    Think the Potts offer was a poor one to be honest http://barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/rejected-a-bid-for.270253/ that was the thread I can still remember commenting on it. And yeah they are looking a bit silly now gone back under their bridge's. I always thought we had plenty of talent in the squad confidence is a massive thing in football and having a head coach who sets you up the right way.

    I can't see the club selling anyone, if they I do I've misjudged them badly. I truly believe they want to take this club forward and would lose all faith in football again if they let this team break up and weaken.

    I don't think you'll have misjudged them, unless they practically give our best players away. As I said further up the thread, if players want to leave they'll leave, but we will do better business.

    The truth is somewhere in between Nudgers notion that "we're loaded and will blow other clubs out of the water", and "we've got wealthy owners but nothing radical will happen in the short term"

    I thought we were still selling if the price is right. I really hope we don't sell this January though and have a proper go to go straight back. Tell the players this and just let them know. If we were to lose Potts in January who has 5 goals and 1 assist from 9 games from midfield we can't replace that imo.

    Do you recall Paul Conways words at the Press Conference. when they took over.?
    He said something along the lines that the Board would probably fund an eventual bid to get to
    the Premiership, but added the rider " but we won't be doing anything crazy."!
    To me , that infers they will try to encourage and promote investment from future sponsors/ partners,
    and grow the fan base , in the hope they are able to invest that money in the squad. In short, they are going for steady well planned " organic" growth , whilst ensuring that anything that they do do, complies fully with FFP as laid down within the protocol of the original UEFA guideline document.

    Obviously they were on loan, but the point was that they were key members of our squad last season , do you not agree ?

    Not sure it's fair to include loanees when discussing squad retention.

    Not sure its fair to leave them out when people keep on banging on about it being the same squad as last year apart from Bradshaw , especially as both the players were regulars in the team & not just squad players .

    If we're comparing squad strength vs last season then yeah completely get that... but the OP was talking more in context of retention.

    I think they have done well and recruited well. The good players we had on loan were not realistic buys in terms of value or wages. I also think it was the right time for everyone who has left to have left too. January will be the big test.

    I agree with what you say , but when you pick up on what supporters from other clubs are saying, that we are doing well because we retained nearly all our squad from last year well it sticks in the throat & is simply not true
