    Good manager.
    Did well for us under difficult circumstances.
    As have all the managers that Patrick has appointed.
    Hecky is the best of them - but he has also had the benefit of a different recruitment strategy.

    They'll be up and around the top seven next season and a much better appointment than Teddy Sheringham.

    I didn't expect him to get another managerial job. However, good luck to him.

    I'm guessing they have a stupid amount of money to blow then

    I think he's one of those managers who's worse when they have money to spend. He's a great motivator and I think he could do a good job for someone, as John Dennis said of Mel Machin. I thought he came across really well in that reds report interview, humble, affectionate towards Barnsley, and passionate in general and I wish him well.

    Good luck to him, a promotion and a great escape for us in under 4 years as a manager, not surprised someone has took a punt on him.

    They needed a manager, he's a manager.

    Perfect fit.

    Agree 100%

    Surprised he has got another job in football tbh.

    Although at that level I suspect tub thumping can get you a long way.

    I'm not surprised he's got a job at all. Done well for us (for a bit anyway) and Bury. He'll have been improving tactically over the last few years. Definitely done better than lots of managers who are still on the merry-go-round!
