Because he did well for us, got sacked at a poor time and carried himself with class at all time despite some fans embarrassing themselves by abusing him all the time.
Don't get the obsession with posting links or references to Collins... Why? The vast majority of fans wanted him gone and their behaviour towards him toward the end of his tenure (despite our league position) was out of order but yet now they can't leave him alone, obsessed much?! He basically took the blame because JAQ and Neerav were shitting it that the fans would turn on them! I wish Neil all the best because the way the club shat on him was ******* disgusting.
Don't waste your time Dreamy!. None of us have to support former managers and players of course when they have gone. But I agree about Collins conducting himself well through it all. Despite the constant appalling comments aimed at him, while we were still winning and keeping the promotion hopes alive. And also how and when his sacking was handled.
Neaw don’t wish him any ill but let’s face it he is one of the worst managers in recent Barnsley FC history ! Carried himself off well ? He was deluded his bizarre post match press conferences from the off told me all I need to know. Before you said he had us finish 6th that is a massive failure not a success, I think Asbaghi would have got us promoted last season
