Totally agree. This man is not capable of taking us forward. And what's worse is that we have a team of poor to average third and fourth tier footballers now. A disaster for a new man coming in. I wont be renewing my season ticket.
If we sacked Keith Hill we really would be in the **** The squad he's put together is terrible. It really is by far the worst in the Championship. By miles. Thing is though, Keith has got a history of getting poor and average players to play above themselves. He's not doing it at the moment but we've got to hope he can do it again next season. If another manager came in and had to take on the squad we've got we'd sink like a stone, out of the championship and straight through the division below. We'd be ******. We've made our bed, we've got to lie in it.
Re: If we sacked Keith Hill we really would be in the **** Keith lost these players he brought in and he chose to replace quality with dross from the lower leagues!! I dont mind players from league one or two as lobg as the spine of the team is made up of experienced players which it.isnt.which is why we are in free fall imo!! For me Keith has to go but then again I didnt want him in the first place!! We have to win Saturday if we dont I seriously believe we will go down!!
thats right right redstar,keith hill didnt want them to go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but i fear that the club signing players that go on to have a decent half season then being sold will only have a long term negative effect,fans will get sick of it,,the whole club is slowly becoming purely a 'academy' and thats not the way forward...and i dont swallow this punching above our weight c rap either,,,after having a good look at leagues 1 and 2 there are only the 2 sheffield clubs and charlton that can have any real claim to being 'bigger' than us,we are in the championship because thats where we belong.
Are we blaming Keith for Vaz Te leaving? Leicester throwing money at a promotion push? Leeds scum crippling our captain? And injuries to two other key players? I'm sorry to break it to the people who hate him, but those things were not his decisions. Look what he did at the start of the season, until our midfield was ripped out of the team, we were aiming for the play offs at one point. So yeah, let's sack him, I'll quit my job as well, in fact, let's all quit and march through Barnsley until Cryne throws £10m at Gary Megson or someone else who is famous, then we can sign premier league wannabes, pay excessive wages and transfer fees, then watch our club die. I love Barnsley, the players, the management, the board, and every single other person who helps our club achieve everything it has. I couldn't give a **** how many points we get compared to last season, or the season before, as long as we stay up. If we go down, if we lose every game for the rest of time, I'll still be sat in my seat. Look up 'support' in the dictionary.
Letting Vaz Te go was a bad decision. We really needed him for the last part of the season. Particularly with what happened to Drinkwater and Butterfield. Compare a small transfer fee to the lost money finishing a good 8 places lower than we could have. Then add in the lost season ticket sales money due to the completely uninspiring disastrous run since Christmas and well, surely you get the picture. Short sighted. Personally being satisfied with staying up was fair enough for 2 maybe 3 seasons but come on. How many teams have come up and gone on to show us how it's done. Unless I'm missing something we are not progressing. In fact I think we are going in the other direction. And it frustrates the hell out of me.
Could not agree more! To let Vaz Te go for peanuts at that point could've and still may spell relegation. The small-minded thinking of our current board would be funny if it wasn't so sad. We should've demanded at least 1.5 mill for him which may have brought in 1 or 2 quality signings instead of 5 or 6 gambles. If West Ham coudn't do it then fine, i suspect they would've though if our board had knocked them back instead of caving in as per usual we'd be sitting much more comfortably i reckon by now. Our boards lack of vision and negotiating skill is going to ultimately relegate us from this division, wether its this year or next, not i fear whoever the manager is at the time.
why keep a player who even in the press said he wanted to leave? so we can have a half hearted player in the team who would leave for nothing in the summer????????????????
Favourites to go down, more than likely kept us up, slashed the wage bill, made some money on players, had major injuries to key players and lost others unexpected, had them playing very nice football when at full strength. Yeah sounds ****, get him sacked. ps, you can't keep players like vaz te who want to leave and expect them to keep playing well, I imagine they are hard enough to manager when not unhappy.
People keep saying that we got peanuts for Vaz Te when the truth is that we don’t really know what we received from West Ham. I imagine that if we'd kept him until the summer and then he'd gone for nothing, which he would have done, then the same people would have been saying that we should have sold in January and got some money. The board and Keef can't win - it drives me mad.
Loony and that's his first ever post? Blue pig, red pig or a pikey trying to stir it up? This forum makes a lot of rumours for Radio Sheff, a good way for a troll to start a bit of stirring, it'll soon spread to other media.
Yeah! Lets sack another manager in less than a year, its been going so well with that strategy so far. Loads of clubs in loads of divisions have gone through longer losing streeks than us and didn't sack their manager - take Forest for example, just off the top of my head. Hill should be given another season whatever happens this season, end-of.
It isn't good enough but I'm sure that Hill would have liked to retain the services of Vaz Te, Drinkwater, Butterfield, JOB and Perkins. Unfortunately he hasn't been able to through no fault of his own. That's why a team that looked like an outside bet for the playoffs now look like relegation fodder. For what it is worth I saw enough in the first half of the season to cut Hill a lot of slack. Sack the manager ? Typical short term view. He has shown that he can build a decent side and he could do again. Unfortunately if he does it will be sold because of the financial constraints on the club.
