I must admit that it has come as a bit of shock Jensen leaving and its all very cloak and dagger at the moment but has anyone actually considered that he has gone because he is a shi^e assistant manager. He came from nowhere and say what you want about Kean, but he wasnt his choice and the manager is entitled to work with whoever he trusts and feels comfortable with. Jensen never really inspired any confidence in me and I remember when he was appointed Paul Merson (not the most relaible opinion I know) saying that he didnt even realise Jensen had gone into coaching. As usual with Rovers at the momnent things on the PR side are dreadful but I feel jumping to conclusions and instantly blaming Kean for this is a little naive. My personal opinion is a spanking against City and he will be gone.

I know Barton is a complete and utter numpty but i would take him in a heartbeat. I just have a feeling that were he to join us he would turn both his career and his life around. He wont be the 1st thug or hated player to join us ie Neill, Savage, Diouf etc and generally all have conducted themselves well when at our club. I feel if we can get him on low(ish) wages and for around 2million then its a gamble worth taking.
