Reported to be on the radar to become the next Manager of Port Vale following John Askeys sacking. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/important-barnsley-figure-linked-with-efl-switch/
I'm sure he's said he doesn't want to be a Manager/Head Coach again. Finds it very stressful and I think it would be at Port Vale. I remember the days when Barnsley would regularly be beaten by Port vale, Notts county, Colchester, Southend and the like,how times change.
This is correct - he’s stated several times he likes to be the assistant more out of the limelight. Found Mansfield too stressful as Manager and affected his home life.
Have you just got back in .....pmsl You left me hanging on .....pmsl Take a look at our woodrow PM discussion Lol...... ..hope you are well and had a good Christmas Goldthorpe...
Bloody hell mate I’m sorry I remember our chat now! I’ll get onto it when I stroll back in, be abart an hour. If I’ve not popped up just drop me another message as I’m away with the clouds most of the time haha. Hope your doing ok buddy.
Nope. He took the step up at Mansfield, and has openly said since (even before he joined us), that head coach/manager might not be for him. The stress and the impact on personal life it had wasn’t really for him and his family. He took too much home with him each day. Fair play to the guy - takes some balls to say it.
