Heckingbottom is a dour sort: you don't want him.
When it's going well, he's great. He reverts to 451 hoofball and blaming everything/everyone else for his failings when results start to slide, though.
He is not as big a twat as your last bloke - The King Of Twats - but you'd tire of his poor-me schtick fairly quickly.
Yes, I understand that his budget at Barnsley was not wonderful. Got it. I even got it before his 100th whine about the same thing. But leaders are supposed to lead. If he speaks to his players in the same negative way he speaks to the fans, we were always doomed.
He is a miserable sod who plays football to make your eyes bleed. For a 'new' Bolton with a blank slate to build a squad from scratch, he would not set my pulse racing.
Yep, there were good days. But he has never shown the ability to manage. He kept the pot boiling after Lee Johnson left, and I do accept that he was given a very lousy hand when half the squad left in January of 2017. That is when he needed to manage, and not just piggyback the work which had gone on before. He couldn't do it. Leeds or Hibs I don't know a lot about. But I was sick of his complaining and was glad when he left us.
