From what I've seen online, Joey Barton is pretty much nailed on for the job there now.
As JP reports - Rovers would have to pay some sort of compo for him and I don't see that happening given the current climate.

It comes down to three things in my view:
1. Is our financial position such that the Board will value guaranteed compensation now over potential but not guaranteed long term success with Duff?
2. Does Duff feel he has been instrumental in turning Cheltenham around, helping them reach their strongest position for years but can’t see how the Club or he will ‘kick on’ or progress his career and therefore a change is good for him, or...
3. Does Duff see this as the still the start of something special, with the Board giving him confidence and as much certainty as possible that he can achieve the next step (established League 1 side) here at Cheltenham and progress his career here.

Joey Barton confirmed at Bristol Rovers  What a combination. How long after fans are allowed back before he has a punch up with one of their delightful fans?

Ill disciplined on the pitch and very little better off it. Not the best appointment for Rovers!

Why would any board give this chap any time at their club? Pure PR

If you go by the bookies, it is pretty much odds on that both Cheltenham and FGR will be a division above Bristol Rovers next season.
The Gasheads will not like that!
