    His CV does look extremely good and story is plausible as its no secret that Don has been planning to retire but lets wait until we have a bit of corroboration
    Strange the story is on sky but no where else

    Maybe his ties with sky sports have lead to them knowing first?

    I feckin hope so.

    I may get a season ticket at this rate, Flicker walking on water, atmosphere at the games again and a change in the boardroom.

    If that's true it's a great appointment. He's got a CV that will bring plenty to our table and more connections than Heathrow.
    If that happens I can honestly say season ticket decision made after years of absence.

    Must say I've never heard of him but just read up and he doesn't seem like the sort of person who just wants to go through the motions. Definitely the sort of leadership we need and no doubt has some good connections for bringing in the investment that Cryne and Rowing have failed so badly with, although I accept that is a difficult task at Barnsley given that so much investment would be needed to make a difference!
