FWIW I meant he knew he wasn’t first choice here and perhaps wanted to keep his inexperienced managers nut down

 He did ?? He (presumably) could have gone to Charlton with Garner instead. I thought they had refused to pay the compensation we wanted. |

He was happy to go Charlton, as originally reported by the south London journos. |

A bit on Charlie Austin here, looks like Rovers didn't want him. https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football/portsmouth-fc/latest-ps4m-former-west-brom-qpr-burnley-and-southampton-marksman-on-move-as-portsmouth-rivals-opt-against-deal-plus-bolton-wanderers-sheff-wed-charlton-news-3970157Bristol Rovers have passed up the chance to sign Charlie Austin.
The veteran front man looks set to move to Swindon Town, after having a period on trial with Joey Barton’s side.
Austin recently left Australian outfit Brisbane Roar, with the former QPR, Burnley, Southampton and West Brom man now close to rejoining the club he moved into the pro ranks with in 2009.
Barton told Bristol Live: ‘We had Charlie Austin in the other day, he came and trained with us. He’s probably made the right call signing for Swindon but we needed to have a look at him to see what he’s about.
‘I played with Chaz, great goalscorer, he’ll do a fantastic job at Swindon. For us, we’ve got a lot of players in that frontline and what I didn’t want to happen was Charlie come back from Australia, sign for Swindon, bag a load of goals and we didn’t get a chance to have a look at him.
‘We’ve had a look at him, not for us, but that’s the area where we’re stacked.’

Take everything Barton says with a pinch of salt, he knows what he’s doing. |

I wouldnt trust Barton as far as I could throw him TBH, a mate who is a Rovers steward said to me they have an abundance of strikers at the club anyway so probably weren't in for him anyway. |

Josh Coburn who's got 8 goals in 14 league games for them. |

He really has no man management skills in a nutshell. You don’t really need to be ITK to figure that out though do you.
Not at all. |

Some of his quotes I read about the Cowley brothers and their style... Bugger me he has a high opinion of himself. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joey-bartons-brutal-portsmouth-prediction-7988654"History will prove me correct on that as it normally does. I didn’t expect the Pompey fans and the Pompey newspaper to write a report they did which said they live in a world where Joey Barton is right. I’m like ‘I’m always right, it just takes a bit of time to get there, especially when it comes to football’
Maybe it was tongue in cheek...maybe |
