What the fuck do some chairmen want...?? He got them promoted at the first time of asking & I doubt they have much of a budget. Just glad we have the owner we do....😉
You see I agree about Bowyer setting a high bar for others to look at and compare to.
However, they’ve scored the least and conceded the most so far this season. They also spent about £5mil in the summer and haven’t won a game since the opening game of the season.
If they want any chance of staying up, they have to part ways because he doesn’t show any ability in being able to turn them around.
If Barnsley had finished in the play offs last season and not gone up, he'd likely have kept his job and they would probably be battling again for promotion this season.
He did even better and got them promoted, now gets sacked because they're not mid table.
It's a cut throat results busines where some owners pull the trigger quicker than others. Nathan Jones has been at the other end of the spectrum at Stoke, whilst Solskjaer and Marco Silva might not be so lucky.
very odd how Barnsley looked and played very good football last season, yet this season they are all at sea and sinking fast .. I imagine, but don't know, that once a team is in dire straits, the manager in place finds it very difficult to address the problems and change the situation for the better .. it's a tough game, and Barnsley are just following the present trend, i.e. when in doubt, chuck the manager out
See what a change Cowley has made and even more apt, what a difference Bowyer made to struggling teams
Many fans would blame the club's recruitment policy not the head coach for the circumstances they find themselves in.
Barnsley use a 'Moneyball', spreadsheet model for finding players. Not all of them are going to work and trying to make the ones that do arrive work in a harder division than League One was always going to be tough.
Thank god we have Steve Gallen in charge of recruitment now
remember how other big clubs, e.g. both Sheffields, Leeds, us, found it so diffucult to get out of L1 .. Gary Rowett would be a decent choice for the Mackems, but not sure he'd want it now he's getting a few TV gigs .. whoever goes there will still be on a restricted transfer budget come January
BUT remember, they are still in a play off spot .. perhaps being beaten by the mighty Lincoln Imps was the final straw ((:>)
Thought the Stendel decision was tough - thought he had them playing decent football last season but goes to show Moneyball can come back and bite you when you dont get it right. Talking of Moneyball, Brentford, i thought, were very good against us earlier, so, who is in charge of their Moneyball?
Well I'm blowed Jack Ross gone, never saw that coming..,,,,,,,.next! 😉
- Of current teams within the top four tiers of English league football, only Liverpool (1) and Manchester City (6) have lost fewer league games (excl. playoffs) than Sunderland (7) since Jack Ross was appointed ahead of 2018-19

Just say you sacked him & move on.
Stendel spotted out for a romantic meal with Sunderland?

They don't blame Stendel for the poor results. Not happy with recruitment policy and owner from what I read

Irrespective of whether he does go back Silva must surely be a dead man walking.

On a serious note they could do a lot worse than Stendel who just left Barnsley, or even Phil Parkinson.

Mark Hughes favourite to replace him

Gobinson who?
