRFC, the exodus of both the backroom staff and the better players will begin. Then the haters would have won, enter stage left a Cotterill, Garner lookalike and we are back to a boss with no contacts, and a team which habitually bounces around in the bottom third of the division. So far, these 'better players' don't seem to be playing better. Who do you think we would miss if they left? Genuine question: Would you rather be bouncing around bottom of league 1 or pushing for promotion in league 2? I only say that as JB record with us was literally bouncing around bottom of league one (2.25 seasons) or pushing for promotion from league 2 (0.5 of a season).

The forum seems to have taken on a rather nasty tone, with personal vendettas being acted out on almost every thread. Such a shame as it used to be my "go to" place to keep up with what's going on at Rovers. This is one of the reasons i don't post these days because of the personal insults flying around about any posts. i was privy to some interesting information from my local councilor who is on one of the planning committee's but did not post as i know Kn*bs on here would just dis it Was it to do with making the wrong planning application by any chance?

There were reasons it went wrong at Oxford for him. His personal life was turned upside down when his wife left him after he had an affair with the Oxford ladies captain. That was what I was told by 2 Oxford ST holders I met at an England cricket game 2/3 months ago. Sounds like a decent chap if that's true... 😏 Yeah, your husband having an affair would be a real kick in the teeth...

Just put a massive projection screen up showing a beach or something, that might please them You say this in Jest. I think that this is a solution for the Thatchers end. When we do the same thing on the Thatchers, the houses behind are going to lose their view. I think the only way of maintaining that view is by a digital solution. Disney do it on their boats:

A truly depressing list of failure after failure managers that have been linked with us. View AttachmentIt's a risk whoever's appointed there's no guarantee that any new manager coming in will be successful regardless of any past success they have had at other clubs. Who ever is appointed will need time to bed in and be supported by the fans Managers,Coaches, Owners and players will come and go but the fans will always be there regardless Why does it have to be negative? Why can't we look forward to a New Manager bounce?

Not going to go down well with a few but Barton should not of been sacked, no one out there better than him I tend to agree here whilst Joey's was not everyone's cup of tea there's no denying some of the signings he made have been outstanding. The results may have not gone Joey's way but you could see what he was trying to build in the long run personally I think they would have improved over time but the final nail in his coffin was the remarks regard Steve Evans. His mouth was like a magicians hat you just never knew what was going to come out of it, so come the end he was just to much of a liability for the owners to invest in He made the signings due to being backed by the owners and having the budget. The final piece in the puzzle didn't happen. Even as a JB Hater, I do honestly believe that with JCH we would be challenging for top 6 and JB would still be here. I know that this wasn't his fault (I haven't read anything that links JB to the greatest transfer f*ckup in our history) and it is a shame that he ended up dieing on the sword for something out of his control. However, with the budget given and the players recruited we should be closer to the playoff than to the relegation zone. The facts are that when JB was sacked, we were closer to the relegation zone.

Not going to go down well with a few but Barton should not of been sacked, no one out there better than him think that may have dawned on the owners. Probably looking at the grass behind them at the moment Thing is, these managers have baggage as we have played against them and have a dislike of them naturally from being the opposition. The complaints of Cotterill cause he called us "Ragbag" is the same as JB saying to City we are coming for you. Its all mouth to appease the fans. Some have promotions, some have relegation (I wonder is JB omits the relegation from his CV). If you look at JB on paper, it's different from JB the persona. Some people liked that, some people didn't. For the first time that I can remember, the owners are showing ambition and accountability. We are still moaning on. We should be pretty happy that our owners are showing the ambition that I think we all want.

Bartons results weren't good enough for the budget that he was given. The owners have said that. If you want to put your £10M to £20M into the pot, I'll back you in bringing back Barton.
