    ......... who had a finger in every pie and being an ex-director of Manchester United he had contacts throughout football.

    So when it came to bringing in a good up and coming manager, Maurice always came up with a good replacement.
    Although none were successful because they just didn’t get the money to compete.

    Now we have new owners who are choosing the new manager - and I would say this manager is the worst we have seen in a long long time.

    A very poor start by the new owners.

    Bring back Maurice !!!

    Watkins was the scarlet pimpernel of Barnsley football club.
    Just another factor of why we are in this mess.

    All of them would have been successful to some degree - if they hadn’t been forced to shop at Aldi.
    Or was it Lidl?

    Presumably his influence was to scrap good players and sign only kids with potential value a few years later. Either that or he insisted on buying a faulty 15 inch portable for above the tunnel.

    Answer the question. Dazzle me with your knowledge of the influence and role of a man who must have spent about 5 hours a week at best at Oakwell

    To be fair, it is definitely the manager's fault that the likes of Moore miss good chances every game, Davies flaps at crosses, defenders make pathetic individual errors every game.

    The players are not good enough. We could have brought in anyone, literally anyone within our reach and they wouldn't have done any better because the players are not ******* good enough.

    Perhaps all someone else could have done is played percentages better and made us harder to beat
