Heckingbottom

A 'Season' is a long time in politics to borrow a phrase from another spectrum.
He was never going to sign long term, once he properly realised the actual dross around him.
'He' was the one in an interview after the first defeat to Rovers who said. 'That wasn't US out there'.
I put in a post then.
'I think he will find that it is - and the way we have played up to press, isn't usually 'US'.

More likely rather than the manager aspect, he's looked at what are around him and thought - feck this .i'm off to Wolves.
And who can blame him.
There may be a Manager effect, but as much or even MORE likely, it's the realisation of what he's playing with and alongside!

He’s fallen out with Heckingbottom and is completely done with us.

Dobbin didn't look too happy with him either at full time. Rolled his eyes after PH shook his hand.

Can’t blame either of them. They’ve carried others single-handedly at times this season, and rather than try and alleviate the load on them (using the likes of Small, Moran etc who might draw other players off them), the manager has made their lives harder by using the likes of Pol, Potts, Smith, Brady etc who are never going to threaten an opposition, leaving them more time to mark Dobbin and Devine. And he’s done that whilst also persisting with a system that doesn’t suit attacking

Stevie Wonder could see the drop off from Devine since being used as the de facto Armstrong replacement. Should’ve spent the money on that instead of a injury prone forward

Also always a good sign of harmony when you’ve got player’s relatives going on social media to make a point to the manager 😬

Whilst Dobbin and Devine might have now realised what they signed up too.
I still don't think PH is totally to blame for the tail off.
Armstrong going back was a big loss.
The 2 aforementioned ; where though great signings.
Offiah and Small should both prove to be good signings in the long run and should eventually go for way more than we paid for them, providing the stalwarts don't drop them down to their level - too much or too quickly!

Those 5 where good signings, i am pretty confident that, that was from PH/SM contacts and nothing to do with Ridsdale!

We have one win in 12-13? Including 9
Losses. He absolutely is to blame for the tail off.

We know where rh real issues lie but we can’t ignore this form.
I actually didn’t mind Hecky at the start. I wanted him sacked at the end of last season. 1 win in 15 was abysmal.

Last season angered me. The start of this season papered over the cracks. He isn’t a good manager. He deflects blame onto others. He doesn’t take any accountability. He’s a patronising twat and I don’t want him at this club.

The small signing was nothing to do with Paul’s contacts. He had a good game against us last season that’s it.
 
@Doyler , still defending this useless twat? Fully respect that you go home and away, but come on, he's lost it.

He's a fucking cunt with the Yorkshire chip on his shoulder. These boys are used to top coaches. It must seem like they're playing for Stan Ternent by comparison.

Potts seemed to be saying “yes I know” and rolling his eyes when given instructions coming on in midweek too.

I think he’s fully lost the dressing room.

Can't trust a guy that dyes his hair jet black when he's 50 odd

It’s a massive worry if our whole season’s hopes and dreams were resting on the shoulders of one 18 year old midfielder.

Can’t be the case, PH made plenty of signings. Saying it was down to Armstrong is just letting everyone off the hook.
 
Reading some of these posts it appears the players have become too damned precious to take instructions from an experienced manager. Maybe they need to listen more and roll eyes and tantrum less because they have played no better than a bunch of overgrown schoolboys for the entire of 2026 (Bristol City excluded) they concede very easily and can’t score for toffee. Hard luck boys that’s how the world works in the workplace you are not always going to like what you get.
 
The collective are currently not fit for purpose, They need to show some true grit and work for their lavish income. At an ownership level we made signings that weakened the squad in January - priority should have been a proper keeper. Who sanctioned the 2m signing of an injury prone player - what a shambolic signing. Be lovely to get new ownership and ship the lot out to pastures new if anybody wants passengers. I have always supported Hecky but enough is enough.
