well i wouldn't have sacked o'driscoll for a start.but assuming he left anyway after 7 games , i would have gone for a manager with a proven track record in the football league. someone with experience. someone who would fancy the challenge. not a bloody joker like dean saunders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McKay plan with an actual manager might've worked.

If not, what would you have done to reduce the losses?
have the losses actually been reduced though??????? or is that just the spin that J.R. puts on it in an attempt to protect saunders and the failed experiment??????????if we want to reduce losses properly , then we should have a fire sale. we dont need a football agent to do that for us.

thats why we have to blood the youth team. players like liam wakefield , brad grayson , etc. they are the future of this club not has beens like chimbonda and diouf and habib beye who get a contract off their reputation.
I argued at the time we should keep our manager so I'm not going to change my mind on that now, not least as he'd have had several key players back a couple of days after he was sacked (and I'd just sanctioned the signing of a striker).Going forwards, I'd have told him he would probably need to sell players without saddling him with a number of ineffective and cumulatively costly imports via an imposed strategy.Moreover, I might have listened to him on certain matters in the summer....
So come on then anti Saunders / McKay and thus Jr what would you have done!?!

Replaced SOD with a manager who had worked in the Football League and who was aware of the financial situation.Barnsley managed to pull this off to replace Robins.

Barnsley look like, on a reduced budget, surviving once again in the Championship.They lost Butterfield injured and Vaz Te transferred.Keith Hill has done an exceptional job, and any Barnsley fan who isn't satisfied is delusional.If Barnsley can cope without a man from Monaco and a non-league management novice, then why can't we? Why is this idea that the McKay plan was the only viable alternative thrown around by some. Absolute garbage.
if barnsley get relegated next season though what model is there to follow then????????surely the model has to be breaking even and running the club on a self sufficient basis.
