He'l be on his way back to Vale Park

One less club waiting to apply pressure after the playoffs.

there seems to be a reason why bury havent given richard barker the job, if there holding out to see if coley comes available it kind of makes sense.

they have always been complimentary of coley.

I cannot see why Richie Barker has not been offered the job either other than he is unproven at the next level, but there again so is Coley. The guy wins 6 out of 7 games, gets them auto promotion and yet the club are allegedly looking for a new manager! Just does not make sense at all.

Barker has no experience of actually picking and signing players. The squad was Knill's. What Barker did was galvanise and motivate them. Up to then he was a relatively new youth team coach. Do you take a chance of somebody inexperienced in management or try and find a more experienced manager, who could probably fail just as easily

Probably the best example might be the bloke at Reading ( can't remember his name ), but he did have years of experience working at the club with previous managers.
