Some interesting noise start of the week on Twitter (which for some reason I cannot find now) then comes in at 16/1 with Bet Victor to be manager. Just a rumour like but worth pointing out for conversation.
I know it's only hear say (the rumour not the band) that we nearly signed him and then he went to Arsenal instead just after the Euros if my memories are correct. If he'd have signed would have had a field day with the ladies on Wellington Street.
I recall at the time it was said John Dennis had bid 750k for him. Unfortunately, Arsenal just pipped us by lobbing in their 3M bid!
We'd agreed terms with his club, he'd agreed terms with us. He was coming to Barnsley. Arsene Wenger then sat down to watch the Sweden game. On TV. And half way through the game he rang his CEO and said "buy Freddie Ljunberg. Now."
It won't be Freddie, because we've heard of him. It'll be someone we've never heard of. Or Devaney, because we have no money left in the kitty.....
Just had a look at BetVictor odds and also at 16-1 another random name is Lukas Kwasniok. Again probably someone picked a random name and put £10 on him but he's done really well at Paderborn in Bundesliga 2 this season. Currently 7th and seems to play an attacking 4-3-3. Could be something more to it maybe ?
