I said S'OD wouldn't take the job long before Matt Murray did. Do l get a medal? piece of piss this BFC manager game Ages ago, sithi when Hill was first sacked. http://v2.barnsleyfc.org.uk/showthr...owd-v-Burnley-amp-Leeds&p=1226437#post1226437
I've been told by numerous folk supposedly 'in the know' that he applied. I'm also told that he has since withdrawn after the club approached SOD. So I dunno. But considering I wanted Hill, and we got him, I hope we don't get my man this time. Which is why I'm now hoping for Carlton Palmer.
I think that PC will calmly move on to number 3, or will make a short term appointment untill SOD becomes available.
I never wanted SOD, and said all along that I didn't think he was either the 'right' man, or interested. Do I get a silver medal?
Because those that applied were w@nk? They give it to the kid from Mansfield and they've shown no ambition. They go after managers they rate and they're daft. It's the same in any industry. You've a vacancy, you advertise. If those applications aren't any good you go and head hunt. That doesn't come off, you usually promote internally. Football's no different.
I can't fault the club at all for their quest for a new manager or how they've gone about it but its more a case of now the horse has bolted. Loving these horse terms lately. Oh and The Don and Bazza, stay away from my house, l don't want it too much on wi kids and Call of Duty.
