He’ll think he’s the man to get us back into league one There's nothing whatsoever that gives credibility to that. He inherited a club on the crest of promotion, took the credit for that promotion, then slowly but surely, at great expense and wasting the only security that we have, namely equity in the stadium, has taken us backwards to the point where the team that beat Daggers on that wonderful warm afternoon would absolutely destroy this pitiful excuse for a squad that he's responsible for. Look at the match day squads for that Daggers game and Friday's squad, tell me which players from Friday would displace a player from the team that won that final game of the season? Friday, Jaakkola 43Williams 26Baldwin 24Tutonda 28Walker 6Upson 37Martinez 14McCormick 3Leahy 9Hanlan 21Ayunga Substitutes 2Little 8Westbrooke 13Day 17Daly 22Hare 39Barrett 41Oztumer Daggers, 1Mildenhall 2Leadbitter 4Lockyer 5McChrystal 3Brown 23Bodin 14Lines 7Mansell 21Montaño 10Taylor 30Gaffney Substitutes 6Parkes 8O Clarke 9Harrison 11Gosling 17Easter 25Puddy 29McBurnie That still won’t stop him thinking it though. He won’t have a plan, just him, some mates and a wing and a prayer. Who would have thought that day when we sang “Bristol City, we’re coming for you!” that the only thing we would be coming for is relegation back to league 2, having spent 20 million and not even mustered a serious promotion challenge. To put the cherry on the cake, if you would have told the Barton In crew on that fateful day that it wouldn’t be DC, it would be Joey Barton leading our charge back into league 2 they would have been absolutely horrified. We’ve almost gone beyond being Bristol Rovers into some kind of awful parody of a badly run club, portrayed in a really OTT sit-com about a s*** football team and it’s David Brent like owner. |

I know it's difficult to cut JAB some slack, but in the 5 defeats in a row, there have been poor decisions by individuals and officials that have led to unwarranted results.....in essence, we haven't generally played poorer than our 5 opponents, we've lost but not been beaten (if you can distinguish between the two) and that's the frustrating part. Officials at this level are a complete joke, often so unfit that they literally couldn't complete even a half marathon, you see them struggling around the pitch, gasping for breath, and anybody who has trained or taken part in that type of sport knows that when the body has oxygen deficiency decision making is adversely affected. So what's the point, is Punchy seriously claiming that there's a conspiracy against us? As for referencing the goalkeeper sending off, Day was sent off in the 93rd minute with us already losing, we had thrown away a 2-0 lead, that game was well and truly lost already. One of the reasons a lot of these players will be in the 3rd tier rather than the 2nd is consistency, they make a series of good decisions followed by some that aren't so good, players that make mostly correct decision will find clubs from a higher level taking an interest in them, so Rovers are far from unique in having issues in that regard. Bottom line, under Barton we've got worse. 7 games to sort it out. Wael has to leave if we get relegated, he has virtually no credibility today, if after all of his fine words and the stupid sums of money lost we end up playing Barrow and Salford he'll be left looking a complete fool and nobody being honest about his tenure would be able to say that he should be trusted with the future of the club. There are plenty who still think he is Mr Bristol Rovers and can do no wrong, nice bloke comments aside , he has been the architect of all of this and he was basically handed a club , or team, on the up. Bloody dreadful decision making and hard to believe such a well educated man could oversee this crap |

Barrow,Salford,Harrogate,Sutton,Crawley.Will be like being back in the Conference. I believe that is a distinct possibility and we could be back there. Barton had no credentials of being a successful manager let alone one to rebuild a club that I broken. If he thinks refs in this league are bad then he’s in for a treat at L2. God help us |

Nice guy he might be but Wael displays all the hallmarks of being a trustafarian child. The lap of privilege has spared him from an unremarkable life. |

Crawley on a Tuesday night in the depths of winter is a sobering experience I was at Alfreton on a cold Tuesday night in November watching Rovers huff and puff their way to a 0-0 in front of less than a thousand fans. That remains the nadir of my time supporting Rovers, I'm hoping it remains so, |

Let's be crystal clear about this, the opportunity that landed in Wael's lap doesn't come along too often, some clubs wait decades for that inertia and marketing window, Wael has not only wasted it he's blown the thick end of TWENTY MILLION POUNDS over 5 years to put us in a much worse place than when he first arrived. |

