    Technically the 21st century didn't start until 1st January 2001.

    Reports on Twitter just now might suggest he'll be on a long holiday ....

    Football played under Bassett in 99/2000 was some of the best I've seen at Oakwell

    He lost 3 home games in a full season while conceding more than one in only 3 home games- one being a 4-2 victory vs Bristol, built two quality sides with the likes of Trippier, McShane, Shackell, Halfredsson, Shotton etc and was the only manager who really had us on our way to being an established solid championship club.

    Worst mistake ever not backing him and choosing the cheap option

    Forgotten nothing - we played no long ball football that year - wouldn't have made sense bypassing Higgy in midfield

    You might not be but to say we played long ball football that season is ludicrous and it's one of the best footballing teams I've seen at Oakwell.

    It's all about opinions but to quote John McEnroe "you cannot be serious".

    Bassett goes right up towards the top of the list for me. If only for the way he completely out did Trevor Francis tactically in the play off semi first leg. Totally destroyed them.
