    One of the most disgusting things my club has ever done. I feel a great sense of shame.It might work it may not but at this moment I just feel anger and shame of the timing.

    Definitely understand the frustration especially lately but I wouldn't have done this until after the season. Feel for Collins, seems a decent person and gave his best- would've sacked him if we miss out on playoffs or knocked out of first round but personally felt he had enough credit in the bank for at least that.

    Let's see what happens now either way!

    "Neill has been extremely professional throughout the period with which I have worked with him, he has done everything he can do to push the team in the direction we all want Barnsley to go. He has conducted himself with professionalism and commitment throughout the period I have worked with him. However, with a crucial season conclusion ahead of us, we feel that now is the right time to make a change."

    That is, without a shadow of a doubt, the most ridiculous statement I have ever read.

    Can only think this has been done to unite the fan base for the final push.

    I can only guess something kicked off behind the scenes. Weird team selections, weird post match comments, terrible results and poor player body language.
    Like you say, probably deserved the last match, so can only guess that he had lost the dressing room.

    We’ve done a fair few things that have shocked me but this might just top the list. I can’t believe it.

    Absolutely astounded at that. He should’ve been here until the end of the season choose when that is. As always, we move on. COYR

    Think the press officer could have polished that statement a bit - no need to take it verbatim when it doesn't read very well.

    Whatever your feelings on the wording of the statement, or the timing of it, it was coming one way or the other. We have a massive game on Saturday, one we simply must win. We stand more of a chance of that happening with Collins being nowhere near the dugout.

    There cannot be one single person that's witnessed our performances over the last however long that would've genuinely believed he'd be the man to get the team fired up for Northampton. They had no choice. I'd have been more flabbergasted if he'd have been stood there silent, with his arms folded on Saturday.

    I was going to watch on ifollow, but I may get a ticket now.

    By the way, nobody feels good about a man losing his job, so please don't reply with that angle.

    COYR!

    The only thing wrong with the timing is it wasn't announced around 5 pm on Saturday. There is no loyalty in Football. If he had been doing well he would have left us at the first sign of more money elsewhere. We shouldn't be showing him loyalty either. We are four games from being promoted and he wasn't the man for it.

    Not saying you personally, but I ‘d wager there are plenty happy about him losing his job. I’m certainly not one of them

    It's the "now is the right moment to make a change" bit. With one game to go that can secure the playoffs? It's beyond nuts.

    I’m actually laughing here at the utterly ridiculousness of it all.

    remember when Birmingham sacked a manager for being in the play offs….

    1 game left, possibly 4… 5th in the league….

    Collins is the scapegoat. Perhaps would have made more sense if ALL the first team coaching staff had been dismissed and Tom Harban/Nicky Eaden had stepped up from up from the Academy
