Heckingbottom's Reaction

[robbiez666]

 

[Weasel]

Glad he's really pissed off. Like we all are.

At least it looks like he genuinely cares and like he said, he only been in the hotseat for 5 mins and he's learning about the players.

Hopefully he is learning that he can't trust the vast majority and a big clear out is needed.

 

[secretchief]

I'm not sure he looks that pissed off.

He can't really afford to get pissed off because he's here for four years irrespective.

His job is to allow all of us to get used to the idea that not getting relegated this season is as good as it will get, and be ok with it.

 

[Roygbiv]

He knows the squad is done but also knows he can't do much about it. His job is to keep us competitive as we drastically trim the wage bill.

 

[Weasel]

He also can't just come out in January when a lot of these bottle jobs are still going to be here until the summer or beyond, and tell them all they are shit. He will probably think that and will want to wield the axe but its difficult when the players he wants out are on big wages and play like pussie. Who's gunna want to take some of these charlatans off our hands at the moment?

Better to keep them motivated and try and cut a lot of them loose in the summer. At the moment this isn't Heckys team.

 

[1889]

I’d liked to have heard him explain the thinking behind his substitutions??
He basically spent 10 minutes saying fuck all

 

[Barney]

What i dont get is why if the board acknowledged they werent happy with the squad after 2020/2021 season, that they then hired Slav on the basis that he gets a different tune from them

At the moment this group of individuals don't resemble a team in any sense of the word.

 

[FriethBlade]

What he can so is start building for next season and instead of playing numerous players near the end of their careers he can play the lads we are going to go to war with next year.

Whatever people think of them Brewster and McB will be here next season as nobody else will pay their wages so when the latter is available I'd.go with those 2 up front and Ndiaye in behind them for the rest of the season. Didzy canet hit a barn door and Billy will be useful from the bench.

I'd also give Slater a chance si we can see if hes any good.If he is then hes integrated for next aeason, if he isnt we get rid in the summer. What's the point in playing Hourihane? Hes not our player and hes not that good. Steven's is finished so again let's play RND and see if hes good enough. Same could apply for Gordon.

My team until MGW is available. Wes, Basham, Egan, Gordon, Bogle, Berge, Norwood, Slater, Ndiaye, Brewster, McBurnie

 

[blades14]

He doesn’t give a f*ck let’s be honest. That reaction about funds says it all. He knows there’s no money. As a player that doesn’t scare you…. Not like wilder or Slav all this nicey nicey bollocks. Spineless

 

[Greenblades]

He has to take the blame for me. You could see once Brewster missed his second chance that they had lace against our midfield. Should have simply added an extra 1 in midfield and sat on it. Really poor subs and management.

 

[originaltrueblade]

He looks as if he knows he’s up shit creek without a paddle

 

[metalblade]

So we know Olsen has gone but Hecky doesn't know if he can use the wages to bring someone in................
Doesn't know what budget he has ................. WTF
Who the fuck is recruiting the players ?

 

[JayGreen17]

Subs were dreadful

 

[Micky Narker]

Get rid.

 

[Weasel]

Agree. What is the feckin point of having Slater on the bench (who is also interesting our opponents tonight by the way) sat on his arse when we needed a fresh pair of legs in the middle of the park to stiffen it up and we try and make it a basketball game when we are 2 up?
Absolutely baffling.

 

[Nelson1889]

Feel for the man in a way because he's going to have to do this job with both hands tied behind his back.

He's inherited a bunch of demoralised, unmotivated players who are either at the end of their careers or have seen their best periods come and go with little or no prospect of moving them on until their contracts expire.

He's then got to replace these with a budget similar to that of Carlisle United whilst dramatically reducing the wage bill to ensure we stay within FFP once that kicks in as we have as much chance of getting back to the Premier league as Oldham at the rate we're going.

 

[Rudders]

Best he can do is swing the axe and get rid of the deadwood ASAP. Clear the decks for next season or the next manager.

 

[pommpey]

"If they'd have had eleven, that wouldn't have happened."

What a stupid statement. If they'd have had eleven, we'd have been beaten 4-1. Face it, Hecky.

I don't feel sorry for Heckingbottom, he knew exactly what the club looked like from the inside. He's been there a few years and knows the score.

pommpey

If that's what he said, in my opinion he wants fucking sacking for that statement!!

 

[Weasel]

Worrying thing is that he seemingly doesn't know what he has to spend in this window. He talked about budget and said it would be easy if he knew what he had to spend... He should know exactly what he's been given and then it's up to him to do what he sees fit. It all sounds a bit farcial.

We had no budget in the summer and we only signed players on loan on deadline day because Slav slated the board in public. We won't sign anyone this transfer window and we won't sell anyone as no one will want any of our shite?

We're stuck with these twats until we either get them to agree to terminate their contracts mutually, or pay them off to release them early, which will eat into what little budget we have next season.

The club is an absolute mess, largely due to Wilder spunking over £100mil on utterly shite, and giving players already here long contracts.

League One in the next two seasons. It's coming.

 

[Keen Blade]

That's the only thing you don't get ?
There are so many inexplicable features of our last 2 years that it's like being in a surreal parallel universe.

Hourihane can feck right off on his £40,000 per week

Not possible , no sane fecker will take em

Bringing on that docile cunt Berge had my head my hands the guy has no fight in him

So we know Olsen has gone but Hecky doesn't know if he can use the wages to bring someone in................

Who the fuck is recruiting the players ?

No one is coz we can't afford to recruit any , have another look at the feckin "goodbye we're outta here" press conference

We don't have a budget and aren't recruiting anyone. Any players who by some miracle we manage to sell, or their contract winds down; get replaced by those in the academy.
We won't go down this season, but next season is a whole different ball game.