Completely preposterous last paragraph. Can't agree with that. Who will replace Wael? Agree with first paragraph. There is a level of inconsistency in officials judgement that has affected our play this season....as to whether we are being picked on or not I tend to shy away from that. Wimbledon could have claimed a penalty, it looked contentious....we could have claimed a penalty v Sunderland, i saw that less contentious. We can't keep expecting officials to bail us out of poor finishing and poor defensive errors, but they do play a part, lesser or greater, in our demise. I think your comparable point regarding Day sending off is very good. Don't agree with your bottom line, if you've watched all matches this season, we've been easily rolled under BG and PT quite regularly with no real retort..... under JAB our wins draws losses stats are worse, but I took your post to mean our performances.....in that, I've seen a big improvement. Every match we've lost, (Hull City apart), we've done enough to get something out of the game and haven't deserved a defeat. We haven't got worse on our performances and set up, we've got worse in our points accumulation. Which still isn't good enough..... it's awful.....but there's hope that performances will turn into results? |

How you achieve 1 or 3 points is irrelevant in terms of comparing points per game across the 3 managers we've had this season. Barton has the worse record. It's entirely possible that even the hapless and woefully out of his depth Garner could have achieved more in terms of defence and approach play by sacrificing our meagre ability to win or draw games, but that's not the objective, it's about first and foremost in this division getting more points than 4 other clubs, then looking upwards towards the top 6. Barton has failed so far. 7 games left to sort it out. He talks as if he understands the problem, we'll see. |

"Barton has the worse record" Yep, this season. Much like BG was after his first 11 matches, JAB has accrued more points (7) as opposed to (4) by BG? Woefully inept was allowed to continue into this season..... that's hardly JAB fault, it might be Wael's....but it goes back to question, whom to replace if Wael is the naughty bad boy grime yo! hoodie! yardie bro innit villain you're suggesting in all this? |

It's a great question, and one that with the decision making Wael has been involved in shows how perilous our position is. The person who has taken the club from buoyant to the point of farce is the same person who will chose who, one day, to hand over control to. My best guess is that he's already looking for a way out, but on his terms, and those terms won't be acceptable to anybody smart enough to have accrued the amount of money required to do the deal. For the record, Barton is responsible for his own conduct, Wael is responsible for him being at Rovers. |

But I cannot see a credible replacement for either atm..... that's just being honest.....but if there was a credible alternative on Feb 22nd as a manager or owner I would love to consider it because our decline over 15 months is visceral for all to see, but only one to affect. |

Crawley on a Tuesday night in the depths of winter is a sobering experience I was at Alfreton on a cold Tuesday night in November watching Rovers huff and puff their way to a 0-0 in front of less than a thousand fans. That remains the nadir of my time supporting Rovers, I'm hoping it remains so, Jesus, I hope you lived locally  What angers me most about all this is what D.C. did for this club when it was on it’s knees. It was all down to him that we came back from the conference stronger than when we got relegated. Wael took over, saw off D.C., eventually replaced him with Joey ****ing Barton and is now taking us back where we came from and given the state of the club going back to the days you mention is a very real danger. |

This is not unusual because I’m sure many of us have been faced with a similar dangerous situation at some time or other I know I have. The difference is that most of us get to a point where we accept reality and take steps to extricate ourselves. We don’t plough on regardless knowing the endgame will be misery and humiliation for ourselves, our family and a lot of other genuine people who have put their faith in us. The problem for Rovers is that the financial position is, IMO, now irretrievable without a formal restructuring. In other words, the financial commitments which have been made are so great that no one would buy the club with those still hanging over it because for them it would be like starting again with both hands tied behind their back. So if a restructuring takes place the biggest question will be over the stadium charge. Will a new owner pay 10 million for the stadium ? Or will Wael waive the charge for the good of the club and accept a more realistic figure based on its worth as a football ground ? If that issue can be resolved the next questions are; Will a new owner want to rent the existing training ground from Wael or will he prefer a better and lower cost option elsewhere ? Will a new owner contemplate allowing Wael to stay on board in some capacity ? |
