Description

In the wilderness for nine years but Barnes is back – with a tough job at Tranmere – ready to bring more spirit, joy and positivity to the game. After all that time, after nine years of rejection, what does it mean? It means cycling to work last Thursday morning and being stopped outside a filling station by an elderly man. “Good result,” he says of the 4-0 League Cup win over Grimsby two nights before. “I enjoyed it, I’m a Tranmere fan.”
