Sod that. 13th in League Two with one of the biggest budgets, after keeping them up by the skin of their teeth last season. Would be a ridiculous appointment.
"According to The Sun's page 63 article, Sean O'Driscoll is the favourite for the Oakwell hotseat with Kevin Blackwell and Plymouth boss John Sheridan also in the running." Holy ****.
no to O'Driscoll In a big way he turned us down before, then was supposed to be quitting Brizzle city and packing in after last season (i think it was last ) before he got sacked.
What's wrong with him I've no opinion just wondered why you're so anti. Enjoyed the Salient Braves vid you did btw. H
The fact he turned us down, then pitched up at Bristol who went down instead of us. That's one reason. The fact he's possibly the dullest manager I've ever had to listen to. He's currently in the England youth setup. His win percentage makes Danny's look magnificent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_O'Driscoll
We've been turned down by better but aye can't say I'd want him given he's got progressively worse. I did enjoy watching his Donny side play though.
If you replace O'Driscoll with Keith Hill that was Argyle's 3 man shortlist a couple of years ago, O'Driscoll was heavily linked too having unofficially worked as DOF for a few months the season before to help out Carl Fletcher. Surely you can attract better names than we did?
At the time we weren't long out of admin with massive debts still to be paid (That still aren't fully paid off yet) and in the League 2 relegation zone with an awful squad, surely in terms of trying to attract managers it can't be much worse than that?
You could have said the same abart Stuart Gray when he were manager at Northampton, he aint doing such a bad job now for the Piggies.
The fact that the sun have said we're after Blackwell proves that article is 100% made up b○llocks. If sacking Danny was a "business" decision, why on earth would one of the front runners to be his replacement be one of the most loathed men to Barnsley fans.
There aren't many people on the 'never in a million years' list but Blackwell is on it and the club know it. Like you say, utter b0ll0x.
