Is this real? B***** in touch with 'his' Rovers players, undermining Taylor, hastening Rovers' failure? Much as I can't stand him, I'm not sure about this. Why else are we failing so miserably... just like we did under Barton when he first took over. It is more than coincidence.

Your a joker, right? How has that got anything to do with B***** that a fool threw a tea over someone 5 months or so after JB left? Get a grip. Because B***** took over and infected the whole club with his loutishness which is still present. We know what he thinks of Matt Taylor, we know he is still in touch with most of the Rovers players, we know he has absolutely no self control and to me it seems highly likely that he’s deliberately undermining our club and would take great delight in seeing Rovers fail. The next act in the Whitehall farce will see B***** and Wael playing the goodies with Matt Taylor and the Al- Saeeds playing the baddies. Tom Gorringe will take on the role of Brian Rix and drop his trousers at every opportunity much to the delight of our Head of HR. I'm sorry but where is the proof about anything that you suggest? How do you know he is still on contact and has any influence on our current side? You are talking hot air.. As for the current state of affairs ,then I would take JB over MT.This is based on rebuilding a side after the 2021 regulation compared to what MT has done. However, I've supported JB in most things gas,along with some on X/Twitter post him leaving due to the woke brigade.But I didn't like, or feel the need for his comments towards MT today.

However, I've supported JB in most things gas,along with some on X/Twitter post him leaving due to the woke brigade.But I didn't like, or feel the need for his comments towards MT today. When Barton talked about the 8 witnesses he could call to refute Jamie Hedges allegation do you really think he’d have contacted them and said “ Hi Sam, Hi Antony, Hi Luke . . . remember me, I used to be your manager” ? The man is so vindictive it’s nailed on that he’s been taking every opportunity to stir things up in the background. I believe he’s even boasted about being ready to make some disparaging remarks about our majority owners once he’s paid up in January 2025. You say you’d take JB over MT based on rebuilding the side after the 2021 relegation but think about that a bit deeper. Barton was given a League 1 budget in League 2, Rovers total spend was twice as much as Forest Green and Exeter but we just about managed to scrape into third place behind them. If you are comparing managerial performance for 21/22 I’d say Rob Edwards and Matt Taylor were far superior to Barton. And then we moved on to 22/23 with Barton given an even bigger budget and once again underperforming terribly with a 17th place finish. It was no surprise because he’d done the same at Fleetwood and nearly bankrupted them. Rovers losses for 22/23 are reported to be in the region of 5 million and Barton’s reckless spending couldn’t be allowed to continue so he had to go. But his rants over the past few days show he’s still seething about that and may even think he can exert some influence over what happens at Rovers in the near future.

An old arab proverb says its better to have a thousand enemies outside the tent than one inside. In Rovers case there are three undermining the club and present mananger, one is orchestrating everything the other two are divisive and weak followers.The Al Saeeds must be aware of this and back their man with a complete spring clear out from top to bottom at the club.

Don’t be coy - name some names! Let me guess - Wael and our talented young MD are the followers. But who is the leader of the resistance - Charles de Gaulle? The Scouse Mafia are hors de combat, non? Who does that leave?

Perhaps the overdue year end 2023 accounts will give us all a better clue.

Whether he’s in touch with the players or not, his comments on MT, effectively his successor, must make him in breach of his contract. No manager can go around saying that when he’s being paid by the club he’s criticising. So surely we can stop paying him his salary which we are meant to be still doing. Every little helps! (Money that is.) UTG!

I couldn't agree with you more, the man has done enough already to breach his existing contract and any half decent lawyer could get shot of him in the flick of a light switch. The problem is he is one part of a mutual admiration society and if that one part isn't strong enough to protect its own commercial interests then the maverick unstable attacks on present employees and former staff will continue until the end of January 2025. In fact it will probably get worse.

Dictatorship or what! A unanimous decision was taken to remove the name from any messages on the Forum. Dictatorship by committee. Surely that's an oxymoron? Anyway, we looked at profanities and insults to auto-correct the name, but a simple B***** was agreed upon. Hopefully over time people will forget his association with a once proud Football Club. 5 months on and the name still gets mentioned. A bit like the smell of canine excrement on the sole of your shoe. An unpleasant stench you can't seem to get rid of.

When will all this end? Will there be more to come out in public? Will others spill beans, or prefer a quiet life and just move on?
- Clint Hill left in a hurry. - Kevin Bond mysteriously left, then just as mysteriously re-appeared as soon as JB left the building. - Westbrooke sent to train away from the first team? There were others I think. - Players called out in public: Thomas (twice); Collins; Belshaw; Clarke; Rodman (any others?) - makes you wonder what else went on behind closed doors.

Cant keep sacking managers every few months surely ? expensive in compensation for a start.
People saying that Taylor should be allowed to bring his own players in the summer, but if he is sacked before the season ends someone else will come in with Taylors players...then they have to be given a summer to build their team.....where does it stop ?
In the last 5 years people didnt like GC so called for his head then it was "Garner out", "Tisdale out" "Barton out" now its "Taylor out" then it will be "next bloke out" "bloke after him out out" who would want to apply for a job where they can see that people will be baying for them to be sacked within months ?...someone who cant get another job probably.

And something else a bit strange... JB saying: "He's a fantasist who was Tommy Widds spy in our camp." JH saying: ""Joey came in and for the first week or two, Tommy was in the training ground every day..." ... ""It was after we lost to Wigan 2-1 in midweek, and then we came in on the Thursday." ... ""I was in every day at that point as well and, to be fair, I don’t remember speaking to Joey for the first few weeks." - JB was appointed Monday 22/02/2021. - Rovers 1 Wigan 2 next day on Tuesday 23/02/2021. Which means... a) The timeline doesn't match up, as the Wigan game was the day after JB's appointment, so he couldn't have been here for a few weeks - unless JH has got the wrong game. b) Either way, JH says the incident happened the Thursday after a mid-week game, and the first day after TW wasn't around, so he would have been 'spy in the camp' for 1 whole day.

A Rovers and Spurs fan wrote a Twitter thread about Rovers, to receive Joseph Anthony Barton's unpleasant response.

Point 1 Well, JB admitted himself that we were fortunate to sign Elliot Anderson. Some team like Luton pulled out of signing Elliot on loan at the eleventh hour, and we'd missed out on the strikers we were after in the January window. Newcastle were desperate that Elliot went somewhere on loan to get game time, and there was Bristol Rovers, with 5 minutes to go, needing to make some sort of signing. Although Rovers ended up achieving automatic promotion, we were only inside the play-off positions by 4 points. I believe that Elliot Anderson (that fortunate signing) gained us more than 4 points during his time with us.
