John Barnes to take over at Tranmere

[Cheeky Monkey]

That came out of left field. Have to say I like Tarmac (as he was known at Liverpool - the black Steve Heighway), but thought his managerial chances were dead after the Celtic debacle.

 

[Without Limits]

Brilliant news. We can only PRAY that John will rap his verse in "World in Motion" to the Tranmere players as a team talk every week. I know I'd be motivated by it. In fact, I'd be so pumped up I'd rape the opposition goalkeeper.

I cant stop laughing at this

Likewise. Has he had any other coaching type jobs since then?

Highly respected in the game, a forward thinker with dynamic coaching techniques, he could be a big hit at Tranmere.

I would love to hear his team take:

You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
Theres only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Catch me if you can
Cos I'm the england man
And what youre looking at
Is the master plan
We aint no hooligans
This aint a football song
Three lions on my chest
I know we cant go wrong

Sounds like Tony Adams could come in as his number 2...

Just Southampton.

They complained that Ronnie Moore only got them to 7th in the division

 

[Icy Gull]

Without wishing to say anything negative...thank God he's not Brighton manager.

I love John Barnes! if his channel 5 football punditry is anything to go by though Tranmere could be in for a struggle! and they've lost Anthony Kay to Huddersfield! Their mental if they think they're finnishing top half, let alone improving on 7th with ronnie!

He's managed Jamaica for a while recently. No idea how he did.

You've got to love his rap.

 

[Mackenzie]

I bet the Tranmere fans are well chuffed about his appointment!

....one less team for us to worry about then!

Won 7 and drawn 4 of their last 11 games, they've been practically unstoppable recently.
