    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

    3) Pete Wild

    My criteria would be:
    - fast attacking football
    - good organiser
    - good communicator (both for motivating player and communicated with press/fans)

    I think that to get anywhere in football you need to forget all about adverbs.

    Devaney absolutely shouldn't be given the job if we win the playoffs (or at least not solely on that) but he probably will.

    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. 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.
