D.S duped the board and every supporter who backed him (and drank with him). I hope some BBS members can be big enough to accept they backed Stendl and berated the board and made this BBS a nightmare for people wanting to have a civilised debate.
There may be an element of truth in this. When you really think about it.... well, it doesn't actually bear thinking about.
I still back stendel. He wanted away for legitimate reasons and I wish him the best. Had we started the season with a competent squad, I guarantee he would be here today.
I for one am one of these people. I wouldn't say i was duped by Stendel BUT i do accept the boards statement on the events and i do accept Stendel was in the wrong. I also accept i've given the board and especially that fat pig Conway some un-necessary stick in regards to these events and i was wrong. I. Was. Wrong.
Not really I remember when he was linked to huddersfield at the start of the season 90% of fans on here were saying if I were stendel I'd be gone with how the board hadn't backed him and sold the cream and not listened to his request for experience after the Sheffield United freindly. Some on here the board can do no wrong very sad people are so gullible.
No, I am a Barnsley fan that is aware that we are going to finish dead bottom due to deliberate profiteering by the owners of this football club. I am also a Barnsley fan that saw first hand fan engagement and a fantastically exciting and organised team consistently win for a full season due to DS, making me feel the most connected with the club for a long time. I then saw that team weakened deliberately and the owners have the temerity to pretend it was a success. I am not surprised to learn that a manager that felt like a fellow fan wanted to leave when he learned the true intentions of the club moving forward.
You have to wonder why they didnt let him go. They paid 1 million compo to Lincoln apparently for the Cowkey brothers, that would have balanced our books nicely.
No because he was sold out by our owners selling his top scorer just 4 days before the window ended and replacing with a bloke from Austria who isnt ready just one example.
Not for long mate.I was just waiting for the truth to come out and see the reaction.As for Stendel I was a massive fan of his but to con the board who pay him and the fans who worshipped in he ought to be a shamed of himself.
Yep, I was duped by a manager who brought success to the club, and for no good reason was refused the minor adjustments he needed to continue his good work.
Which statement from your friends is a lie? The one at the meeting or the one today? Why have your friends lied to the fanbase?
The radio silence now makes a little more sense, however on the whole it makes very little difference to my opinion of the board. That interview I've just heard takes the piss- we are going to repeat in January exactly the same thing that got us into this mess in the first place. They are not interested in keeping us up, they do not have the club or fans best interests at heart. As for DS... I'd have been looking to get out and protect my reputation too. I'd have been absolutely livid with how that transfer window panned out. It's like giving a Formula 1 driver a Kia and expecting him to crack on... why should his CV be tarnished like that?
You know that's not true redrum.Schmidt himself said the club first contacted him last season and according to the "inside man" on here the target who we offered a club record for wouldn't come.
The truth to come out? Well the board have made two deeply contradicting comments in recent months. Firstly, they were keeping quiet for legal reasons. Secondly, they kept quiet out of respect. Which was it? And why did they lie?
