Hibs appoint Heckyar*se!

[pass_and_move]

You forgot to mention 1 win in 17 games under Hecky .Also we got relegated by one point.Surely helping Mowett through his early games instead of farming him out and giving Steffan Payne a bit more game time would have got us at least a couple more wins and safety.Then it wouldn't have mattered if Jose or thee would have took over.

Yes it was 1 win in 17 games but we were never actually in the relegation zone under Hecky were we and that's wi art evvin 2 recognised strikers. If Stefan Payne was worthy of a place in the Barnsley team and of championship quality then how come he's not plying his trade in that division right now rather than in the lower echelons of lg1?

Mowatt and Mcgheean have performed admirably this season but the step up to championship level will not be easy for them. I believe they can do a job at that level and with a solid season behind them and confidence high you'd think they'd be capable of holding their own. Time will tell I guess but at the moment they're league 1 footballers.

Heckys tenure was full of good memories, far more good memories than bad ones in my opinion. I find it hard to understand why a blowk who gave this club everything, taking on various rolls and responsibilities in the absence of others and doing an admirable job gets heavily criticised by some folk. He was blamed by folk on here for signing players that weren't up to scratch but it has since been established that the board and Goat were responsible for the signings and Hecky was teld to gerron wi it. Basically they gave him a thankless task and made him look a 2hat to those who couldn't see the situation for what it was, funny how their role (The board and Goat) in getting this club relegated gets swept under the carpet and now the Frenchman has left he gets plaudits for doing a great job. Selective memories indeed.

Goat who ?, never heard of him lol.
Hecky did give us loads of great memories Pass I agree, and they wont ever be forgotten. But surely all of us as footy fans do remember the bad times as well in a manager, and that cant and wont be forgotten either.
And yes, maybe we can all be accused at times of having a 'selective memory' to suit our own arguments.

To begin with I am and always will be greateful to Hecky for what he achieved at Barnsley and his achievements will never be forgotten but in my opinion the things he got wrong contributed to our relegation.Mowett came to Oakwell as a young but very experienced Championship player (well over 100 games ).Whatever flaws Hecky saw should have been ironed out and the team would have been stronger.As for Payne he went to Shrewsbury and scored 14 goals I think.If he'd had scored just 1 for the first team at Barnsley it could have been the 1 that kept us up. So while P.H should rightly take the plaudits for what he achieved he showed also face some flak for the mistakes he made with the first team.
