This is the interesting bit of that statement for me as insinuates that they didn't know about this as late as last week.. Furthermore, before we were aware of this issue we agreed last week to support a Domestic Violence campaign which we will continue to do heading into the new season. If, by not telling the Club of the impending issue (which appears to be the case according to the statement), he has breached his contract with the Club they should be able to push him out the door. His not advising them is nothing to do with the incident or the case itself?

I joked in a previous post about Joey going for a hat trick before his trial in December. However given his previous history, you've really got to worry if he carries on in charge that he is going to get provoked by opposition fans and possibly players/staff. I really think suspension is the only option right now. Agreed but who knows what is in his contract?

Terrible statement from the club. The only reason it is an alleged victimless crime is because nobody reported the alleged assault, other than the police. The judicial process will determine whether JB is guilty or not of this and the other offence. In light of the ongoing processes, JB should, in my opinion, be placed on gardening leave for the sake of the club until the outcome of the cases are known. Gardening leave is for someone who has resigned and working their notice. He needs to be suspended.

That is unbelievable; they are basically defending him by quoting one small piece from the prosecution statement. Not an apologist for JB or the club but the prosecutor said that? What am I missing here? You are missing everything except what the Club have deemed OK for our ears.

No statement since yesterday? Please point me in the right direction if there is.
If he told them in early June he now needs to be suspended.
If he didn't he must go out the door now; through that same one he never should have entered.
What has changed since yesterday though? I would assume that B***** would have informed the Board of the allegations which were being made, so no surprises for them in Court today. Obviously, if he wasn't honest with them, I would think they are able to take action regarding his tenure. The Club has had chance to take careful advice on the extent of action they can take.
To do nothing is the worst decision they can make.

The club's silence means they are likely to do nothing until December. We could go down at this rate. No statement since yesterday? Please point me in the right direction if there is.

I'd like to cite "I told you so" is that one OK? Haha, I know it's tempting. But I'm calling instead for praising Gasheads who change their mind in light of these new (and I feel more serious) charges. Whilst agreeing with your sentiment, praising and being happy for the converted...

Well, The Sun and The Bristol Post both report B***** as bailed and charged with assaulting his wife, for which he is due in court, so while there are no Rovers matches being played about which I might demonstrate unacceptable opinions, I will resume participation on Gas Guzzler, without the permission of Trymer, Faustus, and their fans. Who would like to be the first to cite innocent until proven guitly, or Rovers rehabilitation? Never mind, as all publicity is good publicity, I'm told. And just think how many Twitter followers we might get now! Whoopee-do. Joey B***** is unfit to manage Bristol Rovers. I'd like to cite "I told you so" is that one OK?

If he we're suspended, the least that should happen imo, then expect the LMA to get involved, would they actually stand up for him(favourably)? If he didn't tell the Club back at the beginning of June he should be out of the door he never should have entered.

I have one comment to make which I never make; "I told you so!".

The bloke's got a court case coming up in June so he's not likely to blow his chances of getting a good behaviour reference from us. He has more sides to him than a Rubik's cube, but he seems to have great motivating skills and the ability to empower players by giving them his full support. When a manager doesn't believe in players there's only one way it'll go. Westbrooke is a fine attacking midfielder and not a defensive midfielder. Good to see him at the level he was during his first months here. He linked up well with Rodman yesterday. I've always said we brought some good players in this season but they need someone who's on board with them. B***** has the right approach imo. Has anyone suggested otherwise?
Having said that he still shouldn't be the Manager of Bristol Rovers Football Club.

... It's such a shame I'm writing this on a Bristol Rovers forum. Many of you think I'm a idiot for taking this position, according to your insults above. Good riddance, you may say. But the feeling is not mutual. I don't want rid of you at all. I cannot support Joey B*****'s Rovers, but I don't criticise you for doing so. I look forward to the day we have a board and most importantly a manager, whether successful or failing, whom we can all support without holding our nose... This is the sad part, the fact that many of the B***** supporters can't accept others may have a different opinion and hurl insults at them. Before the appointment I was reading things like: "People should be ashamed of themselves if they email the club saying they don't want B*****." ... Hmm! The shame! < scratches head >. Then, as you say, the insults such as good riddance, as if you are no longer welcome as a supporter just because you don't agree with the appointment of the manager. ... I don't want B*****, but it doesn't stop me supporting the team. Then, after the victory last night, the goading with comments such as: "Where are all the snowflakes now then?" ... So, just because you don't agree with appointing a manger, because of his violent actions and personal attributes to date, it makes you a snowflake. Okay then. BTW 'snowflake' has to be the s***tiest new putdown, following on from the equally pathetic 'grow a pair' and 'man up'. They have no defence so...
I wonder if their thinking is "the best form of defence is attack"?

If B***** is shrewd, he won't rant and rave at a new team he doesn't really know. They don't know him either. If he tears them off a strip now (Martin Dobson / Dave Penney style?), he'll lose them before he even starts. He needs to look them in the eye and calmly ask - how much do you really want this? How much does this mean to you? What is stopping you succeeding? Yes - it's like therapy. As gashead Stuart just said on Radio Bristol, this is about mentality as much as talent. We're clearly devoid of confidence and the way to build that isn't to destroy it yet further. We're nervous, desperate in front of goal and it's agonising to watch. We have some talented individual players. We just don't have a team. Can B***** prove to be the magician Tisdale wasn't? From what I've seen B***** "supporters" write they are going to be very disappointed. All I’ve heard is how he is going to “kick the players' asses”.

He is incredibly populist and knows exactly what to say.
There are many that will fall for this energy and allow themselves to avoid the background they do not (perhaps they maybe do?) want to see.

But TW is the boss. He stands over any manager/coach that comes in with his Director Of Football role and a seat in the boardroom making executive decisions. He has already made that clear to this group of players and that is why Wael should tell him to do the job until the end of the season when Wael needs to make a serious decision. TW not a Director.
He is on Website but not on Companies House.

Rovers have had some naughty boys playing for us in the past.We can perhaps come up with quite a list. Are 'we' not going to town a wee bit on JB? Not sure I understood one post,but I think JB was called a "Nazi",although maybe I've misunderstood. Anger Management Course might be a good place for Joey to start.A word with Ollie might help. Working with TW, accepting our coaching system and staff could be the biggest challenge for our new Manager. Maybe TW will need reminding he is'nt the Boss. But TW is the boss. He stands over any manager/coach that comes in with his Director Of Football role and a seat in the boardroom making executive decisions.

I wish Hollowhead would f*ck off somewhere far away and take his destabilising, unwanted opinions with him. He makes some fair and very obvious points. Having a DOF is going to limit the managers who will come here and even more so when you consider that our DOF is very opinionated and probably not very easy to get on with as well as not shy to throw the manager under the bus in the press, never mind the accusations of team rigging by Holloway. “DOF watch” is going to be very interesting going forward, especially if a combustible character like B***** comes in (who had his mate as DOF at Fleetwood). There will be a failing out at some point, guaranteed.

He also has inside knowledge it's just that some of us don't want to hear it so find it easier to blame the messenger. It appears that it was Wael who appointed Tisdale. In due course he would produce the football and structure that BRFC are looking for.
Seems that others may not have agreed?
