Barnsley boss Keith Hill angry at Butterfield departure

Hill angry at Butterfield departure

Barnsley manager Keith Hill has hit out at the "system" after losing captain Jacob Butterfield to Premier League side Norwich City.

Butterfield turned down a new Oakwell contract to join the Canaries, and Hill has slammed the tribunal system after it decided the fee Butterfield went for, despite Barnsley having previously turned down.

"It's going to go to a tribunal, but we won't get what we deserve for Jacob," Hill told the Sheffield Star.

"I haven't got any problems with Jacob, we've got a superb relationship, it's the system which I don't like.

"The only people who will benefit from this deal is Norwich City."

The fee will be decided by tribunal as the player is under 24 years of age.
