I must have blocked it out. What was the sign? Club bought a sign League 2 winners for the following season on the last game of the season we got relegated, major embarrassment and so cocky. Yikes. Did not know that.

Think he will do a good job, but had enough of his post mortems we have watched every missed chance, poor marking at set pieces, general bad game management, poor substitutions, lack of forward signings etc. I want some action, players released asap and a joined up plan how we will get back up, and not just tread water, actually start pushing for the championship. I dont want to see any HMS P#$$ the league rubbish on here, remember the sign the club put up and we got relegated again ffs. I must have blocked it out. What was the sign?

I feel like we're passengers in a canoe heading for the Niagra Falls. The first skipper turned up without his oars so we threw him overboard. The second skipper fell asleep as we approached the edge so he was given the old heave-ho too. Now we've found out skipper number three has been strapped and superglued to his seat and is cackling maniacally as we plummet over the edge. "There was a cancer running through the shipyard that built this canoe. If those oar carvers had been doctors they'd have been called negligent. As soon as we've crashed over the edge of these falls I'm going to take this crew of rowers outside and shoot them". Yeah that would really make them start heaving in the right direction.

I’ll ask on this thread as nobody seems to have an answer... Still confused as to what JB has done to be trusted with the great reset. Sh!t players or not, JB's performance as manager is worse than BG who is one of the worst managers in our history. He also has no experience of L2. He effectively said in public we were down long before we were and publicly criticised everyone and everything, taking no responsibility himself. Why should he be trusted with the great reset?! Not necessarily advocating sacking him but can’t understand the clamour to let him loose at a total restructure when he has been a total failure so far. Any ideas? Think it comes down to the fact that the owner has given his a 2.5 year contract and he is the man the owner believes is the right person to carry out this reset which lets be honest is needed. Whether he is the right man or not we can only judge once he has had pre-season and brought in his own players but even if we were to get rid of him and a new man comes in their is going to be a risk with such a big rebuild needed. Only time will tell if its worked once we are into a dozen games next season but if we were to appoint a new manager then the same question and concerns will arise as I don’t know there is any manager who out there who when a rebuild is needed you can be sure will get it right. Had we got rid of DC when we got relegated or after the start we had in the national league then who knows, We may have done even better and gone up as champions or we could have stayed in that league and still be there or worse off now. DC was a proven manager at Conference South level so a reasonable appointment in the conference. Barton knows nothing about league two. It's not "real football" remember?

Talking about the beheadings he'd make at the end of the season when there were what? Eight games? Left to play is nigh on suicidal. Eight games - 24 points. The potential to finish on 62 points and talking about taking the players out and shooting them at the end of the season. Idiotic.

No, I do get it. And you perfectly illustrated the guy's point. Next season we're going nowhere with the mouth in charge. If you got it, you wouldn’t be saying he was worse 😂. Don’t think any other football league manager ever, has thought, let’s have 4 left backs and 3 strikers. Garner deserves the award for worst manager ever, for that alone! Garner even signed loads of players in January and we got worse. Then signed loads during the summer. Whose record was worse, with another managers squad??? Even though they had a chance to sign players?? Or can you not answer that?? So you're saying Garner should take responsibility for poor results with Coughlan's squad but Barton shouldn't take responsibility for poor results with Garners squad? Does that definitely make sense? The idea that a manager should only be judged on his performance with his own squad is so clearly wrong it doesn't withstand even a single second's critical thought. If Barton had come in and we'd won all the games we'd lost and he'd gone on an amazing winning streak literally no one would be saying we couldn't judge him until he had his own squad. The role of football manager is one with responsibilities far beyond just recruitment. Training, motivation, selection, tactics, substitutions, being the face of the club to the fans. There's no reason he shouldn't be judged by those criteria and Barton has failed on every single one of those.

I think you're making the chap's point for him. Barton has managed to come after Garner ... and still do worse. No I’m not. Obviously you don’t get it, like him. Last season Garner struggled, as it wasn’t his squad. Even though that squad, were in a play off position. His record with a play off placed squad, high on confidence, was worse than Barton’s with a squad low on confidence, without a striker. Garner should have done better than Barton and PT with this squad, as they were signed to play his way. So you judge the manager’s under the same circumstances. Garner last season, Barton this season. Born with others players. Barton has to judged next season. When it’s his squad. Don’t know if Barton is the right man, but he has to d given a chance. Garner was the worst manager though. We are in this mess, because of him. No, I do get it. And you perfectly illustrated the guy's point. Next season we're going nowhere with the mouth in charge.

