I'm sure there will be usual 'we've got our Rovers back', ignoring the woman beater they signed and the faithful to Joey mob giving them grief. Never ever get tired of watching this.

The Gasbuster Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) I would not be surprised if they brought Hollowank back again, for a last "hurrah" ! Out of work, so no compensation, "one of their own", "sag legend", annoying, embarrassing, tosser, bald, clown, full of shit, failure etc.. What could possibly go wrong ?

Josef Fritzl Anjem Choudary Kenneth Noye Abu Hamza al-Masri Mark Ashton Ashton appears to be the only one that isn't currently incarcerated, so he must be the favourite.

One Team Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 A bit of a surprise given he was allowed to make signings recently. As some have said here perhaps a bust up behind the scenes?

Bristol Rovers Football Club can confirm that today the club has relieved First Team Manager Joey Barton of his duties. Everyone at the club would like to thank Joey for all his efforts and wish him well in the future. In the interim, Andy Mangan will lead the team supported by Glenn Whelan, Danny Ventre and Anssi Jaakkola who will remain in post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) I for one am disappointed.

Perhaps this is why he was trying to get sacked? Ainsworth must be on his way out soon?

Open End Numb Legs Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 I had to dig down into the lower end of the football stories on the BBC sports page to find a mention of it. It seems not to be a story worthy of much attention. Am I right in thinking he had surrounded himself with mates there? If so this could run on a bit yet. To save money perhaps Rovers will wait for them to move on voluntarily, perhaps rejoining their leader when he gets a new job? It will be interesting to see how their form goes. You would think it would naturally improve without him there but if the regime is essentially the same and the coaches don't see a future there, we could see a further slide.
