Joey Barton has continued to air his grievance at being sacked by Fleetwood Town - as the former Rangers midfielder insists they were foolish to bin him.
The Bristol Rovers boss clashed with Celtic legend Scott Brown on Easter Monday as The Gas came from behind to 2-1 away from home in English League One. Barton was dismissed as Cod Army manager in January 2021 and took over in Bristol a month later, and reignited his feud with Brown from his time at Rangers by claiming his former club's fans would rather have him in charge than the Hoops hero.
And in new quotes released by Bristol Live, Barton put some praise on his rival for the job he's done even if it's not in eye-catching style and couldn't resist another dig, this time at Fleetwood chairman Andy Pilley: "He was a fool to sack me, as he knows, and you can see from the style of football and where the club has gone since."
