Rovers are a much bigger club with a much bigger history in a much bigger town than Fleetwood was, is or ever will be , naturally expectation will be the greater as well as the press release acknowledged prior to his appointment
If Barton keeps his head screwed on and uses everything at his disposal both here and from his previous contacts and experience he has the opportunity to do very well
I’m 100 percent behind his appointment, he can raise the profile of the club and change perception of him to the masses all at the same time
If he wants it , let’s hope he does
I will watch with avid interest how he stewards the next 18 matches , mid table survival and a playing style emerging will be what I expect to see over next couple months

Oh dear, we really are mining the bottom of the barrel now aren’t we I’ll give you one tip for free change your forum name cos you clearly ain’t Gas 365 It’s a genuine question- what gives you the right to decide what is acceptable for other fans to support? I’m not deciding anything I’m giving my opinion and my unequivocal opinion is that no matter who the owners appoint as manager I will always support the gas and I can cope with whatever opinions get thrown at the club through those choices made whether by media, other clubs fans or those with differing opinions in here Because players, managers, owners all come and go and people wetting the bed and turning their back on the club about having JB as the new manager is just IN MY OPINION laughable. It’s not that deep the only two constants are the shirt and the fans. and this week we’ve found out that all fans are not created equal. Some have found a new high horse to perch on and bestow high moral wisdom to this forum from that perch. carry on. I’m fine with that. I just don’t agree with it. eat your heart out with my blessing, just don’t look up and say it’s tastes bitter. |

You need not think quoting Wurzel songs at me will endear you at all I’m sorry you consider my posts divisive, if you could point me at any other divisive posts I’ve made I’d be very grateful , seems to me it’s others that wish to be divisive by withdrawing support for BRFC because they don’t like the management the owners deem to put in place. so I really hope that when and if those ex-fans feel the need to support the gas they have the courage of their convictions and stay away, we don’t need fair weather supporters or glory seekers , I’d rather stand on the centenary in the rain with the faithful and true but then I’ve been a bit old school like that What if we hired Benny Bennall when he gets released from the nick? I mean, hey, everyone deserves a second chance and Crewe had a successful youth academy when he was there. Would you walk away? I’ll bet you would because hey, he’s a paedo right? If so, what gives you the right to determine where someone else’s morals start and end in terms of who this club associates with? Oh dear, we really are mining the bottom of the barrel now aren’t we I’ll give you one tip for free change your forum name cos you clearly ain’t Gas 365 |

Completely agree And I cannot fathom how anyone could see it any differently the absolute dross and weak kneed drivel on this thread about not supporting the gas if JB is appointed says more about them as people than as gas heads Let’s not let the door hit their asses on the way out , be more fun seeing them choking on huge slabs of humble pie if we assault the top 6 when they weasel their way back to be “supporters” again Blackbeard I'll have E!!!!! Another divisive stirring post from the blackbeard. You need not think quoting Wurzel songs at me will endear you at all I’m sorry you consider my posts divisive, if you could point me at any other divisive posts I’ve made I’d be very grateful , seems to me it’s others that wish to be divisive by withdrawing support for BRFC because they don’t like the management the owners deem to put in place. it’s possible you are referring to the slap on the nose I gave you last night , however it’s not been deemed divisive no one disliked it and about 15 gave it the thumbs up . Portably much to your dismay . so I really hope that when and if those ex-fans feel the need to support the gas they have the courage of their convictions and stay away, we don’t need fair weather supporters or glory seekers , I’d rather stand on the centenary in the rain with the faithful and true but then I’ve been a bit old school like that |

Same fans complaining now were complaining when we were in the playoff places under Coughlan because the football wasn't pretty; would you rather be a club with a controversial manager in League 1 or a club with a nice family-club manager in League 2? I know what I'd rather Completely agree And I cannot fathom how anyone could see it any differently the absolute dross and weak kneed drivel on this thread about not supporting the gas if JB is appointed says more about them as people than as gas heads Let’s not let the door hit their asses on the way out , be more fun seeing them choking on huge slabs of humble pie if we assault the top 6 when they weasel their way back to be “supporters” again |

Who do we want as City's next manager? Very nice attempt at diversion GGMI however a vain attempt to deflect the fact you’ve dug yourself a very large and very stupid hole on this thread you waffle on all day long week after week on this forum as though somehow the more posts you can compile makes you more gas than anyone else then you post the “naive” information about Barton’s brother which is all a matter of public record and also recorded in his autobiography which as the resident expert on all of Barton’s shortcomings I would have thought you may have read I’m sorry you are terrified a few spotty oiks might want to give it the big un up n down Gloucester Road once and if Barton is installed but I’m sure Avon and Somerset’s finest will soon sort them out if they stray too far across the line, it’s not 1982 any more after all why don’t you just give yourself and everyone else a well earned rest from your drivel, your “well intentioned” diatribes and generally pathetic insights into what people will and won’t do and think |

As usual the correct response is a bit of balance
Ollie’s point are all valid ones, however the last two managers have for whatever reason not been fit for purpose
I have no doubts that if Coughlan hadn’t removed himself from his position , he would still be here if we were getting same results and PpG return that he enjoyed during his tenure , irrespective of how pretty the football was or wasn’t
So if the next guy emulates that or better then no reason why he shouldn’t get a decent crack of the whip
I just don’t think the owners are prepared to countenance L2 hence the decisions made to move Garner and Tisdale out where there is still time to do something about it

