No Exile. It was just the shock mate. What do you think 'll happen now? If I were Hecky i'd bench him and play Mccarthy n' Pearson. Let him try n' broker another move or fight for his place. Either way Yiadom been left wi tail between his legs. May even sign a new deal n' apologise like kid did at Burton. Stranger things have happened in the Barnsley F.C soap opera.

I would not pick him! He doesn't want to play for us! If he changes his mind, he'll have to earn a place
Actually, I don't think he's defended well enough to play! Plus his "ill advised" sky interview was disrespectful and behind the club's back - sod him

I doubt that , earlier today Hecky said along the lines , if he stays here I hope the fans will back him , I think Hecky cud drop a ballack here if he does play him

& that interview by Yiadom on Sky in front of the whole nation was an insult & embarrassment to the club
Not in the same league as Hammill who at least was showing some fire for being substituted & not trying to screw then club
If Hecky isn't man enough to let it drop then he's a fool
Didn't Hammill apologise?

It's very strange one this. Usually when a player is close to leaving it's on the official website that the player has been given permission to speak to the so called buying club.

I agree he hasn't played well at all yet, he was toilet at Brizzle!
He has shown two fingers to our club with that Interview and trying to force a transfer, much worse than what Adam did against Newcastle and he did apologise.
Hecky needs to put his foot down here and play young Pearson against Ipswich and leave Yids out of the squad! Let him play with the u23's for a while he doesn't deserve to play.

I think we need to manage this with some common sense .

If he's failed a medical then it's our responsibility and duty of care to ensure the problem is diagnosed and the correct medical treatment given , we are paying his wages after all .

If the deals collapsed on personal terms then we need to sit down with the player and his agent and secure some sort of short term plan .

He's one of the best players at the club , throwing him under a bus doesn't solve the problem it only makes it a bigger problem and nobody comes out a winner .

There's nothing that can't be resolved here with a bit of compromise and common sense .

The squad isn't brimming with championship defenders at the moment , we need him and he clearly still needs us tonight as things stand .

Romared
11-08-2017, 10:48 PM
And what good would signing a new deal do ? Sweet talk for a few months ? It would just be a gesture to try and redeem himself to the fans , get rid quick , he shouldn't play again for us .

Roma

Every player at the club is for sale , the plan is to sell players .

When I hear the club come out and say nobody is leaving this club because we are building a squad to take us places and we want to keep our better players then fine .

If the deals collapsed and we still have a quality defender on our books then he plays , not tomorrow I'll agree but definitely on tuesday or the next game after that .

What's he exactly done here ? an interview to put himself in the shop window , the club would have sold him anyway regardless .

Treble my money and into the PL , can you blame him ?

What's there to stop here for anyway , meagre wages playing for a tin pot club ?

He's tied his colours to the mast , definately no way back for him , other players will have noticed how he has behaved , some may think twice now ? And be grateful , get rid of him out of the club as soon as possible , he's made it clear he doesn't want to be here ? Let someone who wants to be here and play have a chance , wasting time and money otherwise

Can't imagine some of you would be so forgiving if this had happened with Wednesday the potential buyer.???
Would you still be saying " What's he done here????"
Is it no different to what Winnall did?

(Go on then.........,Honest answers chaps?)

Nose cut off or not, he was walking away from us at a crucial time having seen us on our knees,
Badly advised or not, HIS PLUMS WERENT IN THE VICE on Tuesday nights interview and we all know it.
Can't imagine many clubs will come in for him if he's failed a medical, Championship or above. There's history with failed medical ruining careers.....( Didn't Asa Hartford have a problem with summation similar?).
Hope it isn't career threatening, I'm not celebrating either waŷ, he has a career and no one wants people to have that career damaged. I wouldn't want that at all.
Sometimes though, the football gods smite down the people who are prepared to bit the hand that fed them.

I'd put him on gardening leave for 4 weeks. Time to think and reflect.

Imagine what Fergie or Clough have done if he'd disrespected the club by listening to his advisers and saying "I want away" on SKY?

Best deal ever , if was offered anything like COG was alelegedly on he might have thought about it .

Get him moved on is fine by me but sticking him in the stiffs for a year is just plain barmy .

