    I think everyone is missing the point here! Barry Taylor's role is one that goes relatively unnoticed and unappreciated. It's like that midfielder who does the stuff no one wants to and so the 'flair' players look good. Who can forget the welcome Danny press conference? Left to right, Ben, DW, Sir Baz. Baz making up the symmetrical formation of a perfect press conference set up. 0-3-0. He held his own on the right, never spoke, never acknowledged the press and just sat solid on that flank. He never took any limelight from Ben and DW, they were the heros that day. Ben using 1million words when 10 would suffice. DW overusing his textbook phrases to dazzle the onlookers. But all along, Baz just sat, no fancy word mongering, no over used cliches and spin doctor talk. Just a perfect press conference back up job. Takes a real man to do that. And what thanks did he get? Yeah, none!
    And folk on ere have the effin cheek to question his role. You try sitting sternly and not even attempting to get a word in edge ways! 45 years of marital training to get to that level of performance. I for one salute Barry.

    Your first point doesn't stand! It was only last December not years ago. We havent had another press conference of that ilk since. So what do you expect Baz to do? I'm more than certain he's ready and waiting to fulfil a similar role and execute it to perfection at the drop of a hat. Textbook!

    It seems years ago. But my point was is The vast majority of Barnsley fans don't know what his role/mandate for the greater good of bfc whilst voicing whichever opinion he represents which is?

    You say hes invested 20 years of his life but how much time has he given?a player told me they never see him. A regular in the directors box told me a couple of years ago that he only goes to oakwell on matchdays and don rowing esdentially slated him. A few meetings a year in return for a free season ticket home and away and free meals plus england tickets is hardly investing 20 years whereas 40 hours a week living and breathing bfc is.

    I'm not sure I'd expect an executive director of any company to be interacting with the general staff on a regular basis. I know he's at at Oakwell other than on match days though. Yeah no secret Don doesn't like him. I don't think he'd have been involved with the club all this time if he didn't have value though.

    You have a point Gally. He once tried to remove our Player commentator as he didn't know who he was. The ******* bell.

    Im pretty sure that Barry Taylor mortgaged his house to help with the purchase of a player in the eighties. Would anyone on here that is bad mouthing him do the same?

    He has but on a much different scale to other owners. Taylor claims Allam has 'given' Hull £70 million.

    He hasn't. It's a debt on the club. If anyone thinks that's a good thing then they're daft.

    Actually he's right I did say that. Not sure why I put that this morning. Probably hadn't woken up. Think he must have edited his post ;)

    What I said, by the way, was for us to generate a £1.5m wage bill in League One (after all the other costs and having lost 4+million a year we currently get from the football league) we would have to average gates of 13,000. I'm told a £1.5m wage bill is a bottom 8 League one wage bill. Sounds about right, as I read somewhere that the average wage bill in league one this season is £2m. Obviously clubs like Wolves will skew these figures.

    Obviously on top of that Patrick Cryne may opt to "invest" more money in the club to increase our wage bill and gamble on getting us out of league one should the inevitable happen. I believe the club would enjoy some concessions from the league one fair play rules initially (less than 60% on turnover going on playing staff).

    Conan obviously knows better though as he clearly thinks they are figures Ive plucked out of the air.

    Are you sure your pretty sure or don't you know. I wasn't bad mouthing him by the way, just enquiring why he would back an unpopular proposal and with what mandate.
