If you're looking down upon us please help the club you so obviously loved. People scrutinised your personal and business life and its happening again. You sold our club to people you trusted to continue your good work,you included your wife and son to help continue the work you started. I'm sure the board like previous boards realise its all part of there jobs to take flack when things infuriate some supporters but I'm sure these things are done for the long term benefit of BFC. I wonder what some of these young fans who are talking of demos and back turning would have done when J.Denis sacked John Hendrie when we were 8th in the Championship. To use a quote used many times in football "Its happening again RIP Patrick
How dare you call me tasteless.I'll tell you whats tasteless people like you who are spoiling the board with your continuous bashing of the owners of our club .You're like a little bairn.I've seen far worse things happen at BFC and never have I seen a man over react as much in my life.I liked Stendel I celebrated with him the night Pompey and Sunderland and we got promotion.I celebrated with him when I got back from Bristol but hes gone now I don't know why and I'm sure we'll all find out why in time.If every time something happens in life that you don't like you're going spend a lot of time sulking and looking for scapegoats. My respect for Patrick was and still is immense and I used his name because people like you are underminding all the good he did for us. I'll also congratulate you because since joining this board in 2005 I have never lost my temper or had a go at a fellow Red.Well done.
What they've done since we've been promoted cannot be viewed as a long term benefit for Barnsley FC in any sense apart from financial surely? 1. We sold our starting centre backs and our top goal scorer from last season. 2. Despite what they said about reinvesting all the money made from transfers and the money made from promotion back into the playing squad, they have not. 3. They've taken a loan out against the clubs name so they've never actually investing any money themselves into the club. 4. They've sacked a promotion winning, record breaking manager 11 games into the new season. 5. They announced this sacking with a 21 word statement not thanking him or acknowledging his achievements. Nobody with a straight face can say after these events that they are here for the long term benefit of Barnsley FC
You're the one bringing our previous owner into this. If that's not disgusting, sick and bit a twisted, then I really don't know what is.
If you think I've used his name in some derogatory way that must be your personal perception.I take offence to be called sick and twisted.As you know I pointed out the board are having to go through what Patrick went through.Thats what I find disgusting.
Youre using our previous owner, who has passed, for petty point scoring to try and enhance your personal moral high ground. Some people are concerned about our ownership. You may not be, that's fine. But don't use people no longer with us to points score. That generates the comments you've received from me which seem as accurate as when I first made them.
Lads and lasses, can't we disagree without falling out? We're supposed to be on the same side. Everyone knows my views on our owners, but all along I've tried to respect alternative views. These ongoing arguments just don't help anyone.
There was outrage the other day in another (since deleted) thread having a bit of a laugh at Conway's expense. This one far weirder.
You don't know me and has for point scoring you really are pathetic.Continue your personal crusade against our owners I'm sure itys making you feel very important.
I'm not trying to score any points. For some reason you thought that post wise. I disagreed and you went from there. My concern is my football club. I think its fair to say that many others have that same concern though it will manifest from other areas. You may not feel somewhat perturbed by the ownership and lack of transparency within and the lack of motive and the lack of congruency between communication and action. There have been some very good points made, some useful source information, but getting to a set of accounts of our ultimate holding company is like getting into fort knox. I cant even tell if they've filed yet. So if you want to be unconcerned, that's absolutely fine. Just as it's absolutely fine for anyone who doesn't share your view to try and understand what might be occurring.
You forgot to mention selling our goal scoring midfielder (potts) in the middle of a promotion campaign.
Aren't we meant to be Barnsley fans who stick together? We've all got our own opinions on the recent events thats happened, no need to get at each others throats. Kinda think this thread needs to be removed.
I think we are better leaving things there.I've always stated on here all views should be valid I just felt your crusade was getting a little tiresome but of coarse you're entitled to do as you feel fit.My intensions regarding Patrick was never to offend I'm not that sort of bloke.Its been a tough week or so for all Barnsley fans and my main aim now is to support the next coach and get back on track against Swansea next Saturday.
