Last updated : 28 October 2002 By Mad Tyke

John Beresford has refuted allegations that the duo were not serious in their desire to begin a management partnership at Barnsley.

On Beresford's website www.officialberesford.com the former
Portsmouth and Newcastle star who was a crowd favourite at Oakwell confirmed his desire to be given a chance to manage the club. He maintained that he and fellow ex-tyke - the Barnsley-born David Hirst - could form a successful partnership.

In the Tykes-Mad new manager poll, Mick McCarthy and George Burley gained the most votes.
