.......because it's going to depress them. Big time. And to add to the deep down Super Tyke style depression - are players reluctant to sign for the club because they have seen the baby thrown out with the bath water in the form of the backbone of the team sold on. And to add to all this - these potential signings are thinking - FFS if I sign for Barnsley I'm sure to be in for a season long relegation struggle - so yer can fuk that for a game of soldiers. When did yer hear that last - 'yer can fuk that for a game of soldiers'?
Or do players look and see players like Hourihane and Winnall who spent 2.5 years with us and then quadrupled their salary, or robbo who did it in 2. I know that if I was considering a new job that'd be quite an attractive prospect for me. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Didn't Patrick once say he read this forum . Got to trust Hecky with the players he's after to improve the team long and short term
So you didnt take the 'laughing face' as a sign of me being sarcy eh Fitz.... I know who Whitey is of course!!
Sorry mate. The laughing face didn't show up on my phone first time round. Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
1982- Goose Green on the Falkland Islands when the Argies learned that 2 Para were over the next hill . Apparently they were shouting " Mierda eso para un juego de soldaos." ( F*ck that for a game of soldiers). A guy I know from Donny served over there and he told us that propaganda informing the Argies that the SAS and the Ghurkas were going to be involved frightened some Argies who laid down their arms and either surrendered or did a runner.
Yep - I've just retired from professional football in the last few months - but if I had my time to come again - when I was playing lower league I would have chosen Barnsley.
Not all players have such a dim view on us as some of our "fans" Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk
In their first interviews, our last 2 signings have both said that they are hoping we can push for promotion this season. Probably saying what they think they have to, but how many times in the past have we had players give their first interview and say, we want to finish as high as possible, or well outside a relegation dog fight.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that nudger opens a tin of alphabetti spaghetti, chucks the contents in the air then types whatever he see's in front of him
I thought the only people not to like our club and what we do are Mark McGee and Curtis Woodhouse as well as about 10 posters on here of course... ... Oh and Peterborough
