The gamble is sacking him now with all the associated costs of replacing him, or hoping that the position is recoverable by the time he gets sent down for one of his many crimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 It took the chairman, about the same time to suss the last one couldnt win a game. If they are in the bottom 3 end of the month, i think his hand maybe forced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got to be that hasn't it? Several hundred k in compensation to sack him now or zero when he returns to his regular holiday home at Her Majesty's Pleasure. They're not exactly awash with cash so Wael is going to wait and let the new manager have that money to spend in the January window rather than giving it to Norman Stanley to buy more snout. Of course he could be found innocent of both charges; and then he would have to be sacked. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Clarke left in 2019, including Caretakers, they have had 8 managers ; Graham Coughlan Dec 2018 - Dec 2019 Joe Dunne (Caretaker) Kevin Maher (Caretaker) Ben Garner. Dec 2019 - Nov 2020 Tommy Widdrington (Caretaker) Paul Tisdale. Nov 2020-Feb 21 Tommy Widdrington (Caretaker) Joey Barton That could mean, if they haven't paid them up, that they could have 3 managers on the wage bill before they sack Barton. They've also let him sign about 15 players (?), so can they afford to think about a change ? I would expect him to get some time to turn it around, which could see them adrift, but I just don't see how they can afford to start again. Barton wouldn't have come without some security, his contract is until 2023 so how many will they end up paying for? Coughlan was on a 2 1/2 year deal so that one is probably up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Roll up! Roll up! Come see the latest hilarious excuse for shite attendances. The 2,000 odd at Tokyo World don’t you know. Poor, poor victims to circumstance yet again. mftc First Team about an hour ago Quote In the scheme of things, this is no buggy, but we all know when the balloon fiesta is on City don't play home games. Tokyo World may only be 2,000 attendance but if affects traffic and I am sure I saw one Rovers shirt apparently decide to follow the girls and go there instead of the game. He may have been wearing the shirt to go to the festival but seems a strange thing to wear. My guess he was persuaded by seeing more attractive sights than Pittman. I wouldn't have been surprised if quite a few decided to go to the festival rather than the game. Would a more professional sic club have looked to change fixtures and played away? I seem to remember Peterborough changing the ko time/ date when we played them for a similar or perhaps even smaller festival. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers won’t sack him , firstly because they can’t afford to and secondly if found guilty of either court case then I’m sure rovers would look to sack with no compensation due. Secondly Barton isn’t going to walk, he must know if he’s found guilty of either offence he’s unlikely to get another management job in this country, plus he’s likely to have relatively large legal bills.

How ‘loyal’ They’ll think of any old shit excuse to try and hide the fact their support is rubbish. Utterly pathetic.

Lanterne Rouge Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 So, what the belter is saying is, that absolutely nothing should happen in the Greater Bristol area when the fewers are playing. All the shops should be closed, all events cancelled and the roads cleared by the police to allow them through. They`d still only get 6k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
