It'll be a right old mess the way it always is. Players will hang about signing contracts to see what other offers come in, agents will play clubs off against each other, some of our best players will move on and there'll be a board meltdown, Nudge will start capitalized new threads ...

I'm looking forward to seeing our recruitment, I think we will see an investment in youth, perhaps players like James Bree or Mason Holgate, young lads who have potential signed for a decent outlay of a couple of million with the hopes of a significant return down the line. I'm not saying we will sign either of them, but I think that is the mould and calibre of player we will be looking to sign. There was also a mention of a possible link with Nice, would be very exciting to get some loans. I'm also excited to see how our foreign recruitment goes, I have a feeling we're going to sign a 6'5 German keeper.
The Cryne family own 50% and Barnsley Council own 50% Obviously, the consortium has stated an intention to buy the ground.
In response to a question about the Stadium at the Press call when they took over, didnt Paul Conway say something like there were no plans to change it, as it looked fine just as it was.? Obviously they have done some essential work to the West Stand and have since intimated that in time, they would like to buy the whole shebang. Don't have any proof of course, but my hunch is that one of Patrick's final wishes was to ask his wife and son to ensure they keep their 50% holding. I think Barnsley Council would also resist cashing their share in to avoid any possible threats to the Clubs future.
We signed Yiadom before we got promoted last time out (to the dismay of many on here, I might add). I know he didn't cost 2 million, but it happens.
It's only £1.5m! Georgi Hristov is our most expensive player ever. Even though football has properly gone mental, I don't understand how that works. Was he stupidly expensive, or do we never spend any money at all? If you think about it for a while it makes your head hurt.
