    Do a good job for us. Get him in.

    The daft **** we've done as a football club is incredible but pushing him out ranks top 3 IMHO.

    Coventry, Millwall, Luton all top ten. No excuses.

    Has Robins been sacked by Coventry???

    Unless he's been sacked, why would a mid table champ manager come to a club that in all likelihood will be in L2 in a couple of seasons?

    Of course he hasn't been sacked & of course he wouldn't touch us with a barge poll - as will nobody with any calibre. He's done an incredible job & told us ten years ago that our first tentative steps into the spreadsheet was b.llocks and was effectively sacked for it.

    You could try to explain it to me.

    I'd be eternally grateful.

    I reckon Juergen Klopp would be great players would sign for us and we would play good attacking football get him in

    It’s about as realistic as Robins

    Suppose it's an observation that an ex reds manager, who said ten years ago our plan wasn't gonna cut it at this level is finishing top ten with a club he recently got promoted as we finish below two sides who've had point deductions.

    I did. You just weren't smart enough to understand the point so I had to spell it out without any hint of irony.

    But data-led football recruitment is massively successful. It’s just that our version is badly flawed.

    Liam Manning or Lee Johnson would be top of my list.

    That’s an excellent point. Brentford’s success has been built on data and the investment of over £100m from Mathew Bentham.

    All clubs are using data to varying degrees, it would appear that the Barnsley data model isn’t very good.

    A Lee Johnson appointment would be more realistic
