Club said this upon sacking him an hour or two later.... However, recent performances and results have been concerning, considering the Club currently boasts the fifth highest wage bill in League One in addition to a fourth highest equity donation by our owner. Meanwhile, our current League position of 17th is in stark contrast to an average home gate of sixth-best in the division. Whilst the Club acknowledges there has been a large turnover of players, the league position is still unacceptable considering all of the above. Barnsley Football Club asks all supporters to please get behind Mark Burton and Paul Heckingbottom on Saturday as we seek three valuable points to propel the side up the league table. The Club can assure fans that a suitable candidate will be selected and in place at the earliest opportunity. While media speculation will be constant during the search, the Club will aim to select the correct candidate in private and will make a further announcement as and when it is appropriate.
Are you referring to our display at Pikey Rovers last season? That really was one of Mr Wilson's Darkest moments!!!!!!!!!!! Utter Drivel !!! called to the Samaritans that evening.
