Apparently their attendances will go up again now because of people who refused to go to games until he left. 
 

I thought they sold out every game home and away and desperately needed a new stadium? How they gonna fit all the outliers back in? I can’t keep up. 

Hopefully it'll be like when Garner came back to the Mem after he went to Swindon, the meltdown at the end of the game was outstanding.

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.

Barton was a great fan of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, but which of these quotes best describes the ex-Rovers Manager?

  • To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. ...
  • He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. ...
  • Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. ...
  • That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

From the equally great fillossofer bcfc01

He who lives by the word, dies by the word

Which is apt for the thug.

There are numerous suggestions about who might be the next Rovers manager, but no suggestions as to where Joey might go. There can only be a few clubs that match his ability - Wormwood Srubs  Wanderers, Dartmoor Dashers, Broadmoor Bashers etc 

Alcatraz Athletic are in the market for a new manager it seems. USA could be an option.

Something along the lines of 'it's all you're fault you bald ****' wasn't it? 😂

Reminds me of the following lyrics to one of my all-time favourite songs, mate.... Not 'alf!

Alcatraz is like a home sweet home
I'm so wanted and I'm never alone
San Quentin is the place to be
I'm so happy I don't wanna be free
So happy I don't wanna be free
So happy I don't wanna be free
So happy I don't wanna be free
Yeah

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 ?

Just catching up on this now. To save me reading back pages and pages have they given a reason or is it the old mutual consent line?

No he was definitely sacked. Very short statement too, only him gone…. suggests there’s been a bit blow up of sorts.

Just seen Wael's shortlist.

  • 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.

But as Abu Hamza al-Masri (Captain Hook) already appears on their crest, my money is on him.

Josef Fritzl has previously specialised in the basement.

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.

I just hope it ain’t Cotts (although would always want to see him in work….just not there!) 

Working (and soon be living) in Colchester now, and apparently the he's quite high up on the wanted list there.

Know where I'd go if I had my choice...

How about Jaily Barton to QPR? Perhaps this is why he was trying to get sacked?

Ainsworth must be on his way out soon?

As far as the webtooed brigade is concerned, I hope they get someone in that will be another Gift that keeps on giving.

Less than a mile between them!!!

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.

Just shows his mouth and attitude, draws more attention than his managerial ability.

I would think the ultimate Manager to present post match interviews for the sags, would be Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, their very own Comical Ali.

Having a Gas on Rb, incredible. You’d think he’d died and had led them to 5 straight back to back promotions the way the fans and Radio Bristol are discussing him. 
 

Nathan Jones they want, but not Gary Rowett as that isn’t realistic…… 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And a quick reminder if it wasn't for pure corruption he wouldn't even got them promoted..

Just incredible levels of delusion.  

What about this cracker…

If Wael was still the sole hand at the helm then an ex-Chelsea name like John Terry, Frank Lampard or even Graham Potter might actually have had some legs. Although in a job with a Saudi first division club Robbie Fowler has always wanted to manage in England and might well apply again. However, if that list of managers odds is representative of the quality of candidates we can expect there’s going to be a lot of crap football played at the Mem in the coming months!

Mid afternoon when I looked he wasn't mentioned anywhere 

Though he was trending highly on "X"

Probably like our phone ins, only a small handful can be bothered to call in 

Everyone else is out celebrating

Don't forget, they are apparently 'still getting used to their new found wealth'* so shouldn't be going cheap on their next manager.

Pep will be getting a call I expect.

(* Source - Gaschat)

Maybe provided the necessary funds to finally pay him off 

Especially as the Rovers statement didn't mention the usual "mutual consent" nonsense

Tell me they were joking.

Although, thinking about it, a visit to the Mem would probably swing it in Rovers favour.

Oh no, he’s still going. 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.

That goodbye message actually reads quite well. There seems to be no bad feeling in there so maybe he wants to go.

I don't agree with the bit where he says the club is in an amazing position. It reminds me of those old photos of men having lunch sat on steel frames of sky scrapers in 1930s New York - they were in an amazing position too but no one else would want to be them!

There is a parallel here with the steel beams of their new stand, so maybe that is what he meant after all.

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? 

Who’s next for the family club? Job for LJ?! 

Serious question, but has Chris Martin done his coaching badges?
