Is Barker Leaving?
Although unconfirmed, talk among fans has picked up pace over the last few days — receiving a mixed reception along the way.
Barker, from Aston, will leave his current role as assistant manager of League One side Charlton, where he has been Karl Robinson’s number two since following him to the capital from MK Dons in December, 2016.
Barker racked up over 150 appearances for the Millers during two spells, scoring 18 times.

His contribution has been immense in ensuring the success of this football club and I'm not surprised he's in high demand. Best of luck to him.28

The fact that Rotherham is considered at good move speaks volumes for the omnishambles of a club we have become.8

He is from that part of the world though, and played for Rotherham so that may be an attractionsoapy_jones said:The fact that Rotherham is considered at good move speaks volumes for the omnishambles of a club we have become.
And Rotherham might still be a division above us next season ......0 -
If he does go it says a lot, in that he's moving as a number 2 to a number 2 so it's not about getting a managers role.
It could mean a number of things;
1. He knows a buyer is in the waiting and therefore likely to get a new management team in
2. He knows that they are done here and Robinson is soon to be on his way out (but no change of owner).
3. He to me when I met him seemed a down to earth, knowledgeable football guy. Therefore it could just be like the players in the dressing room he can't wait to get out of the toxic club we've become. It's a job after all and life is too short to stay somewhere and get up and go to a job you hate.
Obviously I'm hoping it's 1. above but deep down suspect it's number 3.
Or maybe it's all just false truths as they now seem to say!1 -

Or he might want to move up north. We have had experience of those types before.0

Congo Chris in as number two. Robinson gets sacked. Congo Chris becomes interim.
It's all falling into place. Well done Roland. You probably see this as success.3 -
I sense one of those internet quiz questions, name every coach who has worked under RD in 10 minutes...ForeverAddickted said:

I'm more of a David Martane fan. Though I might be mixing him up with Guy Kiala.BigRedEvil said:Jose Jeunechamps to replace him hopefully

be Assistant at Charlton or no.1 at Rotherham?
No difference in those two moves for me.0 -
I am sure Robinson will soon do an interview explaining how he asked RD to let him have Driesen as the replacement in his coaching team.5
