The Lilywhites have won only three league games this season and lie 21st in the table, with only goal difference keeping them above the relegation zone. </p> Simpson took over from Billy Davies in June 2006 and took Preston to the top of the Championship in November but a slump saw them miss the play-offs. </p> Assistant boss Rob Kelly will take temporary charge of the first team. </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
I Wouldn't Be Surprised To See Them Go For Him He's highly thought of there, liked by the fans and doing a great job with us. I'd have thought he would be a good option for them when you consider the crap being linked to jobs.
RE: "He's highly thought of there" Their chairman was in that hotel room with the Oldham players that he imagined that time.
If S.D wanted to go then let him, he can't be saying one thing and thinking another. personally i think he's done nothing to warrant any team coming in for him at the momement, although He has had strong connections with Preston, Barnsley F.C are now His Team that He has built He's a man of his word? Lets hope he is . This season is only the start of rebuilding and eventually greater things to come for S.D and Barnsley F.C
RE: "He's highly thought of there" In fact, for once, Dreamy is correct. Added to that, Davey travels over from there every day with some of our other coaches. Reckon he wouldn't go though cos he's been treated so well down at the well.
I would be staggered if they did! Still we could get Mr Jones from Cardiff then in a managerial merry-go-round
