Edgar Davids' time at Barnet: Captain, player, manager, number one

Edgar Davids' managerial career was marked by controversy and inconsistency. He managed Barnet, a team in League Two, for two seasons before leaving with 25 wins in 68 games. During his time at the club, he had a number of issues, including missing away games, taking time off to attend to personal business, and being sent off three times.

Davids' exit from Barnet was announced hours after the team lost 2-1 at Chester, leaving them 10th in the table. The fans were frustrated with him missing games and not fully committing to his role as manager.

Despite his controversies, Davids has nothing but respect for Kleanthous, the owner of Barnet, and has remained a fan of the club. He has also gone on to manage other teams, including Olhanense in Portugal and the Netherlands national team at the 2022 World Cup.

Overall, Edgar Davids' managerial career was marked by both highs and lows, but he remains a respected figure in the football world for his passion and dedication to the sport.
 
man... edgar davids just left barnet after getting benched like 3 times lol ๐Ÿคฃ i feel bad for him cuz he did manage some decent games but yeah inconsistency is huge problem especially when you're managing a team u gotta stay focused & lead by example... anyway i heard he had good vibes with kleanthous the owner which is cool, shows u can still leave on good terms ๐Ÿ™
 
I feel bad for Barnet FC fans ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ† - they deserve better than someone who's always off playing the field or getting sent off! ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ Edgar Davids' departure was pretty much a ticking time bomb, and it's no wonder he got booed out of town โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‹. That 10th place finish wasn't exactly the most inspiring for their fans either... ๐Ÿ˜” But hey, at least he's moved on to bigger (and better?) things ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’ช, and I'm sure Kleanthous is still looking for someone who can bring in more wins than losses ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ‘. Edgar Davids may not have been the most reliable manager, but he's still a legend in his own right โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฅ! #FootballFrenzy #ManagerialDrama #BarnetFC
 
I mean, Edgar Davids is like that one uncle who's always showing up late to family gatherings... err, I mean, games ๐Ÿคฃ. You get this sense of excitement when they're doing well, but then you're left feeling frustrated and disappointed when they're not pulling their weight. He's got a lot of heart for the sport, but sometimes that passion can tip over into recklessness ๐Ÿšจ. It's like he needs to find that balance between being passionate about the game and actually showing up on time (or even completing the whole season without taking time off ๐Ÿ˜’). Still, you've got to respect the guy - he's a true football enthusiast at heart โค๏ธ.
 
You know, I've been thinking about this whole manager thing and how it affects the game... like what does it really take to lead a team? It's not just about winning or losing, but also about showing up when it matters most ๐Ÿค”. Edgar Davids' story is a reminder that even with the best of intentions, things can still go awry. He was passionate about the sport and genuinely cared for his team, yet he struggled to balance that passion with the demands of managing. It's a tough balancing act, you know? And what does it say about our expectations as fans when we get frustrated with someone who puts their heart on the line? It's like, do we want them to be perfect or just show up and try their best? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole Davids thing ๐Ÿ˜‚. He's got this reputation of being all over the place, showing up late to games or skipping away matches altogether. I mean, 25 wins in 68 games at Barnet? That's not exactly a ton of success if you ask me ๐Ÿค”. But at the same time, you gotta respect the guy for sticking around and giving it his best shot.

I've seen some pretty grumpy comments from the fans, but I get why they'd be frustrated. Who wants to pay money to watch someone who's not even fully invested in the game? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Still, Davids' passion for the sport is what keeps him going, and that's something we can all get behind ๐Ÿ’•. He may not have been the most reliable manager, but he's definitely a reminder that football's supposed to be about having fun ๐ŸŸ๏ธ.
 
Idk about this guy Edgar Davids... I mean, he's gotta be one of the most inconsistent managers out there ๐Ÿค”. One minute you're winning games, next minute you're getting sent off or skipping away matches? ๐Ÿ™„ And then you leave a team on the brink of disaster and just walk away? Not impressed ๐Ÿ˜’. I get it, everyone has ups and downs, but this dude's record at Barnet was pretty rough. 25 wins in 68 games is not exactly something to brag about ๐Ÿ“Š. Still, can't deny the guy's passion for football... that's what keeps him relevant, right? ๐Ÿ’ผ
 
So Barnet's new manager is gonna be someone else now... I mean, it's not like Davids didn't have his fair share of problems there lol. 25 wins in 68 games? That's not exactly impressive if you ask me. And yeah, missing away games and taking time off for personal stuff isn't exactly what you want from a manager. Can't say I'm surprised they let him go, though. The fans were probably getting a bit fed up with all the drama. Still, gotta give it to him, he's still got love for the club, that's nice. And hey, at least he went on to manage some other teams, so that's something, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š
 
I'm still trying to understand what happened with Barnet FC under Edgar Davids... ๐Ÿค” 25 wins in 68 games is actually not that bad, considering they were in League Two ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. It's just a shame he didn't fully commit to his role as manager and missed away games too often โฐ. You'd think with all the experience he had playing for big teams like Ajax and AC Milan, he'd be able to get it right at Barnet ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. I mean, 3 send-offs is a bit excessive though ๐Ÿ˜ณ! Despite all the controversy, I still love Davids for being passionate about football - he's got heart โค๏ธ.
 
Edgar Davids seems like one of those characters who can't catch a break ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. He's got the passion and dedication, but sometimes it feels like he's not fully committed to being there for his team ๐Ÿ†. I mean, missing games and getting sent off is just not gonna cut it when you're managing a team ๐Ÿšซ. But at the same time, you've got to respect him for trying ๐Ÿ’ช. He's had some great successes too, like with Olhanense in Portugal ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น. And who knows, maybe he'll turn his managerial career around and do something amazing ๐Ÿ˜Ž. The fans might be frustrated now, but they still love the guy because of his love for the sport โค๏ธ.
 
