What is the latest news and transfer rumours at Barnsley right now?

Barnsley’s season did not go to plan the season as they finished bottom of the league after winning just six games, suffering relegation to League One. 

The Tykes dismissed manager Poya Asbaghi just before the end of the season as he failed to change the club’s fortunes but they are yet to appoint his replacement.

However, the club will no doubt be keen to get a replacement through the door soon as they look to start rebuilding their squad ready to compete in League One, in the hope that they will be able to come straight back up.

Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours coming out of Oakwell at the moment.

Manager

In terms of the managerial search, it doesn’t feel like an announcement will be coming too soon.

According to the Yorkshire Post, the Tykes have not yet finalised their shortlist for the manager’s position as they want the process to be “thorough”.

According to journalist Alan Nixon, the club have five potential candidates now having made contact with Burton’s Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink and Cheltenham Town’s Michael Duff, as they asked their candidates to fill out a questionnaire in order to judge compatibility.

Martin Deavaney who was in charge for Barnsley’s final games of the season was also thought to be on the list for the job permanently despite losing all three of the games he was in charge for.

Meanwhile Chesterfield’s Paul Cook is another reported candidate despite the fact his side are currently competing in the National League play-offs.

Although you can understand the want to be through, the Tykes really do need to be appointing a manager soon otherwise they will find themselves falling behind with the transfer window which won’t help any efforts to return to the Championship