Its not a case of forgiving is it , it's a case of managing it professionally .

Fergie would have given him an almighty *******ing and that would have been the end of it , like he did with Paul Scholes early in his career .

Feck knows what Cloughie would have done , somewhere between punching him and kissing him most probably .

If the Winnall deal had fallen through then it's fallen through just the same , manage it professionally and find a win win solution .

Managing by punishment is not the professional way .

Managing it professionally like Conor did, and Bree ( a very young lad) did? Nah.
It works both ways does professionalism.

Badly advised or not, he did the shot to camera.
Professionally putting the middle finger up to the club, fans and owner.
He knew the move was going to happen, either Swansea or Them. Eventually before the end of August.
And he still put his face in the shot.
Not very professional.

Jules , what are we trying to achieve here ?

Make an example of him for wanting to exercise a move from a club whose whole plan is to sell footballers .

Just because he's acted unprofessional doesn't mean we have to , t it for tat , oh aye that's brilliant .

Two things here , he's a good footballer worth a couple of million quid , training with the stiffs for a year makes him worth feck all .

Secondly if he's failed the medical then that needs addressing for his sake and our investment .

Tha's got to take the emotion out of it , too much brass connected to this player to be playing silly buggers .

animallittle3
12-08-2017, 02:51 AM
I think we need to remind ourselves guys that it's not 1955 and Joe Richards isn't around to rule the club with an iron fist .

The players have all the power , Jean Marc Bosman saw to that , is it right ? , probably not , absolute power corrupts just like it did when the clubs fecked the players over before Jimmy Hill came along and had the maximum wage removed .

Tha's got to work with the conditions of the day .

Best way forward in my opinion with Andy Yiadom is this .

Yiadom and his agent sit down with Hecky and the CEO , Hecky reminds the player that his best opportunity to get a move to a bigger club and increase his earnings is to get his head straight and perform like he did last season .

That way we have the services of a decent championship defender and he puts himself back in the shop window .

We both win then don't we .

Sound like a plan ?

Jules88
12-08-2017, 08:27 AM
I get the t it for tat bit. It'll be hard to cheer him on knowing that he wants away...We have to sort it out. Sign a deal for a years extension, and commit this season, or sell to a club willing to take a chance at a reduced price. Staying and running contract down and going for free shouldn't be an option.

Old Goat
12-08-2017, 09:58 AM
If he wants away, the best way of doing it is to put himself in the shop window through good performances on the pitch. While he's doing that I'm happy for him to wear the shirt, I couldn't give a toss about the off-pitch antics. If he can't deliver the goods on match day, then that's the time to bench him and give someone else a shot.

He can do as many unofficial interviews as he likes but other clubs won't be interested in that, if anything stuff like that will probably count against him. You'd hope the club, his agent and his family would all be giving him similar advice rather than let the lad mess up a promising career.

Cast your minds back to last summer gents. Cryne, Hecky and Linton Brown hosted a Q&A evening in which they told us that Hourihane and Winnall simply refused to sign new deals offered.

Can someone tell me what difference there is between that situation and the Yiadom situation? Any fan who believes that players hold any allegiances to football clubs need to think again.

I think the whole situation is embarrassing for the player. A distinct lack of professionalism and respect but like I say, let's not kid ourselves that any of our players put in a situation like Yiadoms, where they could be on PL wages wouldn't jump at the chance.


If he plays then he should sign a new contract for me. If he's not in our plans by the time the transfer deadline passes wi art further interest, I'd suggest cancelling his contract by mutual consent. ;-D

Has it occurred to any one that BFC may be complicit in this little shemozzle encouraging Yiadom to go for a move & we do know about his injury [or at least we should do unless his mum has been sending "our Andy's been suffering with billious attacks" notes
after all we are a selling club are we not
My reason for saying this is the eerie silence on this subject from the club
In fact can anyone recall the club saying anything at all since the sorry saga began? apart from some nebulus offer allegedly made

Barnsley coach Paul Heckingbottom has revealed his disappointment in the attitude of one of his top performers last season Andy Yiadom with his move to Huddersfield edging closer.

The Ghanaian youngster is hoping to secure a dream move to the English Premier League this week.

Yiadom is capping off a remarkable season of moving from non league football to playing in the English top tier.

