Well, you have an opportunity to leave a space on the terraces and in the club's till to register your disgust at not only employing Barton but then not suspending him subject to the outcome of his latest court case for assault. But as previously said, we all have different points at which we draw the line, no doubt there would be a point at which you would find yourself compelled not to attend, it's obviously not been reached yet, and that's what the Woke comment was about, I've reached that point and don't want to cause any offence if that behaviour on my part is somehow offending anybody. That's not fair TWD. When I was banned even my son attended games when people I didn't know never attended during the entire period which I wasn't aware of until they spoke to me at my first game back. I'm a person with strong principles which cause me heartache some times so I fully understand others taking a different course of action which is right for them and their loved ones. I have a feeling that the Dr will cheer as loud as me I me and you when Barton has gone. Don't agree. Both positions are 'fair'. Grant is a grown up and will have considered everything, he'll be comfortable with where he is and will be well aware that the Lady who called the Police is someone's daughter, maybe someone's sister also, and will have considered how he would feel had it have been his daughter or sister (if indeed he has a daughter or sister) that had made that call. Judging by what he's written on here I think his will be the loudest cheer of all the day that Barton goes.

70 pages and the thread title is as relevant today as it was when on Feb 22nd. In fact, more so. P23 W4 D2 L17 F16 A34

The Exeter verdict: Good to get one over such a wrong'un....hopefully goes some way too highlighting his lack of competence. The Club & fans deserve so much more than him.

Can I sponsor the section of the hoardings that he's going to be slumped against, with his arms folded, as his team go down to their next defeat?

P23 W4 D2 L17 F16 A34 Plus a doubling of the ’why appoint someone with a court case hanging over him?’ and ‘there’s doubt to the claim that he’s changed and, if not, we shouldn’t be inviting him in to the club, let alone in a figurehead position, and what’s more, that kind of character doesn’t make for a good leader anyway, as kind of already demonstrated at Fleetwood’ factors. He’s unfit on character and ability grounds - he was then, and all that’s happened since is that he’s proved it (admittedly even more so on the ability front than I expected). Not so much a ‘flawed genius’ as a ‘flawed gobsh1te’.

The "manager" has now won 4 games from 24. (17%). He has lost 17, which is 71%.
He needs to go. He's crap.

I find it bizarre that last season Lee Johnson took Sunderland from outside the playoffs into the playoffs after a great run, and when they lost he faced a barrage of abuse from Mackems outside the ground. Joey took us from outside the relegation zone to rock bottom, and when he met our fans outside the ground it looked like a bit of a jolly. Not condoning the Mackem reaction but the backing we see for Barton is beyond me

The number of people still mesmerised by Barton seems to be falling. 5 goals from 6 games in League 2. Our two 1-0 wins coming at home against teams 22nd and 23rd in the table. We could still challenge though. If you ignore reality.

5 whole goals scored in 6 league games and a mammoth 7 points. Watch out League 1, we're on our way. 🤥
Barton out.

Imagine being played off the pitch by Crawley and stealing 3 of those points. And the MOTM was our GK. Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth must be shaking in their boots.

I get your frustration epping with the position over JB. But we are where we are and in League 2 and I’m sure those teams you’re mentioned won’t be shaking in their boots at any League 2 club, certainly not us. But things are looking a bit better than they did 3 weeks ago and whatever I think about JB my support of BRFC trumps it and I’m very pleased that things look better. Here’s looking forward to a better performance but the same 3 points at Hartlepool. UTG!

Would anyone argue we had a better squad this time last season? Remember losing to Alfreton, and our star striker not scoring in the first 2 months. Then scoring 28 league goals the season later in the level above. My point being we have to give this group time. In September 2015 we lost 2 home games and 3 league matches in a row, yet ended up going up with 85 points.

We can hope 2015 is repeated and you never know, it might, but there are plenty more examples where a team starts poorly and looks 💩 before going on to have a crap season. Games are worth 3 points in August as well as April and a crap start can only hinder a strong finish. In my view the first step at giving ourselves a chance of good season is sacking JB
