    In Ritchies eyes - if the team that was succesful at Cardiff were good enough for the Championship
    And Barnsley have more or less sacked most of that squad
    Austin, Kay, Tonge, Richards etc etc etc.......

    Why didn't Ritchie try to get them all playing at 1st Division Huddersfield ???
    Championship players should do well in a lower league.

    Or is there more to this than meets the eye ???

    That would assume he didn't think any of the players he currently has at Huddersfield were up to the standard.

    Why bother.

    Poor guy seems to have some issues that need resolving.

    Issues................Yes

    We had a near disasterous season last season..........Why ???
    Last season could have pushed the club back 30+ years to the dark ages of the late 60s and early 70s.
    I'm sure there's more than just me interested to find out what happened and why ???
    Would like to hear from insiders to try to solve the puzzle

    fair point

    I heard Simon Grayson on Sky sports saying he was happy in the main with his squad that got them promoted. So obviously he's really out to destroy Blackpool FC. Jesus truly wept.

    RE: Issues................Yes

    Pre-season optimism appeared to be unfounded.</p>

    Seems straight forward to me.</p>

    Do you think there was more to it than that?</p>

    We stayed up !!!

    Is that the only interest you have got ???............'we stayed up'

    Surely you can think beyond this and are wondering - what happened last season and why was the WELL in such turmoil ???

    Don't think this turmoil is over yet.........we are starting the season with nearly a NEW team
    When we should have been just adding to the squad that did OK last season
    I really beleive its going to be at least another 2 seasons before we can start building on sound foundations
    And this stems from Ritchies reign at the top.......so anybody got any info that can shed light on the Ritchie time
    As anything new come to light ???

    And as far as Huddersfield are concerned..........we went up they didn't
    So wouldn't Ritchie be better off with some members of his old Barnsley buddy squad
    Nothing to suggest he has come in for them is there...........why not ???
    For example, Hudders clear out.............ex-Barnsley players in

    You are clearly mental.

    And not even a happy mentalist.

    Grrrr.
    That pesky Andy Ritchie getting us promoted & then wanting to support the players who got us there.
    He should be shot.

    And that rotten b4st4rd Danny Wilson.
    He got us bloody promoted too & wanted to support the players that got us up ... but by the time he'd brought better players in we were doomed.
    It's his fault we got relegated & subsequently went into adminno.
    He should be shot.

    I love you.
    You're just great.

    ritchie at the top?

    I think you'll find that ritchie was a mere manager at Barnsley football club. The man at the top is called Gordon Shepherd.

    But don't forget that Young Nudger also said that ritchie didnt sign anybody while at Oldham either, well apart from the 30 or so signings that he made....

    Your lack of a grasp on reality never ceases to amaze.

    You seem to think Ritchie was a secret agent on a mission to destroy Barnsley FC.

    Smoke my bello.

    We'll be in hell-o with rello - but he thinks we'll sello our players, like Kello, to a song by Marti Pello (a very nice fello) whilst eating jello.

    But if we winno - it's a sinno, 'cos Nudger will binno his season ticket.
    There'll be a dinno when we're in adminno - our club will be finno.

    Kinell fire sideways.

    RE: We stayed up !!!

    Yes my only interest is that we stayed up last season. Very little else matters because it was job done, and we move on this season. SD took over, rushed some signings through.</p>

    My confidence for this season is so far good, and will be even better should we get another 3-4 signings. Yes, it is going to be a new team, but if the quality is there, and the five week training plan SD's got in place goes to plan then it shouldn't be an issue. The board have stated cash is available but not at the risk of going way into the 'Red.</p>
