Edgar Davids was a Dutch football manager and former player. He managed Barnet FC in League Two, where he achieved 25 wins in 68 games as a manager, plus one goal and five red cards in 39 games as a player. However, his time at the club ended after he missed several away games due to personal reasons and was ultimately sacked by owner Tony Kleanthous. Davids left Barnet with mixed reviews from fans and players alike.

omg did u know edgar davids used to play football 
? like a pro or wut? i just watched this video of him playing for ajax and he was so fast lol! anyway, apparently he had a rough time at barnet fc 
. 25 wins in 68 games is like...not bad, right? but then they sacked him 
. i dont get why tho, if u r good at ur job, cant u just keep the job? plus it sounds like he was really dedicated to the team and stuff 
. fans and players had mixed feelings about him tho, that's kinda cool, right? 
but honestly, who is this edgar davids dude and why should i care 
?

but y'know, personal reasons can be tricky to handle and maybe tony kleanthous just needed someone more reliable 
anyway, gotta respect edgar for takin the job in the first place, not many ppl take on a team that's strugglin like barnet was back then

I mean, 25 wins in 68 games as a manager isn't bad, but it's also not exactly a record-breaker. And then you have the player stats... five red cards? That's just crazy!
It makes me wonder what happened behind the scenes that led to his sacking. Personal reasons are always a bit vague, so I'm curious if there was more to the story than we're being told. Either way, it seems like Davids left with a bit of a mixed bag of emotions from both fans and players. Not sure what's next for him, but maybe he'll bounce back and do better somewhere else? Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed! I mean, what's up with managers, right? One day you're on top of the world, the next you're outta there 
. Edgar Davids seemed like a solid guy, but hey, we've all been there, done that... or at least, I have 
. It's tough to balance personal life and football responsibilities, especially when things aren't going your way on the pitch.I feel bad for the fans who were expecting more from him, though
. They invested time and energy into the team, and it's natural to want results. But let's be real, nobody's perfect 
️. Davids had his moments, but it seems like he just couldn't get it together at Barnet.It's funny how things work out, though. You might think you've failed or messed up, but sometimes that's just a stepping stone to something better
. We'll never know for sure what could've been if Davids had stayed on longer, but I'm sure he learned from the experience and moved forward 
. That's all we can do, right? Keep moving forward and hoping for the best 
.I don't get why football teams can't just have a backup plan for when players are gonna be missing games. I mean, Edgar Davids got sacked 'cause he couldn't show up to some games... that's just poor management if you ask me . And 5 red cards in 39 games as a player? That's like, a lot of yellow cards turned into red ones or something... was the referee having a bad day or what? I guess it all comes down to how things are done at Barnet FC, but as an outside observer, it seems like they could've handled some things better.

so hes there for like a sec and wins 25 games out of 68 thats not bad right? but then hes gotta leave cuz hes missing away games due to personal stuff idk what that means but i guess its better than some boring reason like "he was sick" or whatever and he gets fired by the owner which is super harsh
anywayz fans and players r like all over the place about it some people think he was a great coach but others think hes trash idk lol i dont have an opinion on it cuz im just a normal person who likes football but has no idea how to manage a team or anything

I'm not sure what's more surprising about Edgar Davids' stint at Barnet FC - his managerial skills or how quickly he got sacked . On one hand, 25 wins in 68 games isn't bad, especially considering the team was in League Two. But on the other hand, missing out on away games and getting a few red cards might have been a bit of a recipe for disaster .
I think what really worries me is the state of mental health and work-life balance. Davids had to leave due to personal reasons, which makes you wonder if he was struggling with stress or burnout
. As someone who's passionate about mindfulness and self-care, I feel like this is a big red flag for us all. We need to make sure we're taking care of ourselves, both on and off the pitch, before we start making decisions that might affect our careers or well-being

I gotta say, Edgar Davids' stint at Barnet FC is like a microcosm of the whole football management experience. He comes in with high hopes and achieves some decent results, but ultimately gets knocked off due to personal issues and fan pressure . It's like he couldn't quite find that balance between being a good manager and keeping his personal life together.And can we talk about the fans and players leaving mixed reviews of him? That just says a lot about how high expectations were for him, you know? Like, what was expected from this guy who used to play at the top level?
It's always tough when your past achievements come back to haunt you.But hey, I think it's also worth noting that Davids is trying again after all these years. That shows a lot of courage and resilience, even if he didn't quite cut it out this time around
. Maybe next time he'll have the perfect blend of managerial skills and personal stability 
.man... remember when football managers were just about the game, not politics 
like Edgar Davids, he played and managed some decent teams back in the day, but now it's all about drama and sackings he was at Barnet, which is a small club, you'd think they'd want to keep someone with experience, but I guess that's just not how it goes down anymore 
25 wins out of 68 games, not bad, but one goal and five red cards? that's what really gets me, the game's supposed to be about skill and sportsmanship, not getting sent off left and right and yeah, fans and players had mixed feelings about his time there, I can imagine... he was a bit of a divisive figure, but still, you'd think they could've worked something out

So he's this football manager dude who had some decent stats at Barnet FC, but his whole tenure was basically a mess . Like, 25 wins in 68 games is pretty meh if you ask me. And to make matters worse, he missed like half the away games due to personal reasons... that's just not something I can relate to or understand at all 
.
And then there's this thing about him being sacked by the owner for missing too many games... it's just so weird. Can't he just have some balance in his life or something? Anyway, what's crazy is that fans and players both had mixed reviews of him... like, can't we all just agree on one thing here?
I mean, I guess it's not really the forum's fault that Edgar Davids was a hot mess of a manager. But still, it's pretty wild how something so random can spark such heated debates online... and honestly, I'm just over it all

and all those red cards as a player? that's just askin for trouble . fans r always gonna be harsh but i think he got what was comin to him leavin' like that. personally think owner tony kleanthous handled it pretty well, gotta make tough decisions tho 
. anyway, i dunno wot else 2 say about this dude .
