    I'd like a 100% new owners and that ownership to include the ground. However I can't imagine anyone we would want will be interested.

    It's not a simple yes/no question though, as they can't just disappear unless there's a viable alternative on the horizon.

    But it is a simple yes/no question. It's do you WANT them out or not? If someone asks me do I want to own a Ferrari the answer is yes I do. I don't have a viable way of buying one but I do want one so I'd tell them that yes I'd love to own one

    Their aims are not allied with those of the supporters. I can't see how they exit though.

    No. I’m not a fan of the current owners, I don’t think they have the best interests of the club at heart.

    But I don’t think anyone could realistically own us for the time being. Anyone claiming supporter ownership has clearly never spoke to many Barnsley supporters.

    It isn’t a simple yes or no though.

    If we had a viable alternative that the majority of supporters believed in or could get behind then I would say yes.

    However, there are many situations in which I would say no, I don’t want them out.

    I can't answer that unless I know the alternatives.

    Who've we got lined up to buy them out?

    Fair enough, I see what you're saying. In that case I'd go with "yes", but with the very reasonable caveat that there would have to be a feasible plan for what was going to happen after they fcked off.

    I always stuck up for them but after hearing that interview today from the CEO, we’re being used as some bizarre experiment that puts football into dispute. Ran like a American club at the moment.

    Be very careful as to what you wish for. Remember the sunny uplands and all that bullshyte we were promised if we voted to leave the E.U, I don't want it to happen to my club, well if these owners leave will it be snake oil salespeople who take over, you may not like these owners but they run the club in an honest way we are solvent and run without braking the laws like most clubs.

    If you are a billionaire, you can afford to fix the ground and employ people to running properly without even noticing a deficit in your bank account.

    That analogy is full of holes to be fair. What if the Ferrari costs you three times as much as it's worth? What if the Ferrari doesn't have an engine in it? What if it's a bright pink Ferrari? In reality, if someone asked you that question, you wouldn't just say yes. You would want some more information first.

    So some people are happy with the board and still want Schopp in charge....... It's quite disturbing really

    Yes and the 20% as well. Neither side have covered themselves in glory. Rather have one 100% owner that's got the club and the ground.

    I want both to go forth and multiply but won't be daft enough to cut my nose off to spite my face.

    There has to be a credible alternative otherwise the club will fold. Simple as.

    Don't forget the council.

    I'd rather the lot out, have one owner of everything.

    Then it's one person we can vent our spleen at, rather than throwing arrows in any direction because we can't blame one party and they are all balming each other. It's ****.

    They are all in it, and all equally (irrespective of percentage) ******* up our club
