Adam Murray

[Gruff]

Caretaker Manager at Barnsely..... Wow !!!

[MTFCMusings]

Adam Barrett at Millwall too.

[Parkinsons Perm]

Hope they've got 7-8 defenders on the books for his first team selection

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Good luck to him.

Despite what people think of Adam, he brought some of our better players to this club and his signings still play a huge part in our team.

[yorkshire stag]

Good luck Muzz

A massive chance for Adam Murray at Barnsley as caretaker manager after the sacking of Daniel Stendel. David Flitcroft succeeded in this role when taking over from his mate, Keith Hill, and then he obtained the job permanently.

Daniel Stendel won 31 of his 66 games at Barnsley, the third highest win ratio of any permanent manager in the club's history.

Can't seem him lasting long in the role and they will appoint a bigger name at some stage but good luck in the interim Adam.

[Amberheart]

Good luck to him , congrats Adam

[arsene wengers coat]

Wow. Well done Adam.

I still think he's got Future in management, he'll have learnt a lot from last time.

Maybe we could appoint their last manager.

[yellowstagsfan]

Good Luck to him !

[MTFCMusings]

I make it 9 managers in the EFL with Stags connections. Plenty of coaches too.

[Jamie]

Good on him and them... hope he does well and has learnt from the mistakes he made here.

[Spiritater]

hope barnsley don't get spanked 1-4 at home first game. if they do tykes fans'll be lucky to see their team in the opposition half let alone penalty area

Would we really be worse off if we kept Murray and didn’t bother with Evans/DF. I personally don’t think we would, Murray made some very shrewd signings, given longer and any of the recent budgets I think he would have done just as good if not better than the last two managers.

[Spiritater]

yeah righto

And an England manager in Ady Boothroyd

we were on the verge of getting relegated again the year Murray got sacked, we were headed for a battle at least and not at the right end of the table

Adam Barrett at Millwall too.

He was being touted for the Sarfend job last week

I actually think there is some merit in that. Although Murray was being cautious (to say the least) I don't think we would have gone down that year and I think the Radfords were probably turned by Fatty Arbuckle whispering in their ears. Evans didn't set the world on fire in his first season despite bringing in big budget players. Murray's players were better in the long run and he got them on a shoestring. With more money I'm sure he would have got even better players in and got the job done.

If the Radfords had the benefit of hindsight I don't think they would have got rid when they did. It's something we will never know but I do know that Adam Murray was a good servant of this club and deserves our thanks. I wish him every success at Barnsley.

According to a lot on here we are heading for relegation this year too but it won't happen now and it wouldn't have happened then.

Yes it would have (relegation battle), no matter how much you like Murray.

Back then even though we had a few decent players our squad on the whole was poor, and Murray’s management was negative - there’s no getting away from that. This year we know we have a squad capable of being at the right end of the table.

Made me laugh too, only a win over Tranmere kept us up ?

That was the year before when he took over from Cox. He then had his budget cut before Fatty Arbuckle took over, spent a fortune and made little progress.
