Thomas Christiansen was the fall guy. Poor honest fella tried his best but was completely out of his depth. He had the rub of the green in those opening seven games but those results flattered to deceive as the other teams were just warming up, so to speak. It was only a matter of time before he was well and truly exposed as naive and ineffective for the English Championship.
I’m neither convinced nor confident about the new man. He leaves Barnsley in a precarious position although his advocates are quick to point out that Barnsley sold off most of their important players, leaving him with bare bones. Somehow, I don’t trust a man who jumps ship after four days of signing a new contract! As has been pointed out, he begins his tenure at a distinct disadvantage – given the catalogue of suspensions and injuries.
As long as the obnoxious Orta continues to wield the power he has, I cannot see our beloved team making progress. The man’s influence is poisonous and I am at a loss to understand how a seemingly astute businessman like Radzianni is allowing this unhealthy situation to prevail. Just what is Radzianni’s fascination with this slimy figure?
At the end of the day it’s, once again, the long suffering faithful who have to endure sustained heartache and uncertainty.
