Who the hell wants old long ball merchant. If he was any good he would be employed now. Give us a break fetch Bassett in as his No 2
Don't be soft! He'd halve the crowds?? So who's the guy who's going to double the crowds to come in then? Get real, it's about staying up, unless you think going to Exeter sounds like fun? Can't you see he's the man to help us win ugly? This is a no brainier to me, best man for the job by some margin.
We didn't play long ball when Bassett was our manager His trademark was also a tight defence and we didn't do that either As for megson I just don't think that the people of Barnsley would stomach such an obnoxious person
No ta. Clueless in second season and if he'd kept De Zeeuw instead of singing his mates we'd have gone up automatic!
You know what you're right, lets get a nice manager who plays lovely football, high possession and lose every week....sound familiar? Tough jobs call for tough managers, so all those who think Megson is obnoxious, you be right and go pat your trier of a soft manager on the back every time we get battered...meantime I'll be watching us play the likes of Leicester, Boro, Leeds while you non believers head off to Oldham and Stevenage. Rant over, get Mega in!!
Bassett walked into a job with Bruce Dyer, Mike Sheron, Georgi Hristov, Darren Barnard, Nicky Eaden, Martin Bullock, Matty Appleby and Craig Hignett already in situ. He bought Neil Shipperley and Kevin Miller. We then had a truly remarkable season. The 6-0 thumping of Pompey. Beating favourites Blackburn home and away (5-1 at Oakwell, what a result that was). Beat Fulham away 3-1. Beat the Blunts at home. Man City at home. We saw some shocking displays too, and it was never dull. And it culmninated in a trip I thought I'd never ever make - Twin Towers. I prefer to think we had a great group of players, and that Harry lucked into it a little. Think he was paid some sort of obscene win bonus too. But at the end of the day, he was in charge during one of our greatest seasons ever, and so he must take a modicum of credit. Despite practically denying us a win at Wembley by selecting Keith Brown. After the great players left (some of them), he replaced them with a load of *****.
