He's lost the plot. Diamonds?? Knackers to that. Cut out the middleman, Jason, and save yourself a bit of time - bring in the next-but-one gaffer NOW!
Brilliant. Send every manager out there a letter via the LMA. 'This is to sadly notify you that your potential contract as manager of Barnsley FC has been terminated forthwith. If you are not actually the manager of Barnsley FC, please file the letter away for safe keeping until the day you are. Or aren't, as it transpires.' Or something.
This is the wrong approach. We should resolve to make use of the "new manager bounce" and employ a different one every week. Thus sacking one every week. Any idiot knows that a new manager always wins their first game. The principle being....if our players have no idea what they're doing next, how can the opposition possibly plan so as to stop it? Genius.
Amidst all the ranting and ravings there is always that one post one here that manages to split my sides. Absolutely pissing myself