...not just at Bristol Rovers but in the history of world football. He has taken the same players which Garner, Widdrington and Tisdale had and made them even worse...I wouldn’t trust him to drive the team bus next season let alone assemble a new squad. What was Garners record like last season??? Worse than Barton’s this season, wasn’t it?? I think you're making the chap's point for him. Barton has managed to come after Garner ... and still do worse.

i watched halifax win today 4-2 in the nat league if we played them tomorrow they would get 6 past us i have run a football team under 15 we were beat 21-0 and they put every goalscoarers name in the local paper try and get kids or anyone to come back after that we are going down i love the gas 21-0? Can you do Wednesday for an interview with Wael? There was a cancer running through the core of that under 15's team. If the people involved in that set-up were Doctors they'd be called negligent. I stopped watching after 15-0 to watch some real football on the Champions League.

FFS - can we delete this embarrassing twaddle. I'm more embarrassed by the guy who makes Lincoln's team talk for them to the press before the game has kicked off.

Sadly Wael has surrounded himself with total incompetents and Fools.... Despite offers of other support he clearly prefers to work with ‘Yes Men’ who have taken him for a complete ride. In January, I sent Wael a text. I said "Wael, we are in trouble. You need to chnge the club and surround yourself with winners" He didn't reply I tend to ignore nonsensical spam too.

everything coming out of the club at the moment screams "shambles". But it's not everything coming out of the club though is it? It's not anything coming out of the club. It's everything coming out of Joey Barton's mouth.

Hopefully the club ignore most of the drama queens on here, take a deep breath and realise things are nowhere near as bad as some would make out. We’re back in the league where we’ve spent the majority of the last 20 years. Off the field, despite Barton’s comments, we’re in a better position than we have been for ages - work to be done but moving in the right direction. We’ve got a chance to wave goodbye to a number of grossly overpaid journeymen and hopefully add 4 or 5 decent players to a squad with plenty of potential that’s lacking goals and leadership. Getting relegated is a bit of a drama , when you start the season with ambitions to get in the playoffs. That’s sort of rule one ...... don’t get relegated! Funny I thought everyone on here knew for certain we were going down at the start of the season because of Tommy Widdrington ... or something ...

When Mr Wael made his official statement recently recognising the teams failings ,it was appeasing and I fell for it. HOWEVER. Still losing Still never scoring. Still strikers who have scored less in a combined total than Oxford have in their last TWO games. Still no new ground news Still no ground improvements. Still the only team with tents for stands. Still in the bottom four. Still destined for the depths of L2 Still sadly no match for the other Bristol team even though they lose every week too. Still Floundering as a club as we look to welcome crowds back to watch the might of Salford,Morecambe,Harrogate and Barrow. Still totally crap. Breaks my heart. I am enormously grateful to Wael for funding the club but the overall impression since he has been here is just one of drift. We need a board that is competent and ideally where each member really cares about the club Yeah, debt free, brand new training ground, summer transfers that everyone was doing back-flips over ... drift ... ? ? ?

During the height of BLM, I contacted Tom G and suggested that for the annual Kick It Out awareness game, perhaps the top white quarter should be changed to black. He said that the kit designs were already being looked at. Not sure what other think, but I am sure someone could produce a picture of the general idea on here. It would be a simple but clear statement and would have a ready made tag line - Black and White are equal in the Blue half of Bristol. Before anyone says anything, I now our demographic are no where near this, but it is just based on the shirt design, one black quarter and one white and two blue quarters. If it was manufactured as a limited edition one off, I am sure it would sell well, with the profits going to the community Dept to help Bame projects. The Tesco bag design was not very pretty, but sold well because it was so different. This would give good publicity for the club, sponsors and kit manufacturer, as well as possibly introducing new fans. No thanks.

Just as it was completely obvious, despite his claims, that Garner had absolutely nothing to do with the training ground, it's equally obvious that, having been here 8 weeks, this is nothing to do with Joey Barton. And your own question on another thread didn't need answering. It didn't even need asking. Wael said he was committed to the club financially in his statement weeks ago. So who are these "coaches" the club have got feedback from then, given that until JB arrived we were pressing on with a the T shaped clubhouse. I know you think JB's a scouse pr1ck but this has all the hallmarks of him having some influence over the new plans. You're obviously wrong. Can't be bothered to argue with you.

Look at our form over the last calendar year. We haven’t got a hope of winning 3 from 5. I take it you've never watched return of the Jedi? Why? Is that what you're planning for 12.30 on Saturday?
