...on the new manager. Apparently Patrick's not revealing much but he did say he'd recently been in touch with Alex Ferguson after sitting next to him on a train from Glasgow to Manchester. Apparently Fergie suggested we should appoint Stan Ternant! Mmmm! PC has links to United as iSOFT's HQ was in Manchester and used Old Trafford for Hospitality purposes. PC's also had a tour around Carrington to check out the facilities. Fergie likes Barnsley and wants to help us out. Rossi was apparently on the cards pre-season but Newcastle got in first. Fergie isn't happy about Rossi's lack of first team football at Newcastle so he will be on his way to Blackburn in the transfer window if no better loan opportunities crop up? [Shame we couldn't get him in]. Two United's reserve defenders Daniel Simpson and Adam Eckersley are in the need of some 'first team' experience in England having recently been on loan at European clubs so they could be an option if the new manager agrees? PC favours his vision of a Barnsley team built up from Academy players so who knows they job may go to Davey? All the opinions of someone who knows PC so whether Sheppard is involved in PC's dealings with Fergie who knows? Food for thought though. Personally I just wish we could appoint a manager to settle the ship ASAP.
cheers mate - good read think chris eagles is available also - could be a good one as he comes back from loan from a european side in jan
Also,Stan Ternent....could do a lot worse but don't think he is up on modern coaching, thought he was more of an old school manager - widely respected in the game however
Good Do Plenty Better As Well By Appointing Me And...... you as we have the clubs best interests at heart as die hard Barnsley fans.
