Steve Phillips wading in on B***** on Twitter. Good on him. Better than Holloway telling us he’s going to be a success because he went fishing with him once Any chance of quoting Flapper for those of us who don't do Twitter please?

Thanks Chesh. Yea, that sure aged well for you B*****. Just remind us whose team gave you a football lesson last Saturday despite them having no squad at the end of last season and the club being bankrupt, again?

A football manager goes into a room with his DOF/Agent/Minder* delete as appropriate, and asks the owner if he doesn't think that he can do the job.
Owner caught off guard by the sudden intrusion declares his undying affection for the manager in a process taking 60 second.
Manager reveals to the football world that he offered to walk away without compensation but the owner is deeply in love and they want to make the relationship work.

Oh dear, did that actually happen ? It sounds very plausible. Eight months ago we were speculating about de jure and de facto control of Rovers and whether Wael, Martyn, Tom and Karim would have much chance of standing up to B***** and a gang of "heavies". Let's hope the next conversation isn't about "I've got a very wealthy friend who wants to buy a football club and he'd love to have you hang around to help him"

Interesting scenario (real or not). That would explain the lack of input from the rest of the Board in the unfathomable decision to retain B*****. The only positive I can take from this latest episode is that B***** himself said "he will happily walk away". Let's hope that that's an open ended offer and there is still a hope he will be gone soon. Fingers crossed Wael has had a chance to discuss with the senior management team. Or that Wael has finally come to his senses. Or that Wael has woken up from his self-induced nightmare. (Delete as appropriate). Nothing gets better - on or off the pitch - until we are relieved of B*****. Nothing.

Just watched the interview with Wael on playback. I wonder if Joey or Chris MBE wrote his script?
Hes happy. He’s not happy. They’re working hard. It’s not their fault. They’re changing nothing because they, um, are happy.
I’m not happy. But I am happy that he’s had none of my money since February.

(Joey critical of fans wanting him out, Waels “you’re lucky you’ve got me” attitude). Once Joey and his super fan head down that route, there’s no turning back.

There’re is always a danger of assuming that what is written on a forum is the overall opinion of a majority of supporters.
Now dispassionately what percentage of all Rovers supporters actually supports Joey as our manager?

Now dispassionately what percentage of all Rovers supporters actually supports Joey as our manager? There’s several groups within that 1.Those that never wanted him, and stopped attending games 5%? 2. Those that didn’t want him, don’t want him now but decided to see how it went anyway 20%? 3. Those that felt his position was untenable after relegation 10%? 4. Those that couldn’t support him after his latest brush with the law 20%? 5. Those that want him gone because of performances this season 20%? 6. Those that are apathetic and disillusioned but don’t see what alternative we have 20% 7. Hardcore support for B***** - Wael, and less than 5%?

I would say around 5-10% actively support B***** as our manager. Interesting that quite a few at the other place are considering (or have already) boycotting the Club. A low attendance and another disappointing result against Carlisle could see the end of B*****. So - boycott the Carlisle game. Give your gate money to charity. Show Wael Al-Qadi what the vast majority of Gasheads think about B***** as manager. A boycott is the only meaningful protest.

Had a look at the Facebook page yesterday, he still seems to have a reasonable amount of support there - maybe a younger demographic?

Thanks, I don't have any social media... so you could well be right. Would you put overall support up nearer 20-25%? If there is decent support for B***** from the younger demographic, then I despair for the future of the Football Club. I don't recognise the Club any more.

I think its really hard to judge the overall view of the fanbase (other than everyone is p*ssed off). People don't like B***** because of his character traits (me included) But can that be separated from the football arguement? Is that even possible? (i.e take the emotion out of it) As far as I can see, once JB was appointed, and once the club refrained from suspending him after the latest episode, the only way they will sack him will be based purely on performance. The performance this season is poor, but to allow a manager to re build the entire squad and then sack him so soon and whilst suffering quite a few injuries to key players, some people would say that was mad, especially after doing exactly that 12 months ago and seeing where it got us. Anyone remember the game at the Mem when all four sides of the ground chanted in unison 'We want Graydon Out'? Something I had never seen in all my years watching Rovers. I don't think we are close to that point yet

If there is decent support for B***** from the younger demographic, then I despair for the future of the Football Club. I don't recognise the Club any more. It depends on the younger demographic. My son is primary school age. I brought him up a gashead but he’s asked me not to take him again. No big deal for me as I haven’t been since Feb but he’ll never be interested in them again Supporting Joey B*****’s Bristol Rovers is a personal choice. I hope those who do continue to enjoy what they’re watching

I don't think we are close to that point yet Hard to make a direct comparison as I'm not aware of people taking a moral stand and boycotting matches whilst Graydon was manager. If those who are staying away were to attend I suspect that there would be a fair bit of hostility directed towards both B***** and the people responsible for bringing him to the club.

Not all of us attending are happy that B***** is manager and doubtful that anyone is enjoying the "football" just now.
Anyway, as you were.
B***** out. UTG.

Apologies, I put my point across entirely the wrong way. It was intended to be aimed at those referred to in a previous post ie. in the Facebook group who still actively support B***** and believe he’s right for the club. It was not meant as a dig at fellow Gasheads who attend matches and support the team, those who I have nothing but respect for. Utg
