I bet Burnley ,Boro and Hull are distraught.

So great he didn't get Hughton a decent striker in January.

You can almost taste the bitterness from some on here who loathe Barber. Very amusing.

I just wish we had a football man running the club and not a bean counter.

Not sure if you're being deliberately stupid or you're actually uninformed...

Someone who would NOT tolerate charging fans a booking fee for a print at home ticket for a start.

Really should know better than to feed a troll, but, I'll bite...

1. Barber is 'running the club' in so far as he is the man at the top. He's universally lauded as being very good at this job.

2. In what respect do you consider him to not be 'a football man'? Along with being well qualified for his actual role, he has an entire career's experience in the football industry.

3. Oh, you mean understanding of the actual game? Well, he also has all his coaching badges.

4. Genuinely, who did you have in mind, to run a football BUSINESS, with an eight figure budget? Kerry Mayo? Gary Hart?

The only measure of SUCCESS is on the pitch and so last season rates as a FAILURE for EVERYONE including Barber

Good to see Neil Shipperley enjoying his retirement.

 

[Chicken Run]

Oh for the love of Mary.
That's just great.now we'll have The Albion Bore blowing scented smoke up His Ring.
If scrimping and squabbling over an extra fiver a week for a striker that would've seen us over the line gets Him an award we should all be proud.
MY ARSE!

I'll have to admit I haven't always. There was a point when it looked like we were recruiting yes men and poor players and I genuinely wondered about the strategy. Have to say I've done a 180 though and am more Barber In than ever. I will always judge a leader by how his team performs and a football club by results on the pitch and how the fans are treated off it. Based on all of those it's a well deserved award.

I suppose that's the danger of having a director of football. Budgets are set by CEOs and recruitment traditionally dealt by the manager. As such, the DoF's role gets overlooked between two very important positions, which cloaks their failures.

As soon as Burke came, the ship begun to sail in any direction. He goes, we're back on track.
