Don’t do drugs kids… Might be a refreshing change for him to manage players he wants in a squad he’s balanced and prove beyond any doubt he has the nous to take a team from nowhere to somewhere. He’d certainly get backing by both board and fans and that might sway him to do a job he’d actually enjoy for a while. We might just be a stepping stone in his journey back to the top flight but the longer you’re not in a role the easier it is to forget you. They got more chance with Beatrix Potter.

How are they better off than when he joined? They have a squad with loads of players on their last payday waiting to retire, loans, and only one player that seems to be worth anything at all going by reports. Their wage bill is no doubt the highest they've ever had, and at the end of the season they have to start another seasonal rebuild. They are in a terrible position, and it will be interesting to see their finances when it comes to FFP. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 I love how because their owner supports Chelsea (but has literally no link in any other way), they think that makes them more attractive to ex-Chelsea players/managers. Bizarre. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fordy62 Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Genuinely mixed emotions here. Reading their fans celebrate his wife beating case being thrown out on a technicality and genuinely worshipping a despicable man. His constant blaming refs and throwing players under the bus. His conspiracy theories. His excuses. Joey Barton is a horrible scum bag. But he’s left a great legacy at their place. He’s spent fortunes on an aging squad like they’ve never known. And they’re certainly not better off. My prediction is that Joey will go the way of Le Tiss and Lambert and hit a downward spiral. I can only hope. He certainly deserves it. In many ways I despise Joey more than I do Bristol Rovers. He’s a horrible chap with horrible values - they’re just an unpleasant (and hilarious) football club. Bristol Rovers & Joey Barton 2021-2023. A match made in heaven. Dr Seuss once said, “Don’t be sad that it’s over. Smile that it happened.” 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 9 hours ago, Lrrr said: Warnock finding one last way to wind up Bristol City fans would actually be pretty funny Back in the day there was absolutely no love lost between Warnock and the Blue Few, around the time he managed Notts - Huddersfield - Plymouth. Which is why I've never been able to dislike him that much, despite the so-called "football" some of his teams have played. Hopefully he's still holding that grudge - wouldn't want anyone with his success rate as their new manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eulogised by many for our signings and team staff structure. Had close to a mil to spend but messed it up. Training ground that championship clubs train on. It's certainly as attractive or more attractive than we've ever been. That new "stand" is certainly a deal breaker, I'm sure Pep is considering his future at Man City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rovers & Joey Barton 2021-2023. A match made in heaven. Dr Seuss once said, “Don’t be sad that it’s over. Smile that it happened.” Absolutely spot on , just hope they employ another easily disliked piece of shite ( saying that I don’t think they could match our joey ) one thing that did surprise me with him was that he was never involved in any altercations / incidents with any city fans in and around the city centre ( don’t know if he actually stayed down here or went out in Bristol much ) just think he is the sort of character who would react badly to some jesting on a night out .
