    But he was bad at his job, its what normally happens unfortunately.
    And isn't it what we regularly say as fans, when one of our own managers/coaches is doing badly.

    They were in a bad way when he went there last season and he only just kept them up. However, at present they look at real risk of going down this season. Fans favourite he may be but that doesn't cut it. A lot of their fans never wanted him in the first place.
    Rumours that the recently sacked Michael Beale could be going back to QPR!

    Horrible man from what I've been told. And absolute cross served up as football.

    Did he do a bad job though or take on an impossible job from a club (at last) feeling the impact of cheating. It’s like blaming the manager of your local Wilkos for them going bust.

    He did what he could at a basket case club.

    Your probably right Jim, but the thing that matters most to fans and chairmen/owners, is results. And they are now 2nd from bottom!.

    Btw what is that about them cheating ?.
    I think Ive heard loads of Derby fans also accuse them of this, when they beat them to promotion once, under Colin W*nker. ;)

    Financial doping just like Reading. For years they spent money they didn’t have on players they couldn’t afford. It caught up with them.

    Ahh right, money they couldn't afford to spend ehh lol.
    So Derby saw this and thought they'd also do it, until they got caught!.
    And meanwhile there's us and loads of others, who 'naively' stuck to the so called Financial fair play rule!.
    :eek:

    As much as I enjoyed the football under Hunter as the best footballing period of Barnsley fc.
    I remember as a player for us. He committed a terrible tackle on a young opponent. Trouble is I can picture the tackle but not the player or team.

    As for Frank Casper you are right.

    I’d gone past Norman Hunter down the flank, left him for speed and crossed the ball.

    “Fletch (Paul Fletcher) headed the ball and it hit the crossbar and came out.

    “I carried on running but Norman Hunter followed me off the field and gave me a big kick.

    “Unfortunately it was behind my bad knee. If it had been my other knee I would probably have been all right.”

    Casper, perhaps incredibly, hobbled into an FA Cup semi final against Newcastle the following week and made a brief attempt at a comeback 16 months later.

    But his career was over, and the only subsequent meeting between Casper and Hunter brought an evening of uncomfortable silence.

    With the Hunter thing, Ive never argued whether he did injure and end that players career or not, because I can believe it.
    Sadly, he was that sort of player sometimes wasn't he, especially at Leeds. :(
