Or is it "take it to the end of the season and then we'll see"? If so he's a bigger mug than I thought.
From Official site Last sentence says it's to be finalised. DAVEY HONOURED TO LAND TOP JOB!!! NEW Barnsley manager Simon Davey spoke of his delight after landing the top job at Oakwell on a permanent basis today. Simon told www.barnsleyfc.co.uk: "I am very excited and it is an absolute honour to be asked to manage a club of this stature. I have thoroughly enjoyed being in charge for the last month and cannot wait to move things forward. "Now is a time for the entire club to pull together and unite behind our aim of staying in the Championship. The players have been tremendous over the last month and I am sure that work ethic will remain and we will move forward. "It is always a surprise when you are asked to do something like this. I have been in constant dialogue with the Board over the last month or so and there was always the suspicion that if results continued to go well then the decision could go my way. The Board have been loyal to me and it is a tremendous honour to have the future of this Club in my hands. "I do not think it will feel any different at Wolves tomorrow because we know that it is a massive game and one of our 20 Cup Finals between now and the end of the season. Hopefully the decision will settle the players down a little as they now know that they have to impress me both on the training field and on the pitch if they are to get a place in the team. "I am due to sit down with the Chairman in the next week to discuss terms and to finalise the contract".
Contracts mean nothing any more having a contract just means money has to change hands when it's broken, and it often is.