The 20-year-old has not been in the right frame of mind and has not been deemed fit to start games.

“We do not have some players in the right frame mind and that is disappointing,” He said

The right back enjoyed a stellar campaign where he played 33 times and even represented his country, Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Paul lad don't start trying to pillock us fans
Yiadom played pre season during his want away period
He played at Bristol
He played against Morecambe
So his frame of mind has only occurred after his move fell through & you make it sound as though he has not been fit to start games [plural]

It could be said that Mowatt is homesick for Leeds as well (and that he probably never wanted to leave them anyway).
But if thats true already about Mallan and that he misses St.Mirren wherever that is, then that is ludicrous.

As for the Yiadom thing, yes lets sell him immediately even if it is for a so called reduced price, Id take anything near £2.75 mill for him now. It won't end up being that much and it will only be Undisclosed anyway.

We're making guesses at the moment about one or two of these players being offloaded on or before Aug 31st.
If Yids goes we've got Pearson & Fryers. If Mowatt and/or Mallan goes we've got McGeehan, Moncur, Potts, Williams, & D'Almeida. If Payne goes we've got Bradshaw, Ugbo, Thiadom, Brown, and possibly Hedges.

Don't recall you telling me Acido but might be down to my memory so I take it you were born & now reside in the same area roughly]
Never moved off your own doorstep then
Total lack of sympathy with someone who has Acido
I'll bet he didn't know what to expect & he probably needs a fellow team member to help him along Hammill may help

Don't get ratty with me Acido in your earlier post you specifically said you had told me
I think your best course of action would be to accept that you were wrong regarding Mallan's homesickness
As I said you have no understanding on the subject
There I've made my point again Happy now?
My advice to Mallan would be to knuckle down to the task ahead do what he is obviously good at & immerse himself in his football
I'm sure there are at least 12000 fans rooting for him plus quite a few at St Mirren

'If' he is homesick he needs to sort his head out quickly if he can or his career could be spoilt greatly due to it.

Similar situation to Moncur last season. You can encounter certain problems with young men bedding into a new football club. Remember that George Best ran off back home to Northern Ireland from Man Utd homesick. I find criticism of homesickness pretty harsh to be honest, they're only human. A good footballer is a happy footballer. It's up to the club to try and make the transition as easy and comfortable as possible

Its a 4 hour train journey. Its not exactly other side of the world. He could easily go home a couple of nights a week. Its not as if they train everyday. I do sympathise but you'd think a footballer would have plenty of other things to occupy him given the good money they receive.

4 hours or 4 days doesn't matter Ponte

EXACTLY Ponty, it bugs me when these modern day footballers get wrapped up in cotton wool when they are on ridiculous money, the sort of money we could all only ever dream about earning.
And Yorkshireborn, you ask "would he be homesick if it was a prem club". Well thats a very good question, and it might be more relevant here than what we think.

I can remember a period similar to roma's experience when I was a lad .

My mam had to go into hospital for quite a while and my dad had to work , 3 shifts he did so there wasn't anyone to look after us .

Myself and my sister had to stay with an aunt in Shropshire for 6 weeks .

We had to be schooled there too for that period , it was horrible , hated it , missed my parents obviously and my mates , absolutely awful thing to go through in an area you don't know and when you don't know anyone either .

Like I said earlier Exile, we'll have to just disagree on this and Im certainly not going to waste my time arguing with you on this subject anymore, and I won't change my mind about it either whether you like that or not.

Roma, I just call most posters on Footymad 'kid' regardless of their age, its just a habit Ive got and I say it in conversation to people as well. And sometimes they also react like you just did, with shock. lol

I think Exile needs to switch to de-caff a bit and calm down here, or hes going to do himself an unfortunate medical based mischief!! :O
Either way (and Im being serious now), this is a subject I can and will forget about and not give a seconds thought about tomorrow.
None of us need to take this further into a nasty argument do we. Do you agree Exile ?.

Its up to Hecky to choose the best starting eleven, but Pearson and McCarthy have been growing in confidence in the last 3 home games. Under other circumstances I'd not want to replace either of them, but if Yids can get his head together and deliver the goods, then he could prove to be a handful for the Blades. Tough call though... glad I'n not a manager!
