One or two people have said you should never bring someone back a second time, but the overwhelming majority are over the moon about this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Since the appointment was confirmed, fans who weren&#8217;t going to renew their season tickets are now saying they will. That&#8217;s the Stendel effect, he&#8217;ll put bums on seats and get fans back into Oakwell.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stendel is known for his ability to develop fringe players performance, who weren&#8217;t previously given a chance in first-team football. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His last spell at the club saw players Alex Mowatt, and Ethan Pinnock playing in all 46 league games of the campaign. During the season before Stendel took over, the pair had only made 13 appearances between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, Pinnock has made 128 appearances with Brentford in the Premier league, with Mowatt also earning a transfer to Championship side West Brom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f5c21d10-4ac8-11f1-98ca-b9a67497d74e-1024x636.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f5c21d10-4ac8-11f1-98ca-b9a67497d74e-980x608.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shefnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/f5c21d10-4ac8-11f1-98ca-b9a67497d74e-480x298.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Barnsley FC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Gallagher said: &#8220;Above all, he\u2019s a motivator. In the summer of 2018 he took a squad nobody fancied and transformed them into a gegenpressing machine inside a single pre-season. That team played some of the best football we\u2019ve seen at Oakwell in recent years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to see a top-six finish in the first season and a genuine promotion challenge in the second.
