If this is true all the talk about his loyalty to Barnsley is *****. The club has stood by him through his recent piss poor results. I agree if he activated the clause sack him if he comes crawling back. Time for us to move on. Lets hope we get someone decent.
When you say activated his new release clause..... Assuming you mean leeds did. Did one exist before?
Mmmm.. well it seems unlikely to me that Hecky hears that Leeds have sacked their manager and then decides, more or less immediately, to get in touch and say "can I have the job?" If he indeed did something along those lines, after signing a new contract with us last week, it would be very hard to retain any significant respect for him, wouldn't it? It can't have happened as such.....not with him being "one of our own" and all that...
