    “We have three games before we get into January and those three games may tell us a great deal about the squad we have.”

    Don't think it's even veiled. Message is quite clear.

    Just depends how much freedom he has to bring new players in in January. The squad is already quite large and with the real threat of relegation upon us do we really want to be risking the future of the club by spending beyond our means?

    i expect/hope to see some wheeling and dealing january. i don't think there will be any money to spend, so again i think we'll be looking at loans and/or free transfers. i also liked his perspective on 'no clean slate'. not interested in training, it's performances on match day that will be judged. bob on danny!

    Just hope we can offer him 10% of the support we gave Flitcroft.

    Thing is, they've set someone on now with a great deal of credit with the supporters and who has been round the block a few times - any b/s and he'll pull them up on it.

    If they **** him about, then I think anger at our constant loitering around the bottom 4 might well shift upstairs.

    I liked Tim Sherwood's comments about football. "All this talk about projects football is about winning matches" at least in Danny we will have a manager who makes this his primary concern of course it might not work but we won't have to listen to waffle and ********.

    the board have backed every manager, and do so now more than ever. flicker got more than any manager in recent years, and pretty much $punked the lot away. i doubt there's much money left. we can, and should, only spend what we have. not sure what more some people think the board can do?

    So was the berk the wrong man or just not supported?

    i personally didn't get keith hill from day 1. i'd never really heard of him, tbh. certainly knew nothing about him. but flicker was an overwhelmingly supported decision. and for last season, it was absolutely the right decision. absolutely no doubt the Club did the right thing giving him the job. it's just been a complete **** up this season, and that's pretty much all down to flicker. he was given every assurance he asked for, and failed miserably.

    sacking him was the right thing to do. wilson was the right thing to do. but i guarantee, if he fails, the same fans clamouring for him to get the job, will soon be wanting him out. that's just what happens at Barnsley.

    I'm hoping he turns some of the 'others' like RNL, Digby, Jennings etc into 1st team regulars then they'll seem like new signings without the expenditure

    I agree, assessing a manager can only be done retrospectively.

    That's a damning indictment on our two previous managers but 100% correct.

    If I'd posted that you'd be telling me to grow a backbone or say something positive for a change.

    Depends. You could assess the berk while his tenure was ongoing. It was diabolical at the time. Retrospectively it looks even worse.
