IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I agree but when the end of the season comes will he have his head turned by similar offers ?? Its also now time for the directors to ensure the team are kept together for next season regardless. No, I think by the end of the season he'll be getting better offers....but I also hope that our stock will also have increased by then and Terry will want to take us to Europe. There's plenty going on behind the scenes with player contract talks and things and I believe the Directors will be doing everything within their power to keep as much of the team together as possible. Are you referring to Terry Wogan or Terry Butcher ? Where are the Muirfield Mills when ya need them most ? Perhaps TB is sacrficing himself as the compensation from Barnsley will pay fer new contracts for the players.

Things could get "better" if at the END of the season we were still in a top four place, even better if second and in the Champions league - had made two cup finals and won at least one of them. Barcelona would be in the feckin hunt then !!

Not crazy, just in denial From a psychological perspective he is not the first and will not be the last who has been ensnared by a narcissitic personality.

Does anyone actually believe that McKay, Warren or Draper have the know-how or ability to save Barnsley ?

Sadly not when you have narcisstic traits. From a psychological perspective somebody or something has seriously fecked TB off and I think that he is also the type of individual who would play the - "if you dont give me what I want (or what I need) then I will look somewhere else" card.

We are all concentrating on Barnsley - the bottom line surely is - what is he NOT getting from ICT ?

He has only really had one blip in his career when he was evidently not fully psychologically intact.

My brother in law is in close contact with Mr Martinez at Wigun and - for all betting punters here is a tip - Ruben Baraja. Does anyone know what Richard Gough is up to these days ?

I hope that he stays - as he deserves to be part of how this season ends up - irrespective of the outcome. He is evidently a major cog in a finely tuned team improvement. I would also be surprised if he left from a personal perspective as I thought that he appeared to be very settled in the area and he could add to his income by increasing his media outings, which I doubt any of us would disagree with. My fear is that he may have his own vision of where ICT should be going and how to get there and others may disagree - again even if it was from a financial perspective. That would cheese off anybody and I could wholly understand why he would go in those circumstances. Again unfortunately TB has evidently shown his interest in moving and it is now up to Barnsley to sell themselves to TB rather than vice versa. And if that fails then he will be in the shop window for any Championship or League 1 jobs coming up in the future. I would prefer to lose him now rather than in 2 or 5 weeks time. My other major concern is how this squad of players will react to his departure. He certainly appears to have bonded a "togetherness" and I would suspect that several are staying at the club because of an affinity to TB. Again I would not whollt lament the departure of Terry and Mo if I knew that the current squad was going to remain intact. But there again the writing must have been on the wall for the players when TB went in the fray for the Ipswich job - Lets face it he is offski - if not now in the near future. He certainly has improved his CV at ICT and went a way to demonstrate that previous posts were potentially not as disastrous as they looked. Again I fear that he flattered to deceive at ICT in a tactical sense. There is no doubt that he has charisma and charm and can "talk the talk". To many he was, is and always be an iconical figure. I am slo led to believe that he was a disciplinarian and stood his ground. From the narcissistic profile perspective (seriously) he may now not adequately feel the love and devotion and needs a renewed challenge to endear himself - and where better in the staunch English bastion of Barnsley where most supporters will remember the old centre half and will idolise him from the off. If he has put in a view of the future and has been rebuked then that would be a major blow to his super-ego. His name and manner alone will be an attraction and lets face it barnsley want an appointment tomorrow. The "bottom line" to me is that he is not a tactician and never will be. The signing of the likes of Draper, Raven and Warren were NOT of his making although his "name" linked with the SPL would have been a major positive. The formation that has become so consistent was as much created by injuries and suspensions than anything else and he still struggles when we have to change personnel or tactics I actually suspect that the players have had a big say in the style of play. But I doubt if there are many that would say that they did not enjoy the full Butcher experience despite its rollercoastering journey. Lets just hope that whoever takes over has that extra bit of tactical know-how but holds on to the present squad at the same time. As fer timing this is the worst possible moment - and fer that reason alone Butcher will be letting us all down if he jumps ships, irrespective of whether there are hidden agendas or not - and he may well scupper the rest of the season at the same time. And finally please, please tell me that our illustrious board have secnd guessed this and have a list of nominees waiting in the wings - the last thing that we need is to be managerless or be led my Mispass for the semi-final.

Unfortunately there is another "rumour" in Lancashire that TB is interesting Blackburn and Blackpool - and the former may be a put off due to the ownership but the latter is a tastier option.

The Coia Bus - Bingham Legend and the drums - Congas - Harry's Bar and that great terrace at Ayr - the Alamo - Gretna Away - the chosen few in midweek at Dumfries and Berwiick - February 8th,s picture posts and prevention of the streak - Squirrel baiting - etc.

Don't fret - I will continue to act in a consultancy role and can take over if necessitated !!

Threads about the merger.

I am reliably informed that it is Danny Dyer.

Apologies my aunt has just informed me that she pulled the catheter off after I left and did a big wee.

It is called baiting Mun. But I wonder what the compensation package will be as they gave to the Jam Tarts ??

Barnsley in Europe ?

I have just been to Tinkerville to see my auntie and it was fair chucking it down. However I managed to persuade the family to go to the toilet in Sneck and they were ordered to hold their bladders and their bowels when we got to the caravan. I also used my nursing skills to catheterise my auntie so I have done my bit to keep the game on.

Well that would be a no brainier to most but I am reliably informed that Barnsley are offering a substantial compensation fee for TB !! Personally I doubt whether they have the necessary reputation to draw his attention but the better he does the more he is going to put himself in the shop window - so thank feck for the spondoolicks being quietly sneaked in by the Muirfield Mills mob.

Gudgies are far too fick to comprehend geological reasoning. The simple explanation is that the Legoland stadium doubles up as the latrine collection point for the village. You can see the rivers of urine and excrement flowing over the railway bridge and down towards the Jail End on the sunniest of days.

Well spotted Uncle Fester

Who? Me? Why? Cos I feckin lub ya and you are the best biter ever - I bet we would get off singing that ditty !!!!
