    Cos he could commute from his mansion in the home counties?

    Don't forget his wife is a TV presenter - she can't just up sticks and move to Barnsley.

    What ? We’re only little owd Barnsley ? Ffs that’s exactly why the club is in the dark ages . Fook me if that’s the level of the average fans ambition they might as well shut the club . Oh and btw the money IS there and I hope they get some spent COD that’s the only way we’ll move forward . Spending is not a guarantee of success but not spending is a guarantee of failure !

    Not before coming to Oakwell, but a year in an assistant manager role at a Division 2 (old money) club when he got the job. I seem to recall (although could be wrong), that Wilson was doing much of the coaching behind the scenes in that year under Anderson. That is one year more than Lampard (or Barton at Fleetwood) have. Incidentally, its also more than Hendry had when he took over and that didn't go so well.

    With an old, experienced assistant a good manager can do a good/great job, but a less-than-good one will be exposed and ultimately fail.

    I'd certainly have some faith, given what he's managed at West Brom.

    Id love to see it and somebody like Mick Mac would definitely do that, but we all know thats never going to happen.
    So we're stuck with the current regime now who won't be looking for anybody that we as fans would like to see.

    What about Sol Cambell then ? , surely he was a top defender & could have sorted our defence out , oh wait a minute, maybe not , he tried before at Notts county & made a pigs ear of that. You can pluck top ex players names all day long but it guarantees nothing , but a lot of people are wise after the event

    What do you mean exactly? Neville failed why would you want somebody who was hated by his previous clubs fans for being inept?

    I'll eat my own arse if he ends up at Ipswich. Alan Brazil is hardly a reliable source.

    If Gary Neville is employed by Barnsley, the club can retake possession of the season ticket I just renewed.

    No. No. Never. **** off. ¡Gary vete ya! *****!
