If the rumours are to be believed the Chinese were in town last week to discuss the final stages of a takeover. Then its quite clear why the Purse strings have been pulled shut, the current regime are not going to want to fork out x amount on new players if a new regime is set to come in. They will wait for the new owner to get their wallet out instead but in the meantime we have Hecky who is very frustrated by not getting his targets in and the feel good factor is dwindling away. The best we can hope for is that the Chinese are serious and to prove so stump up the cash for said recruitments until the deal goes through
But we all know that with any takeover at other clubs they gave brought their own man in but hopefully they will have see how important Hecky is to the club
No one is untouchable & new owners always have an agenda. I can see why Hecky is p!ssed off, for a number of reasons. It won't help us sell the club if the deal drags on & we are adrift approaching Christmas, so at least a few more loan signings is imperative & maybe a couple of out of contract players.
Why? I can't see anyone buying a football club making long term guarantees about the Manager. They might need to pay off his current contract but that's all
If you Google Barnsley FC and takeover, all you get is links to this site and everytime someone makes a rumor about a takeover.
