According to Alan Nixon, Barnsley could turn to MK Dons leader Mike Williamson in their search for a new manager.
Following the departure of Neill Collins, Barnsley is presently led by interim manager Martin Devaney.
Following their Saturday draw with Northampton Town, the Tykes have once again advanced to the League One play-offs, where they will meet Bolton Wanderers in the semi-finals.
According to reporter Nixon’s Patreon page, they are Williamson fans at MK Dons.
Barnsley are interested in hiring Williamson as their League Two manager, although their first goal is to gain promotion to the Championship.
They lost the final against Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley last year and will be hoping to win this time.
Williamson is also preparing for the MK Dons play-offs. They finished fourth in the fourth division and will play Crawley Town over two legs.
The 40-year-old played for Southampton, Portsmouth, and Newcastle United before retiring. Gateshead gave him his first managerial post in 2019, and he led them to promotion from the National League North in 2022.
He also led the North East side to the FA Trophy final last season before being attracted to the Football League.
The former Premier League defender has done well with MK Dons, winning 20 of his 36 matches in charge so far.
However, Stockport County, Wrexham, and Mansfield Town finished ahead of the Dons.
They may face a battle to keep their head coach this summer, with Barnsley connected with a move.
