Fleetwood Town can confirm manager Joey Barton has left the club with immediate effect. We would like to thank Joey for his work during his time at Highbury Stadium and wish him success in the future.
I wonder if Fleetwood will now keep Ched Evans, it was Barton who wanted him out of the club and they were hoping to sort out an agreement to pay off his contract.
Early betting has Nigel Adkins as joint favourite (with Danny Cowley) to take over at 7/1, with Paul Cook at 10/1.
6 points from their last 5 games so not surprising. Oh, hang on, we only have 4 from our last 5. To have a club with their resources only 3 points outside the play offs isn't too shabby.
Will increase their chances of automatic promotion or a place in the play offs with any of those 3 in charge.
interesting...very interesting. Cook left Portsmouth because he was fed up living in the south. Can't see him in South London.
