Junior wanted out from Oldham. He prepared a 'First 100 day plan' for Barnsley whilst managing Oldham. He also applied for the Brighton job but they didn't like his '100 day plan' so turned him down. He spent more time dreaming of Barnsley and Brighton than what he was paid to do. Focus and manage Oldham. Am I surprised ? Nah - it's in the blood.
No credit in how he handled the Ched Evans situation, or how he's gotten a club with 3k crowds a game, non existent budget to in and around the play offs the whole season? Like It or not he's one of the hottest young English managers in the football league right now.
The Ched Evans situation saved him. The Oldham results from the end of November till the Evans story broke. Lost, lost, lost, lost,lost,draw,lost. Some of the scores : 4-0 at home to YEOVIL and 7-0 at MK. The rat jumped from a sinking ship.
Or he's just trying to better his career with a club that'll more likely succeed in the long term. Lets not forget his side helped us a lot by beating Swindle recently.
