McCarthy - we need you!

I have to confess that I didn't buy a season ticket this season however that was nothing to do with performance or anything, I'll support the club through and through. It was just a lack of funds considering I'm a student without a job of any sort.

Anyway, I was just wondering what people think of trying to get McCarthy? I know it wouldn't make a difference immediately but with him I am certain lost fans would return and the terrible 9k attendances would increase, along with money for the club to spend.

Keith is a good manager, for a lower league team - just not for the Championship. We either need Mick McCarthy as manager or someone with more money than sense to buy the club... By the way, I will DEFINITELY find funds for a season ticket next time round whatever happens - I've regretted not getting one.

 

No chance. Hill is not going anywhere.

 

We will not get him. He will not work with a budget that Keith has to.

 

In fact maybe I'm just over-reacting. We were doing well in the first half of the season, when we actually had goal scorers. We just need to drop on another cheap (free) few players who can get the ball in the net...

 

And then they will be sold to the first bidder. And back to square one

 

even if they wanted shut of hill they havnt the budget,,,apparently we are skint,end of...............................but if they arnt skint then they ought to give hill some money,cause i still reakon he could do a good job with the right players............we just havnt got the right players on the pitch at the moment...

 

Which we will always have to do with our budget, if you don't like that goa and be a Manure or Man City fan.

 

Mick wouldn't do any better than Hill on the budget that we give our manager. Like you say Hill is a good manager and won't be going anywhere - thankfully.

 

You know what, yeahh I am over reacting and yes Keith is a good manager. We're just having hard luck at the moment, terribly hard luck. I wouldn't turn McCarthy down though if it was possible.

 

Selling assets too quickly is short sighted. Especially for the amounts we get. Did we have to sell vas te? No!

 

anyone who thinks that McCarthy would come to Barnsley is off their trolley. He has just been sacked by a premier league club - he has profile at the moment and will want another job with prospects of success, because as a manager, if you fail twice you vastly increase your chances of never managing again. McCarthy will know that, were he to be a failure at Barnsley he would have re-set his profile as an unsuccessful lower league manager - he may as well stop trying for others jobs after that.

i.e. he has a chance of another good job as the ex manager of a premier league team. He has no chance of another job as the ex manager of a crap championship team. Which top end championship side would appoint him when he's failed at Barnsley?

so stop harking after Macca because it will never happen.

 

our p i ss poor forms nowt to do with bad luck,,we simply havnt got the quality,no matter who is to blame

 

It is to do with bad luck though, losing Vaz Te and Butterfield being injured. They were key players when it came to winning games

 

Mario , can you show why you keep saying Hill is a good manager?
For a good manager he is doing a piss poor job at the minute mate. He is doing worse than any manager we have had since we got promoted during the last 20 games or so! I am struggling to see how he can be said to be a good manager.
Was the real Hill the one before xmas when we had Butterfield etc or the one that has brought the sub standard ones that played today?
I dont get the blind faith you keep showing! Yet you slated Robins when he did better at this stage last season. Can you remember telling me that Hill would not put up with the team sliding like we did last season? This year its worse and he has had 3 months to bring in players, January and the loan period, the ones brought in have been poor, so did he just get lucky pre-season?

 

I still feel that with his managerial past we couldn't afford him or presuade him, but what we got to lose by trying? If it takes just a rolling contract where if a bigger club come he can leave no questions asked for X amount of money, fair be it. For around 4k a week he might just take up the offer to put his hometown on his managerial CV. He doesn't seem the type happy being out of work, so i'm sure we'd be better than nothing. Nothing tried, nothing gained. If nothing else he'd get some optimism for next season which is massively needed.

 

McCarthy is only interested in premier league jobs, stated by himself the other week.

 

Mick was approached by Dennis several times to take over, but doesn't want to spoil the relationship he has with the club and its fans. Wise man.

 

Circumstances mate; just look at what he was doing before the heart was ripped out of our team. No manager with our resources could have kept a run going so I just think it's too soon to write Hill off. I still think he's the right man for the job.

 

You've contradiced yourself there

Had we not sold Vaz Te when we did, we'd have got nothing for him 3 months later.

Had we not sold Shackell we'd have got even less for him 3 months later, and nothing for him a further 3 months later.

Other than those two, who are the other assets we've sold in the last 12 months.

Before that, the likes of Bogdanovic, Howard and Hammill wanted to leave, all players who also had very little left on their contract too, so we took the money while we could.

The reason we lose players for peanuts isn't because we're Barnsley and we'll take owt, it's because we persist on giving players 2 year contracts, who then have have clubs chasing them after the first year has expired. Nobody (other than Man City) is going to offer silly money for a player who's soon out of contract.

We got all we could out of Vaz Te, the only way we'd have got more is if he'd have signed a new contract, which he said he wouldn't do.
