    But I’d guess it’s written by a Leeds fan having a good laugh at Barnsley - but disguising it skilfully.

    Feeling very bitter at the moment at what’s going on at Barnsley.
    Over 10,000 STs sold on the premiss of good things to come - and again we have to start a fresh this season.

    We can’t keep going on like this - at some point the directors will appoint a bad manager - and we will be back to square one again struggling in the relegation zone.

    As I feel right now - if I could get a refund for my ST then I would do.

    I’ll think about it then.

    Barnsley is a medium sized town.
    But in terms of football fans living in the town it’s massive.
    And the main reason we don’t get over 20,000 each home match is because many supporters in Barnsley have deserted the club …….. because of days like these.

    What do you want the club to do Nudger , handcuff Val to the Ponty End goalposts so he can't leave ? .

    Personally speaking if he doesn't want to be here then it's best he goes .

    Good luck to him and I think he'll need it at the Hawthorns .

    Not certain everything is quite right there considering three have already turned the job down including Appleton at Lincoln .

    Not to mention the fact the squad at WBA aren't exactly schooled in Val's style of play from what I gather .

    He may be back home with his wife and kids in plenty of time for xmas .

    A panic appointment by WBA in my opinion and I'm pretty convinced they haven't factored in why Val was so successful here .

    We already had the players here who fitted his methods .

    True.
    But that’s the reason I mentioned Brentford.
    They have had prolonged success in the Championship.
    And I know they have lost managers.
    But they don’t lose them every 10 months like Barnsley.
    We have had a short period of success and it’s thrown the club into absolute turmoil.
    It’s embarrassing.
    And it’s sickening.

    The owners may not be here in a few years
    Thease players wont be here in 5 years.
    Guess what....
    WE WILL BE HERE ......
    We are BARNSLEY
    Weve seen off Sutcliffe and Thatcher. It'll take more than this to stop us.
