    Might have to have a flutter on Fleetwood next season, i'm sure the gaffer will!

    Interesting

    I can see Barton either being a great success or a disaster. He can be very interesting when he talks about football, but can also be "problematic"

    Imagine there were similar raised eyebrows when Bowyer got the job but he's done ok hasn't he?

    Difference is Bowyer has been Assistant all season.

    Barton is still serving his 13 month ban from Football

    I was surprised at how little a reaction there was to Bowyer’s appointment but Barton and Bowyer aren’t even in the same league.

    Well you could say the same for even getting the assistant job in the first place - my point being you can't necessarily judge how a former player will be as a coach/manager based off external issues outside the game.

    Edit - also having issues/dodginess outside the game hasn't stopped the likes of big Sam getting a premiership job has it so should we really be all that surprised!

    I wonder what odds he got for being the next Fleetwood manager?

    I’m fairly sure he went there for a few months on trial a few seasons ago. I believe he knows somebody there was just helping out.

    Didn’t realise he was a West Brom fan

    100% this
  • Get the cigars out.
  • Sol Campbell must be fuming

    Thought exactly the same thing when i heard the news.

    Whilst i completely get that Sol Campbell is a dickhead and his self-righteousness will rule him out of a lot of jobs, i can't for the life of me work out why anyone would think Barton would be a decent managerial appointment.

    I work with a Fleetwood fan. Proper fan follows them home and away. He was fuming yesterday when we found out. Everyone was taking the piss.

    Seems to be doing a good job with Fleetwood in 10th.

    Lost at Southend today but that was a very important result for SCP.
