Oh dear!!
To West Brom.
Oh dear!!
Really bad news if it happens.
Another upheaval at the club.
Another head coach means another personality the players have to get accustomed to.
I know it’s extremely difficult when we have any success - as other clubs are swimming in money and as such are able to attract our success to their clubs - but at some point we need success coupled with a period of stability.

Discussions ongoing over the issue of compensation.

I've seen the reports that West Bromwich Albion are moving for Valérien Ismaël.
I have been told that there has been no approach from WBA to Barnsley.
I understand there is a release clause for him but that has not been met.

Good ,,
Terrible news......but its not a done deal.
Our last head coach and the current one have been sought after by other clubs due to the fact they done a brilliant job at oakwell. I'd be disappointed to see Ismael leave but what can we do? If he leaves we thank him for his excellent work and contribution to BFC. We move on, go again and try to find another high press head coach who will slot in to the clubs ideology and ethos.
Ismael has brought a clever angle into how to get the best results with the squad we currently have. That's been the difference to take us into the upper echelons of the championship table. Let's face it, nubdy had heard of our last 3 head coaches but between them they've all contributed very well and brought success to the club and built us into a solid championship team.
Obviously I'd like Ismael to stay but if he dunt then we've got to trust the consortium to make the right decision moving forward.
Maybe murray may get a chance, he's got to have some knowledge gained with previous managers so maybe we might not get anyone else in straight away, were gonna keep the press,we all want to see more football played in there half, and we dont want to play it out frm the back at present although kitchen maybe a tidy player.
I don't think Murray should be HC Rascal. He should remain in his position in which he looks to do very well. If Ismael does leave then we can hopefully hire a new HC before pre season starts and give the guy time to get his ideas across to our players in time for the new season. Let's see what happens mate
Good to see WBA finally got their first choice, long time target Valerien Ishmael to become their new manager/head coach.
Well first choice after Wilder, Wagner and Appleton, but still first choice after them.
Bye Val and thanks for the memories.
Now please can we have a manager that plays football instead of kick and rush.