I really don’t get the obsession with JB? Admittedly no one else on the potentials list is that inspiring but whilst I think JB is a good coach as proven at Fleetwood, I hardly think he’s marquee.... Fleetwood was his first and only managerial role so far and whilst he did do ok there, he was backed financially but didn’t get them promoted? He turned them into an upper table performing side and yes they made the playoffs but it’s not like they were there every season? We also need to remember, just like players, just because he did well at Fleetwood doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll do well with us. He does rightly or wrongly come with baggage... Personally I don’t think we should be going all out for him (if we are) and we should be looking at putting a caretaker position in until the end of the season (Mansell and Hargreaves) and then we can reassess as his court case will be done and there may potentially be more options to pick from You think we are going to shell out marquee money ? |

Not now they’re not 4 years in the prem makes Bournemouth by far the superior side and currently attracting the Cv’s of John Terry, Thierry Henry etc - the stock is much much higher once they’ve been in the prem that stuff lingers it pervades the club like the whiff of school cabbage Ipswich , Wigan , Sunderland , Huddersfield they’ve all been there and they can all lord that over city all day long don’t mistake the size of the town with the stature of the club if that was the case the sh** or us or both would be top 6 prem I meant in terms of the clubs history, fan base and stadium. Bournemouth have been criticised for not investing in their infrastructure while in the Premier League. Their ground holds less than The Mem! You’re entitled to your opinion but personally I wouldn’t give any weight to city’s history when comparing the stature of both clubs presently city are the ultimate wannabe premier league side and there’s no doubt if they ever made that leap they would then attract better players and managers their fans are convinced they are a big club when anyone worth a jot in football continue to deride Bristol footballs perennial underachievement with benevolent tolerance and comedic disdain making that leap is easier said than done not to mention painfully expensive and I just don’t think Bristol sport have the appetite to pump the necessary loot into the project when they have many more money making distractions |

I do agree about being a decent manager away to a certain extent but I don’t think Lansdowne is that bothered to pump the necessary £ into the team to get them to the prem he’s got Premiership rugby and the bears (fnar) are top of the tree now which in comparison to football has been relatively cheap and fast to deliver. Bristol as a footballing town is a perennial underachiever and just not attractive to big name managers or players To be fair C*ty are a bigger club than Bournemouth Not now they’re not 4 years in the prem makes Bournemouth by far the superior side and currently attracting the Cv’s of John Terry, Thierry Henry etc - the stock is much much higher once they’ve been in the prem that stuff lingers it pervades the club like the whiff of school cabbage Ipswich , Wigan , Sunderland , Huddersfield they’ve all been there and they can all lord that over city all day long don’t mistake the size of the town with the stature of the club if that was the case the sh** or us or both would be top 6 prem |

They have been a good manager away from the premier league for a few years now. Fortunately they always hire the wrong guy. Eddie Howe would be the man I would be going for. Hopefully they make another pig’s ear of it. I do agree about being a decent manager away to a certain extent but I don’t think Lansdowne is that bothered to pump the necessary £ into the team to get them to the prem he’s got Premiership rugby and the bears (fnar) are top of the tree now which in comparison to football has been relatively cheap and fast to deliver.

Surprised how many have voted for Barton although I do think he would keep us up. I'd like Michael Duff. I think a lot of people in the words of the sex pistols want someone to “give it some bollocks “ |

Could somebody summarise the case against please? I get we think he’s a bit of a knob as opposition fans, but pretty sure Grimsby fans thought the same about DC. And Holloway was pretty divisive. Is this any more than siege mentality I think siege mentality is one of the only things we’ve got left |

Don’t quite understand the worries and fears it’s nothing to lose sleep over at the end of the day but I def wouldn’t be spouting about being “done with Rovers “ if I disagreed with the owners management appointments I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again there’s are only two constants , the fans and the shirt, the rest are tumbleweeds at best Barton might be wrong and he might be right. No one knows. But he gets us into top 8 playing nice football with a bit of pride I’m certain sure as I’ve got a hole in my a$$ the ones that “were done” - won’t be Tbf I get that. Whilst I'm not personally okay with Barton as manager, there's no way I'd stop supporting Rovers if we appointed him - I'd suck it up and support the team. My concern is that it will end in tears due to something akin to his past behaviour occurring once more. Maybe you're right and I shouldn't worry about it - what will be, will be. My frustration/anger is that there are a number on here taking the p*ss out of those that are (surely understandably) concerned given his rap sheet to date. We are all entitled to our opinions, but I think a couple of posters have gone way too far and you'd be forgiven for thinking they were Barton's father or brother; I've no idea whey they are getting so personal. Agreed there’s no need to be personal and your reply is well reasoned ultimately we all care about Rovers and I just assumed (wrongly) that whoever came in, especially with us doing so badly on the pitch, would get supported by the masses but that’s clearly not the case yeh on paper Barton isn’t your typical rovers manager. Doesn’t make him the wrong choice. Maybe the preceding 3 were? certainly they were all Marmite , DC even had detractors at his zenith , which again I really don’t understand but a little of perspective is needed here. Barton isn’t Satan or Hitler , he’s just a gobby punchy bloke who was bestowed a certain amount of talent and he’s ridden that this far. maybe he hops off on his life journey in Bs7 , has a look in the mirror and decides this chance he won’t screw up. He might take to the mild mild west and thrive in the environment We’ve all got ten mates and one or two are a bit of a cannon. Do we not support them if they need it ? it’s not that deep really |
