Christ. Hope Fleetwood’s bookshops are well stocked with books full of cliched philosophical musings.

I hope the people of Fleetwood can understand his strong French accent.

That's a WOW appointment.

As in 'WOW - whatever made them think THAT was a good idea?"

Opinion divided somewhat...

I don’t get it at all. I wouldn’t have minded John Sheridan at Oxford. W 5 D3 L2....kept them up. Thought they would’ve have rewarded him with a contract

Agree. Sheridan did a good job.
Barton is a big risk.

Baffled and bemused.

Who cares?

Who cares?

The 43 fans they managed to rustle up to come here last week

From everything I've read Sheridan never intended to stay with them beyond the season end. Keep them up on a massive wage plus a massive bonus at the end if he did so, that was the job.

Wonder if Barton applied to come here? Silent prayer of thanks for Darryl and Tiger's recruitment if so.

Believe Barton is good friends with the Fleetwood owner.

Accrington, Fleetwood & Pool in the same league..... chuck in a few other North West teams....... horrible journeys!
