<h3>SIMON DAVEY paid for this latest disaster by losing his job as manager of Barnsley. </h3> </p> He was called to an immediate post-match meeting with club officials, amid a clamour for his head by Oakwell fans. </p> </p> The outcome was he left his post 'by mutual consent'. </p> </p> Their defeat saw Barnsley stuck to the bottom of the Championship with just one point from five games this season and sparked a 'We want Davey out' protest inside and then outside the ground. </p> </p> Club owner Patrick Cryne missed the match but is thought to have made a phone call from abroad after the final whistle. </p> </p> Ex-Watford chief Aidy Boothroyd is likely to be among the leading candidates to take over. </p> </p> Davey has won respect for keeping the Tykes in the Championship for three years but that was not enough to save him. </p> </p> After seeing his side toss away an early lead, he admitted: "We're all as disappointed as the fans. I'm with them in their frustration." </p> </p> Despite losing to Barnsley in the Carling Cup, fellow strugglers Reading raced to an impressive first league win of the campaign. </p> </p> But it took a controversial incident to seal their dominance, after Alex Pearce had equalised a goal from debut-making Andy Gray. </p> </p> Ref Michael Oliver awarded the visitors a penalty when a linesman ruled Jimmy Kebe had been upended by home keeper Luke Steele. </p> </p> Noel Hunt thumped in from the spot and then glanced in a header from Kebe's cross for the third. </p> </p> Gray had given Barnsley a great start, flashing in a near-post header from Hugo Colace's corner in the 11th minute. </p>
Don't know why there's so much dislike for Boothroyd. He took a similar to, or-slightly-smaller, club than us into the Premiership, after winning a relegation battle in this league the season before. I'd settle for that.
do you really want to go and watch that style of football week in week out? One trick pony and times have moved on, even Stoke have figured that one out.
So what people want is... a manager who has had unlimited success at Championship level, who has Barnsley connections, and who plays perfect, beautiful, passing football? We can't have all those things folks and we need to learn it fast. I'd be pretty happy with Boothroyd, he's had success at this level with a club who were in a similar state to us when he took over. Couldn't care less what style of football we play as long as we don't get relegated to that hellhole league below.
He had one season of success. Failed dramitcally in the premirship du to budget constrains and lack of plan B. sank down th table on watfords rlegation.
According to the papers Aidy Boothroyd leads the way for every job that comes up. Just our luck if ours is the one he finally gets
boothrord deffo no,mr personality we nedd someone that can connect with the fans,i can,t think of a worst choice than boothroyd
I think it started to go wrong at Watford when the finances unravelled. They're still struggling now, apparently. One promotion, one playoff final won, one playoff semi-final, one season in the top division. What's not to like? I don't care how we play. Just win some league games. I'd settle for that.
