JOEY BARTON has been sacked by League One outfit Bristol Rovers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His exit comes just weeks after fans slammed the ex-Manchester City star for "throwing his own player under the bus."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A Rovers statement confirmed: "Bristol Rovers Football Club can confirm that today the club has relieved First Team Manager Joey Barton of his duties.<\/p>\n

"Everyone at the club would like to thank Joey for all his efforts and wish him well in the future.<\/p>\n

"In the interim, Andy Mangan will lead the team supported by Glenn Whelan, Danny Ventre and Anssi Jaakkola who will remain in post."<\/p>\n

Rovers are 16th in League One after just four wins from their opening 14 matches.<\/p>\n

Their last victory came against Port Vale at the start of October.<\/p>\n

Since then, they suffered away defeats at Oxford and Burton.<\/p>\n

And Barton's last result was a 1-1 draw with Stevenage.<\/p>\n

The former Man City midfielder, 41, had been in charge of Rovers since February 2021.<\/p>\n

But following last month's defeat to Peterborough, he was slammed by supporters after aiming a brutal rant at one of his own players.<\/p>\n

Barton tore into Luke Thomas for playing on while carrying an injury.<\/p>\n

He said: "We had a mountain to climb due to Luke Thomas' decision to play on in the second-half. I've never known anything like it.<\/p>\n

"He reported he was a bit stiff one minute before we are going back out, having had 13 minutes to speak to the physios.<\/p>\n

"He was told to go out and test it. But two minutes into the second-half his side is compromised because he can't run, he feels the hamstring.<\/p>\n

"In his infinite wisdom, I don't know why he presses the ball and doesn't sit on the pitch so the ref can stop the game and we can get the sub on.<\/p>\n

"In the midst of that chaotic spell of two minutes, we are compromised from within and they score the second goal.<\/p>\n

"I wish I could fine him and I'll be speaking to the CEO about that because it's a ludicrous decision, he shouldn't get paid this week for what he's done because he has put us 2-0 down.<\/p>\n

One idiotic young boy, I can't even call him a man<\/p>\n

"It's frustrating, we have got to be better than that. You come to a good place like\u00a0Peterborough, you can't play with ten men, especially in wide areas because they will punish you."<\/p>\n

Asked if it was a mistake caused by the 24-year-old's inexperience, Barton snapped back, continuing: "When does the young man stop?<\/p>\n

"How many times can we put his lethargy in moments down to being young? At some point the penny has got to drop.<\/p>\n

"If you are injured, fine, come off the pitch, nobody has got a problem with that.<\/p>\n

"Going back out and making stupid\u00a0decisions\u00a0just compromises your team-mates and all our hard work is undone because of a decision by one of our players.<\/p>\n

"I'm so frustrated with him, we have given him enormous backing at this club and he lets himself down with stupidity."<\/p>\n

In another interview he called Thomas "one idiotic young boy \u2013 I can\u2019t even call him a man."<\/p>\n

Fans were not happy over Barton's words, with one saying: "This is horrible. Thomas had been amazing this season and I'm sure\u00a0Rovers fans\u00a0won't be holding this against him."<\/p>\n

Another added: "Very poor, been one of if not the best player for us these season. Not a fan of that."<\/p>\n

A third commented: "Joey Barton throwing arguably our best player this season under the bus is a disgrace. Guy has worked hard every game this season and deserves credit, not criticism."<\/p>\n

More raged: "You can be the best manager in the world, but if you throw your players under the bus like this the dressing room very quickly turns on you. A manager throwing excuses instead of looking at himself."<\/p>\n
