the 1 point we gained from 6 games ,during the time they were entrapping Tommy Wright and causing our players to lose faith in a coach they had loved and gone through so much with,could end up costing us promotion, we got new coach in and moved on but those few weeks must have been hard for everyone, I will hate this paper forever more for what they did, no need for it at all ,entrapment ,thank goodness we moved on but even 6 more points from those games puts us in a play off spot
Nope. Short term pain to clear out of our club a man who was corrupt and self serving. Patrick Cryne dealt with him accordingly.
Sorry but if you want someone to blame blame Tommy Wright for being a money grabbing idiot not the Telegraph for catching him out
Completely disagree. I doubt if this affected the players to any significant degree. In fact I guess that this corrupt practice that he was clearly involved in was (and is) common knowledge in the insular football world.
thanks for your opinions, looks like its just me then that thinks its funny the dip in form was at the time when it was all happening, lets hope we win enough matches to make that dip not matter ,when the final table is resolved
He was in the wrong I don't care which club he worked at or which paper found it out he needed taking to task. Fin. Ps the dip in form is almost certainly correlated but it's still tommy wrights fault not the telegraph. And I hate the telegraph.
It's coincidental, but I genuinely think we suffered the dip in form purely because we were due one. We've turned it around since and the current run doesn't show any letting up. #TeamsLikeBarnsley
Don't like the paper but they did us a favour. Had they not exposed what they did, Wright could well still be at the club trying to engineer moves away for our better players in the January window (or at least selling information which could lead to their sales) so he could make a buck out of it.
It is more likely that the dip in form coincided with the assistant manager trying to con and swindle our best players and absolutely nothing to do with a newspaper trying to out corruption from scum such as Tommy Wright (who should be banned from football by the fa in my opinion)
Tommy Wright was in the wrong but where are all these allegations from this newspaper of stories that were gonna rock the sport ?. Tommy was the only one who lost any face in this ,Allerdyce back in football ,Hasselbaink stayed in his. It was right that Tommy suffered his fate but where are the others we were promised.
Unrest in any part of a football club even not directly conected to the playing staff effects the stability of the ship . We have the stability and everyone including Fans sticking together. RESULT the current success we are expiencing.
You're now blaming the Daily Telegraph? I thought you said it was because we play 4-4-2 and if we didn't ditch it we'd be doomed? http://bbs.barnsleyfc.org.uk/showthread.php?249791-ditch-442-or-we-are-doomed
in a way we did ditch 4 4 2, with scowen playing instead of 2 outright wingers ,ever since our form as improved we have been playing a more 4 3 3 ,with either scowen or watkins ,tracking back inside to close down the space ,excuse me if im wrong but dont think weve gone with hammill and kent for ages, even at forest we went 4 4 1 1 ,and only at the end we went 442 for 10 minutes ,but still not with 2 outright wingers sorry if my opinions upset you , but I only put my point of view across ,not in an arrogant way I hope
what i put further down the thread 4 4 2 is causing us to get turned round too easy and teams get in behind us too easy, it is also not allowing us to build pressure as we have 2 wide men and as soon as our attack breaks down we are swamped in midfield
