Do you have some sort of filter built into you that misses out most of the articles other points? This news article has been posted on other sites and what Hill actually says is that he is relieved that we are now safe and disappointed that we had to finish the season the way we did as our form until January was great.
He has mentioned that we should be proud that we finished in the Championship and within budget (which is a hard thing to do in football today)
He also mentions (On a few other sites) that he regrets selling Vaz Te and is going to try and avoid making the same sort of mistakes with the contracts of players he intends to sign during the summer.
I am gutted at the way the second half of the season has turned out but know the reasons why (A number of key players unavailable due to injuries/ sold off with no real top quality replacements available).
(Attaches flame proof suit and awaits backlash)
Whilst I'm happy that we've managed to stay in the Championship, I'm happy with the manner in which we achieved it. We were more or less home and hosed by the New Year as far as safety was concerned. In fact a few optimists were talking about the play offs, then we lose Vaz Te, Butterfield and Drinkwater, and not many teams would be able to cope losing 3 of their best players without adequately replacing them. With the resources we have how could we replace them? Nobody would let go of players of that quality mid season, but we had no choice, and so we are where we are.
Let's give Hill the opportunity to rebuild in the close season and see what happens, this season was always going to be a season of transition with a new manager putting across new ideas and tactics. Sadly some factors could no be legislated for and knocked us back quite a bit and we never fully recovered.
And, for those 'fans' who are calling for Hill to go and be replaced by Mick McCarthy probably don't know that Mick has said that he will never manage Barnsley as he wouldn't want to ruin his love for club if it went belly up, and with our so called supporters they'd be hounding him out by Christmas if we weren't in the play offs, or pushing for the title!
Seriously, if Hill went who could we realistically replace him with with our budget? We would only go into League One or Two for his replacement, and we'd be back to square one. For the record, I'm happy with Hill and think it would be unwise to get shut of him after just one season.
Apparently we should be 'Proud'
