Yes fingers crossed he stays.
But - if he does go I’m sure the directors have identified future head coaches that will do a brilliant job.

Swansea players return for pre season training tomorrow (Friday) and then off to Spain on Sunday for "warm weather" fitness training.

Miguel Duffo expected to be on plane.

Devaney leads Barnsley players up and darn Doduth Muckstack and then a portion of Dave Shaw's finest at the chipoyle. Ahmad exclaims "Aaar Much !" on seeing receipt.

Ive read hes taking the backroom staff as well so I guess that means Devaney at the very least.

I’ve no doubt he’ll tell them he’s there for the long haul.

[Young_Nudger]

I met him - I even bought him a pint - did I like him - NO - I thought he was a sly shifty character.
But I didn’t say anything on here at that time because it would not have gone down very well.
Am I surprised he’s jumped ship after just one season - not at all.
You could just tell he was here for the short term.

However, he did a great job at Barnsley turning the ship around very quickly.
In saying that he had the players to win games comfortably towards the end of the season including the final but as I said at the time he always played safe.
That didn’t work out for him in the final.

Am I sorry he’s gone - yes.
But only because continuity in the camp has been broken.

Do I think we will get someone as good if not better - well there’s always the risk that we won’t - BUT in my opinion I think we definitely will.

And the reason I’m confident of that is that the Barnsley style has been reintroduced this season with the players again knowing their role.
All it needs is a head coach that understands the high press system to slot straight into that position.
That’s the beauty of the Barnsley identity - individuals on the train might change but the train remains on track.
(except for the Conway season of course 😊 )
