Hodges: Wheeler and dealer?

Glyn Hodges has been appointed manager of Barnsley until the end of the season after four months in charge as caretaker manager.

"I speak to (new owner) Peter Doyle on a daily basis as we're working on trying to get the transfer embargo lifted and lining up players we want to bring in," Hodges said.

"In a quick meeting he told me I had the job until the end of the season and if we can get some new faces in we can start looking to improve results.

"Results will determine whether I get the job for longer, but I've taken it on and despite the way things have gone since I took over I have enjoyed it.

"Now I've a chance to wheel and deal we'll see how things go."
