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.<

Swansea City v Blackburn Rovers : Sheehan such a difference : News & Comment
Blackburn Rovers come to the Swansea.com on Saturday without a permanent head coach or manager, but with little injury concerns bar one player.
Eric Ramsay : Casemiro praise & could Dennis Lawrence return to Swansea ?
We featured Eric Ramsay some fourteen months or so ago when the Swans were linked with him back at the start of December 2023. When he moved right into one of the top runners for the Swans job we republished the feature again at the end of that month.
Swansea City : Go for number one, save time looking for second best
We had had a good look around the latest betting on the next Swansea City manager. Basically the bookies in this market are generally far off the mark when it comes to Swansea betting. They wheel out a few anomalies like Russell Martin who would never return to the club and prey on fans hope more than sense.
Luke Williams : The Swans just need to stop making the same old cheap mistakes
Despite the wait - when it became apparent that the new Swansea investment team pretty much had enough of Luke Williams, the Swans head coach, the inevitable happened. A brief wait had to be taken when one of the Directors was dealing with a family funeral, it soon turned to a green light yesterday afternoon after a decision was made on Sunday.
Luke Williams sacked : Directors meet and finally they agree !
Pressure on Andrew Coleman and the Swansea City board has come to fruition with the announcement of Luke Williams leaving Swansea City.
Exclusive : Chaos in the Swans boardroom and chaos on the pitch : Sponsors leaving and so much more
We can only review one thing from yesterday’s game at Stoke City. To have to spend the focus it takes to put together and edit a report, ensure the licensing and stats are correct, takes time. So this morning we thought we would take the option that it seems Swansea City take while the club drops towards League One.

Swansea City : Luke puts his foot in it again !
Swansea City seem to have recruited a smooth operator in Richard Montague. He is now at the club in an official capacity. So, what does he bring and what are his strengths ? After all he assembled a Notts County squad which at their level gave the club and its supporters something to be really proud of.
The crazy spiral the Swans find themselves in : Stoke City pre match
Swansea City will be travelling north from west Wales today in preparation for tomorrow afternoon’s away fixture against Stoke City. It’s a must win for both sides who are quite frankly dreadful over their past ten games, so much so they are both right in the relegation mix.
