Shame.
Feel sorry for the big guy.
Maybe they want to speak to The Quitmeister General before Plymouth can speak to him?.
Although The Independent this morning was speculating that Paul Hart is being lined up for it?.
Where now for Mr G?.Will anyone else give him the chance?.

Its a weird old game football, isn't it? What other profession sacks senior staff with such regularity who are then offered jobs elsewhere - in some case within days or weeks.
We sack GT who is employed by Barnsley who then sack him and replace him with Hart who has just been sacked by Forest, having turned down the Leeds job. Forest replace him with Kinnear who has been sacked by Luton.
Glad Quitters hasn't got a look in though.

shame for GT, but they have been on a bad run..and the whole Isiah Rankin affair can't have looked good.
Paul Hart...well he'll do alright many forest fans sorry to see him go & less than 6 months ago was being linked with Leeds job

For crying out bloody loud - that's pathetic. How the hell can they sack the guy who's turned them into play-off challengers, considering the season they had last year when it was a real possibility they could have been relegated? THEN consider that they were in administration for a while! They deserve to fall flat on their arses for this. Parallels can be drawn to Huddersfield when they sacked Super Lou and kicked their own arse in the process. I honestly don't know what the hell some chairmen expect these days. The mind boggles.  ???   Good luck to Gudjon. |

I'm surprised it took so long. I thought Ridsdale would get rid of him when he got control of the club. Early season results saved him. Since GT spent a bit of brass on Stallard & Boulding things have gone tits up and Ridders patience ran out. Obviously it looks like Hart was approached before GT was sacked, that's out of order . Gudjon may have to go back to fish fondling in Rekjavik  . |

Feel sorry for the guy. Seems as though Barnsley had a faint hope for the play offs, but don't feel Gudjon is the right man. Their fans were coming in the message board praising G earlier in the season. How times change. Jon |

They started the season well but lost momentum and couldn't get it back. Sounds familiar!! The Isiah Rankin thingy suggests he might have lost the dressing room as well.

This was always going to happen the moment results dipped, Gudjon not being Ridsdale's choice in the first place.
Instant Karma really - Gudjon got the Stoke job as a result of a takeover and he's essentially lost this one for the same reasons. So it goes.
I like the bloke a lot, though, and wish him all the best.

Its a real shame for Gudjon but this was always going to happen. Ridsdale 'inherited' Gudjon when he took control of the club and was always looking for an excuse to get rid of him. He couldn't do much while results were so impressive but Barnsley's recent slump, culminating in that thrashing by Grimsby, have given him the perfect opportunity to act.
Also, Paul Hart becomes available and he was with Ridsdale at Leeds. I doubt Hart will be a long term appointment but Ridsdale has probably told Hart that he can rebuild his reputation at Barnsley and then move on to a bigger club if he does really well. The arrangement suits both parties.
Gudjon never really stood a chance. A shame really because I've always thought he is a top bloke.

I love Gudjon but he wouldn't have been sacked if things had carried on going really well.
His recent record was very poor though.

Reading the Barnsley message boards, it appears that opinion is as split amongst them as it was/is amongst us regarding Gudjon.
Among a few of the positive opinions is that he's a really nice bloke who loves the club and wears his heart on his sleeve.
The negative opinions surround his poor tactics and negative approach, especially against lowly teams and playing certain players out of position.
Sadly, it seems as though Gudjon hasn't learned the lessons which blighted his time at Stoke, particularly during the 2000/01 season.

lets face it, personaly i dont think he should have been sacked by stoke, he stuck 2 his 3 yr plan be in division 1, but no, the bord werent happy, personaly i tihnk something else went on, but lets got in to that, if he didnt go, we wouldnt have half the team we got now, if quitrell reamined we wouldnt have made any of these signings, if burley came, we wouldnt, so in a way im glad he went, but i still feel sorry for the poor bugger, hes a top bloke
