If we win tonight and at Wembley, Devaney gets the job; realistically though we’ll be hiring someone else. What are your criteria for a new manager, and who are your top three picks?
1) Dress sense - significant issues with Collins' persistent blue trousers/brown shoes combos meant he never endeared himself to the fanbase and we certainly don't want a Tony Pulis type who dresses like Jimmy Savile. 2) Sensible haircut - we'll have none of that Gareth Ainsworth ****** at Oakwell, thank you very much 3) I'd like them to take a grammar and literacy test and achieve at least 90%. Right, I'm off to Bolton. Laters.
1). Must have previously had a career outside football, but preferably in entertainment. So maybe the non-singing bassist from a rock band who can keep the tempo without wanting the limelight. 2). Must look the part on the bench. So, someone with style and panache. 3). Someone rich enough to buy enough shares so that they don't have to worry about the board wanting rid. So Paul McCartney, Sting or John Deacon but not Bill Wyman. No confirmed nonces thank you.
1. Someone who doesn't use zonal marking. 2. Someone who leaves two players on the halfway line when defending corners. 3. Someone who still believes in wingers. Sorry, I know I'm asking for the moon...
1) Hecky 2) Mike Williamson 3) Pete Wild My criteria would be: - fast attacking football - good organiser - good communicator (both for motivating player and communicated with press/fans)
Devaney absolutely shouldn't be given the job if we win the playoffs (or at least not solely on that) but he probably will.
My choice would be Duff (speaks well, pressing attacking football, no yes man) Grant mcann Mike williamson
1.Jason Wyngarde -dresses well 2.Mr Blobby - full of hot air but will talk a good game 3.Clive Dunn - would make sure opponents wouldn't like it up em
For me some criteria would include: - Can find Barnsley on a map without help - Can name five teams to have recently been promoted from League One - Can identify common factors between those teams that contributed to their success - Can identify which current Barnsley players have a place in a promotion chasing side - Can suggest affordable additions to the squad that would strengthen a promotion push - Can exhibit a sense of credibility, professionalism, standards, and motivation - Will commit to performance based terms and conditions
1. Ted Lasso 2.Mike Basset 3. Roy Race But failing that someone decent who doesnt fail to get a work permit
1 A name nobody can get right 2 experience in the Maltese non league 3 can say how many bags full when someone above gives an order to do as told
1. A proclivity to win football games. 2. Someone with a Val-esque look that makes players sh1t3 themselves. 3. To not be called Joey Barton.
