Hill: yes to Barnsley

In an apparent u-turn, Rochdale boss Keith Hill will be named as the new boss of Barnsley F.C. on Wednesday.

It what has proved to be a hammer blow to all Dale supporters, a second approach from Barnsley has proved to satisfied the demands of Hill and Flicker and their four and a half year tenure at Spotland has come to an end.

Speculation will no doubt begin as to their replacements, but they leave Spotland having led Dale to the (equal) highest position in the club's history and it was inevitable that their success would see them move on to bigger things.

We would like to place on record at RochdaleAFC.com our thanks to Keith and Flicker for the best footballing years of our lives and wish them all the best in Yorkshire.<