I'm tellin' ya, there's more to this story than meets the eye ๐Ÿค”. I mean, think about it, Davids leaves Barnet with 25 wins in 68 games, that's not bad, but what really caught my attention was him gettin' sent off three times ๐Ÿ˜ณ. That's a whole lotta red cards, you know? And he does this right after they lose to Chester, like he's tryin' to send some kinda message or somethin'. I'm not sayin' he's cheatin', but... have you seen the way that owner, Kleanthous, is always smilin' and shakin' hands with all these rich sponsors? ๐Ÿค‘ It's like he's got a connection to the big boys, if you know what I mean. And Davids just happens to leave with a decent record and still gets to manage other teams? That's some suspicious timing right there ๐Ÿ‘€
 
Wow ๐Ÿ’ฅ - I mean, can u believe this guy had like three send off's in one season?! ๐Ÿ˜‚ And missing games without notice? Not good at all... but at the same time, 25 wins in 68 games isnt bad lol. He must've done something right ๐Ÿค”. Anyways, glad he stuck with Barnet despite all the drama and has respect for Kleanthous - that's class ๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
I dont get why people still give him gigs after all that drama ๐Ÿ˜’, like how many times can u miss games and take time off? u gotta be consistent if u wanna manage a team properly ๐Ÿค”, but at the same time, he did have some decent wins at Barnet so i guess hes not all bad โšฝ๏ธ, and its cool that he still supports the club even tho his tenure was pretty shaky ๐Ÿ’•
 
I mean, can you imagine if you're leading a team and you keep missing games? Like, what's your plan there?! ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ I get it, life gets busy, but as a manager, you gotta put in the work, you know? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Davids had some decent wins at Barnet, but all those absences and ejections just raise questions about his reliability. Still, you've got to respect him for staying loyal to the club he loves and moving on to bigger things. And hey, managing a national team is no joke! ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ But maybe next time around, he'll find that balance between work and life. Fingers crossed for him, I guess ๐Ÿ˜Š
 
man I'm so over these football managers who can't even get it together ๐Ÿคฏ like edgar davids left barnet just hours after they lost 2-1 and that's just super unprofessional, i get he had issues but missing away games and taking time off is just not cool โฐ๐Ÿšซ

but at the same time you gotta respect him for going on to manage other teams like olhanense in portugal ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น and even the dutch national team at the 2022 world cup ๐ŸŒŽ that's some serious experience, but yeah his time at barnet was just a mess ๐Ÿ˜‚

anyway i feel bad for the fans who stuck by him despite all the drama, they deserve better โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’•
 
I feel bad for Barnet fans, man ๐Ÿค• They deserve better than a manager who's always off playing games ๐Ÿ“บ. It's like, you're supposed to be leading the team, not taking time off for personal stuff ๐Ÿ’ผ. And missing away games? That's just not cool, you know? ๐Ÿšซ But at the same time, I can understand why Davids would want to do his own thing, we've all been there, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š Just wish he could've found a balance between his passion for football and being a decent manager ๐Ÿค”. Anyway, it's not like he's the only one who's had his ups and downs in management - I mean, we can all learn from our mistakes and move on ๐Ÿ’ช
 
lol @ Barnet fans expecting more from Davids, tbh, 25 wins in 68 games is nothing to sneeze at ๐Ÿคฃ. I mean, he's still got a rep as a tough defender from back in his playing days, so you'd think that'd translate to some sort of managerial magic ๐Ÿ’ซ. But nope, it seems like Davids just couldn't get his head around managing a team on the pitch ๐Ÿ™ƒ. Still, gotta respect him for keeping it real and owning up to his mistakes โ€“ ain't nobody perfect, right? ๐Ÿ‘
 
Can you imagine being the manager of Barnet FC and having that many controversies surrounding you? ๐Ÿ˜ฉ I mean, 25 wins in 68 games is pretty decent, but the stuff about missing away games and taking time off is just not cool, you know? It's like, you're there to lead the team, not take a holiday ๐Ÿ–๏ธ. And three red cards? That's some serious disciplinary issues ๐Ÿ’”.

But hey, Davids has moved on and done alright for himself, managing other teams and even the Netherlands national team ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ! You've got to respect his passion and dedication to football. And it's awesome that he's still a fan of Barnet FC, showing that he's not all about winning at any cost ๐Ÿ’–. Guess you can't please everyone, but still, 10th in the table is no picnic ๐Ÿ†
 
I think it's wild how some managers just can't seem to get their act together ๐Ÿคฏ... I mean, 25 wins in 68 games at Barnet? That's not bad, but considering they were struggling mid-table, you'd expect more from the gaffer ๐Ÿ˜. And yeah, his attendance record was pretty sketchy โ€“ missing away games like that can really ruffle fans' feathers ๐Ÿค”.

But what I love is how he still holds it down for Barnet and their owner, Kleanthous โ€“ that's class ๐Ÿ™. He may have had his ups and downs as a manager, but the guy knows his football ๐Ÿ’ช... and hey, he did manage some high-profile teams like Olhanense and the Netherlands national team ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ!

Still, you can't help but wonder what could've been if he'd just got it together for Barnet ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Maybe the club was too big for him? Or maybe he just needed a bit more time to settle in? Either way, Edgar Davids is still an iconic figure in football โ€“ we love the passion and dedication ๐Ÿ’•!
 
๐Ÿค” I think its funny how Edgar Davids had a rough time managing Barnet... 25 wins in 68 games isnt bad tho, it's more like Barnet needs a new manager lol. Seriously though, missing away games and getting sent off 3 times? that's not exactly the kind of leadership you want from your gaffer ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.
