This was their rationale http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/feb/12/barnsley-sack-danny-wilson-league-one Now we are saying we were relying on a club selling a player to enable recruitment to happen, despite claiming we were more than competitive. Then the comments about no one getting sacked, it seems that the "board" has decided to do the same as they did with Davey I'm going to reform AFC Barnsley. I wonder if I can build a stand?
Nothing at all adds up, all we're getting is spin and we're a complete shambles from top to bottom. If this was another club we'd be posting about it on here saying they're nailed on for relegation and that the fans deserved better.
It smacks of back of a *** packet planning, so dont be surprised if Benson and Hedges turn out for us on saturday
It's clear it's another smoke and mirrors, diversion exercise like the embarrassing episode about not knowing how much Stones was worth to distract from the sacking of DW.
I think you're partly right, there can't be many rational explanations for this complete nonsense. The problem is that creating a ****-storm won't deflect away from the abject football that is being played - that will still be clear for all to see.
When I read that from the time Wilson was sacked, and compare the situation then, and their reaction to it, with the situation now and their lack of reaction to it, it just makes my blood boil all over again. Made up management on the hoof, it is as clear as the snot on the end of my nose that there is a story that we just have never been told, and the more they lie, the more obvious it gets. It is like watching a child trying to lie their way out of a hole.
Where would you build it? You'd have to buy a lot of land where you could put it first wouldn't you? Nobody would ever let you build it on their land.
Not sure but you'd hope that they would not have put themselves in a situation where they need pay it up in its entirety.
True. I would expect anything in bottom 4 to trigger a clause. However PC made it clear he won't sack him on several occasions. I can only think they believe the longevity of managers is a factor and perhaps even regret sacking DW.
Seems obvious to me Mr Cryne isn't willing to throw any more money into the club. Idea is we become self sufficient. As I pointed out at the start of the season the squad is the weakest that we have had since Iley days. At the time I said we had hung on for the Stones money, that never materialised. We are currently doing worse than I had imagined, but we have in the last 6 games shot ourselves in the foot so many times it has been a comedy of errors. A bit of luck & we could climb towards mid table again with a few wins & Hourihane back in. What is done in the transfer window will clear up the club's real intentions for the future.
The length of contract isn't an issue. It'll be written in to his contract how much we have to pay him should we sack him and how much another club has to pay us if they want him (not an issues at the moment, I grant you, but you never know in the future). It's standard practice and not dependent on the length of contract.
It seems he is throwing more money at the club. If we look at overall budget, wages, signing on fees, transfers, bonuses, agent fees i'd suspect too.... how much percentage wise has gone into loan fees (most loans have what is effectively a transfer fee up front to the club who own the player), loan wages, early termination fees and paying up contracts early. We may well perceive we've not spent a lot, but i bet we have when you take all that into account. My issue isnt the money thats spent, its how we're absolutely frittering it away on things that don;t make a positive difference. Wilkinson, Crowley, Rothwell, Townsend... 4 very poor loans (plus a transfer fee for the latter, is dibble really any worse?). Then the money poured out to get rid of Bailey, Lalkovic (Berry too?). I rarely use the word incompetence. But sometimes it's valid for the situation.
