Nardiello upset with Tykes chief
Striker Daniel Nardiello has expressed his disappointment at comments made by Barnsley chairman Gordon Shepherd over his recent move from Oakwell to QPR.

The 24-year-old had a change of heart over Barnsley's offer of a new deal.

Shepherd had criticised Nardiello, claiming he had given assurances that he would only leave the Tykes for a club closer to his Midlands home.

"It's not as black and white as he's trying to make out," Nardiello told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I' suppose I have to take his comments on the chin, but I'm disappointed with what the Barnsley chairman has said.

"He's made promises to me in the past and not kept them, but I never made a fuss and just got on with things.

"I didn't like the way he treated my mate Chris Shuker a couple of seasons ago either."

Shuker left Oakwell for Tranmere last summer under something of a cloud.

The winger was offered a new contract, but the offer was withdrawn after he failed to respond within a set deadline, and he later moved to Prenton Park.

    • QPR head of youth Joe Gallen has left Loftus Road, having served the club since October 1998.
