What a remarkably bad appointment. 

I mean it says a lot that his stock is so low he is having to go for it. He’s been a few agent for ages, if he was truly up for it and keen, why wasn’t he through the door months ago? 

To be fair, any professional manager should be capable of getting you promoted next season*, but he’ll need binning almost immediately as he’s not the answer to progress through the Championship.

There must be a capable up and coming young manager in League One, Two or the continent who is worth investing in to grow together with.
 

*subject to sensible transfers.

Why would Stockport agree to release him on a free when they were almost certainly going to get some compensation for him?

Not that much now the incompetence of the players and upper echelons getting us relegated to Division 1, here’s hoping we get a very Rich Billionaire come in and take us from the grip of the Tyrants that are ruining our club I honestly think we will go into administration this coming season & the EFL will love that to happen to us !

What is this based on? Administration of one of its member clubs is a disaster for the EFL and hold up a torch to its inability to regulate properly.

Ah, fair enough, apologies, misread your post.

This current season they are in a Division up, Premier league cheapest season ticket is £732, which is 81.2% more expensive then our £404 

It’s not. £380 for a season ticket at Newcastle*

*Although that is the last two rows at the top of the stadium 

Our family area tickets are also £507 for an adult.

You could try something like this?

Genuinely do not know where you go from here. I thought our support was tepid at times and impossible to galvanise into a force capable of making it hostile enough for Ashley, but those Facebook posts are depressing.

People are just dangerous not comprehending that the best way to “support the club” would be to force change rather than sitting back and watching relegation after relegation, points deduction after points deduction.

I think we'll be operating in a slightly different market. We'll be the biggest club in League One and will aiming for an instant promotion back to the Championship. There are quite a few managers who would be interested in that gig but wouldn't particularly fancy Barnsley.

Whilst I don’t disagree, some people in this thread suggesting people like Martin, Rosenior or Gerrard will have a rude awakening about the different market you’ll be operating in.

Personally think you need an upcoming young coach with a good philosophy and evidence of working with a young squad and building morale and harmony. There is very little of that in this country, maybe someone like Challinor (but not convinced you’d pay for him or he’d come) so I’d suggest plucking someone out the second division in Germany or a seasoned number 2 with a good reputation.

I don’t know enough of that level to have an informed opinion but good evidence of it working out in Eckert and others.

Last thing you need in this mess is a recycled manager from the lower leagues.

Rowett definitely threw Winks on as you’re winning and he can’t be ****ed with staying on next season.

You accept it but sob throughout?

This is clearly the start of one of the most incredible turnarounds in history. You can just feel it.

Less goals

Less shots

Less shots on target

Less passes attempted

Less passes in final third attempted

Less crosses

Less tackles

Less successful tackles

Less fouls

BUT Leicester are ahead on throw ins.

You can just feel the urgency.

Just to add that we haven't won 3 consecutive games all season.

Never mind this season, last time it was achieved was April 2024. 

The big question today is, vegetable soup or chai tea in the flask?

It's tin pot. Proper champions would have gone for the win in my view. 

Think you need to put the phone down and go to bed mate.

What a limp way to go up. Playing it round the back for 10 minutes to get a draw against a side in the bottom 6 who weren't even attempting to press. 

I mean when you only need a draw, what do you expect?  If they needed a win and were winning 1-0 would you criticise them for not trying to win 2-0?

I mean grasping at straws, Blackburn won’t need anything on the last day and we still “might”.  Them being safe does play in our favour a tiny bit.

 

But yeah 

 

It’s grasping at straws 

I mean it’s a good line of thought.

Watford, QPR, Sheff Weds, Preston and Swansea are all currently fighting for what exactly?

They don't look very good either even 2 draws would take it to the last day if we manage to get 2 wins out of 3 again massively unlikely 

Winning 2 out of 3 seems slightly unrealistic when currently on a run of 2 wins from 18 games.

With the score currently a draw, would need 2 wins and 2 draws or 3 wins from the last 4 games to get above Blackburn… also assuming they get nothing against Sheff Utd and one of those wins comes against them.

Getting on the verge of 5,000/1 stuff again.

This is set up perfectly for Blackburn to win, isn’t it? All the big build up for Cov.
