Next question: Why on God's earth was a player so desperate to leave appointed as captain?

The club suggest he's wanted to leave since the summer after rejecting any contract negotiations.

Surely the worst possible type of contender for a captaincy?

Oooohhh how I'd love to interview you now Simon, you've never even been in a real interview.

 

was davey even aware of the situation until last week?

The statement on the barnsley site doesnt suggest that he was which is weird

 

Maybe it was to try and convince him to stay.

Don't know like, just having a guess.

 

If he wasn't then there's even more seriously wrong than I thought

Such a decision can have such a negative effect on the team.

However, I'm fairly confident that the other players and manager, if not having been told directly, would have picked up on it.

 

Load of ballax

If you have to resort to that you get rid.

Not having a go at your suggestion mate, just at the idea someone might do that.

 

You never know with Davey's wierd ways. nt
