Anybody know what’s going on? Tomorrow is surely decision day, so that a new manager can be announced on Friday. If it’s not an internal appointment, why not at least put us in the picture? Had the job been offered to at least one candidate? Have they turned it down?
If Devaney’s been interviewed and not offered the job, he’s a dead man walking. So is he expected to stay on as first team coach and caretaker manager, then be asked to leave? Not good.
Do you honestly think they would put out anything of what you've asked..? It'll be announced as and when done.
You can imagine it can't you! 'Barnsley Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of third favourite for the previously vacant managerial post, the 30-yard throw specialist Dave Challinor, who has left his role at Stockport County with immediate effect. Barnsley Football Club would like to offer sympathy to fans in respect of the delay to appoint a new Head Coach; first-choice Darren Moore opted not to take the role, and second-choice Ruaidhri Higgins withdrew from the running after reading disparaging comments on the BBS fan forum. 8th choice Martin Devaney has decided to remain at the club in a coaching capacity. Martin was made aware of the details of this statement prior to it going live - in the interests of transparency, all club communications will give a thorough and brutal breakdown of all future dealings, from incoming appointments to departing fly-by-nights, whether they be players, coaches, ponty end car park attendents, or backroom staff. Welcome to Grove Street Dave. You winning reds!'
