Sky Sports understands that Rochdale have approached Barnsley for permission to speak to their assistant boss David Flitcroft. Flitcroft, who played over 150 games for Dale during his playing career, has been Keith Hill's number two for more than five years and he followed him to Barnsley this summer. Dale appointed Steve Eyre, but dismissed him in December - appointing head of youth Chris Beech on a short-term deal. But Rochdale's hierarchy are concerned after going three games without a win and are now making plans to bring in a new permanent replacement. And Flitcroft is seemingly at the top of their list, although it may be difficult to prise him away from Oakwell and Barnsley will be loathed to break up their managerial staff after their recent fine form. Sky Sports understands that Phil Brown and Peter Reid are in the frame, should a deal for Flitcroft fail to materialise.
Here we go !!!......I prediced this (sort of)..........NAIL THEM DOWN !!! ..........but I thought it would be one of the bottom Premeirship clubs in Lancashire - Blackburn, Bolton or Wigan. Because they live in that area - plus plus plus...........its not going un-noticed what they are doing at Barnsley. Taxi driver from TARN last night said he ferrys alot of the players and staff about at Barnsley and everyone of them has a huge respect for Flicker. He only said to me last night that he thinks Flicker may leave at some point to manage a club on his own. Lets fooking well hope NOT...........Pat Cryne needs to nail both Keith and Flicker down to quality long term contracts. These two guys are the best thing thats happened to Barnsley for decades. Prediction - another season or two and Barnsley will be knocking on the door of the Premeirship if these two guys stay incharge

Re: Here we go !!!......I prediced this (sort of)..........NAIL THEM DOWN !!! I agree Nudge, I think they are equally important to our progress and we should get them onto long term contracts.
Re: Here we go !!!......I prediced this (sort of)..........NAIL THEM DOWN !!! we cannot hold on to the likes of butterfield long term but we should aim to keep the management duo
Re: Here we go !!!......I prediced this (sort of)..........NAIL THEM DOWN !!! Lets not get them on long term contracts cause if we loose 3 on bounce you lot will be calling for their heads fickle bunch.
Re: no further forward than last season Nudger 'predicted' the credit-crunch too. I think he also said sumat abart Bin-Laden hiding in Pakistan.. The thirst to be right, by Young Nudger and Hemsworth-Tyke.. Btw, Hillcroft, who most wanted out or didnt want ere to start with, are on a rolling contract... so how can you extend that? And, SlySports also 'understand' that I am shagging Jorgie Porter
Re: no further forward than last season That aint true tha`ll not cheat on KHiller YT we all know that.
Re: no further forward than last season A gave Flickers a reight seeing to after that defeat yesterday, and for the sake of his arse he's off to Spotland - soft get
Re: no further forward than last season You can't extend a rolling contract but you can give them a 3 year deal tomorrow.
Because they are taking us in the right direction. Can't you see that? even if we finish lower than last season, can't you see what they're trying to build? der
