Interview with Danny in The Times

Sorry but unless your man united or barcelona you don't get into footy to make money. if cryne can't bankroll barnsley to knock out a decent side every week(look at bournemouth now) he should be doing his level best to sell on, and not use his and our club as a discount hobbie, thats the cold hard fact here!

 

But surely it's all about how you're money has been spent, not the money you make? No-one is suggesting Cryne wants to make money. I bet he gets p1ssed off by how much has been wasted...

 

The new manager may come in and want to assemble his own squad. He may feel that one or two (or more) of the players we have don't fit his criteria and thus his plans, then, the rebuilding starts again. What happens 14 months down the line when the transitional nature of the rebuilding process comes to a stutter - do we simply call time on the next manager? Do we keep doing that until hopefully, sometime in the future, something clicks and we get lucky? It's a cycle that has been going around for far too long at Oakwell, and I've become detached from the club I used to love with a passion. We needed stability and it's not what we've got, and we won't have for at least another season or two. We would've stayed up this season and with the squad DW put together, I'd have been reasonably happy with that. Another pre-season under the squads belt, a few more additions and another go next season - if, after 15/20 games of next campaign we didn't see that improvement we'd all hoped for, then, and then only should Wilson have come under that serious scrutiny.

I just can't see the reasoning behind the decision at all. The result on Saturday, following the decision has only proved to me that it was a stupid one.

 

Exactly how I feel.

 

Good post,my thoughts exactly and I wasn't one calling for Dannys reinstatement or against

 

Wilson's own squad included loaners at the back in the middle and up front while our own players warmed the bench (if they were lucky). How has signing and playing Ramage, Pearson, waring, dudgeon, Cole, Williams, trotta, kiwomya and co at the expense of not just Barnsley players but HIS signings helped the long term plan?

Wilson had abandoned the plan unfortunately

 

I'm not being funny, but how do you know what the specifics of Wilson's plan were? From what I can gather, his plan was to strip back the club and rebuild a team capable of challenging to get back into the Championship - as far as I was aware, that wasn't a goal for this season, or necessarily next season, but by giving the youth a chance to play, and allowing them to mesh into the fold slowly and surely, he was allowing his plan to unfold patiently. The fact of the matter was that our squad just wasn't big enough and the loan signings he brought in were a real mixed bag, offering experience, offering different things in regards to skill, and offering us depth. Ok, they haven't all turned out to be exceptional, but after sitting at Bramall Lane and watching that squad take to the field and out fight Sheffield United in their own back yard, no one could've envisioned that this is how the season was going to pan out. The loan signings were supplementary for the season, allowing the likes of Holgate, Bree, Smith, Williams, Davies time to develop slowly. Our signings for me, have been good ones (Lita aside...), but you can't tell me that the likes of Winnall, Hourihane, Berry et al haven't been exciting and haven't been promising.

A few of the lads in the side need to take a long, hard look at themselves. The likes of Jennings, Lita, Bailey etc - they should be taking this league by the scruff of the neck, but they don't seem to want to perform.

Wilson made mistakes, that's a given, but did those mistakes outweigh all the good that he was trying to do and had done over the past 7 months? I say 7 months, because that's really only the time he's had to make a stamp on the club with his own set of players. The answer by the way, is a resounding no.

 

That's a really well written article and typical of the kind of sports journalism you will find in papers like The Times. Proper journalists there, unlike those in other papers.

I hope Danny gets fixed up again with a decent club and does well. I have never harboured any resentment about his leaving before. He had the choice of another shot at the Premier League, so why wouldn't he go for it? I am certain he didn't know the chance was coming when he said he would be with us for the next season.

 

Craggy Island is much closer to Norfolk than I thought.

 

To think of the time we gave to that nob head Simon Davey.

 

The new manager will come in, look at the ***** he's been left with and realise it's another rebuild over the summer.

Ben will be along to tell us we have two weeks to buy our season tickets at the discounted rate.

 

Yep, but Cryne has provided a budget to be competitive in this league, so it's a case of finding the right man. Surely he can get it right this time?! He said, desperately...

 

So why give him the funds & the transfer window? Then sack him 1 week after?

Your argument doesn't hold mate
