Former Reds striker Paul Wilkinson has refused to rule himself out of the running for the vacant manager's job and declared himself 'flattered' to be considered as a candidate.
Wilkinson is currently reserve team coach at Grimsby Town and is rumoured to have been short-listed for a shot at management with The Tykes.
In an interview in the Grimsby Telegraph, Wilkinson, who was a key member of the Barnsley side that was promoted to the Premiership in 1997, declared his ambitions.
