Well i just got home from work too find that Barnsley have sacked Andy Ritchie Although we're near the bottom at the minute we have played some half decent stuff at home without getting the results - and he was responsible for one of the best days/weekends in my life at the play off final in Cardiff in May - just shows you no job is safe

 

bit of a joke these days they was they just sack the managers.....


thank god he didn't come to us now

 

Well i'm just disappointed we didn't get Ł200,000 compensation from Wednesday and then him take you down too - that would have topped my season whatever happens to us

 

i can imagine but i think where going to be ok now

 

Cant believe it me....

 

Interesting debate on Radio Sheffield though - i'm glad he's gone

 

Might of been one of your best weekends ever but it was one of my least fav!!!!!!!

Bayo akinfenwa misses, then walking through your lot to get to our mini bus!!!!!

If we pull our fingers out we'll be up there next year.

 

fill us in craig

 

Well they had a 90 minute phone in, fans for him and against him, but they had interviews with the owner Patrick Cryne, a couple of players, pundits etc and i think the consensus was he had to go - roll on Friday - get the Chron

 

Biggest load of papp i've ever listened to mate.

Note the intellectuals they actually let on the air. Thats so difficult questions can't be asked cos there feeble brains can't think.

Also the money thing

If you were the manager of a football team and you had x amount of pounds to spend to improve the side you'd spend it. You'd get the chance to work with better players, build a nice squad, get results and enhance your rep. To suggest that he didn't want to spend the coin is ludicrous.

What money he will have had would have been to sign non leagues finest and those animals that play sunday league pub football.

I've heard there's four new loan signings coming on Thursday all from Athersley Rec. Should be fit for setdi if they survive the bare knuckle fight comp in the Welly friday neet

 

Thought they couldnt spend until january anyways...

 

few people from barnsley here then!!! LIKE ME!!!!

 

Dave hes a toe rag - hes got 8 fringe players he never uses taking up a big chunk of wage bill, heckingbottom, richards & wright i wouldn't pay out in washers, defence is non - existent after 18months - and he was about to sign Cadamarteri who was released by Bradford a team a league below us, and it's right he wasn't fit anyway....time to move on cause the ship is sinking

 

andy ritchie was a legend up here as a player,even though he played for a mediocre team,hear theres a vacancy at hearts though,good salary but fuck all job security

 

I'd have to disagree. If he had money to strengthen his squad he would have done. If the ship is sinking i'd look at the board/owner. You pay peanuts, what do you expect.

 

your just a small club from a small town anyway dont worry about it lads sheffield is 10 mins this way

 

We have pleny of spare seats in Hillsboro to accomadate you all, don't goand watch the pigs, they are getting relegated

 

Thing is mate we are. People still live off what happened 10 years ago. We've just come up and we're struggling, as expected. Fourth bottom is a good season.

 

Same as us, annoys us when fans think us at Wednesday are a "Big" club..... were not
