    That our coach who has been in the uk since 21st of June decided to play it this way.He said he had seen videos of every game we played last year,he then decides to see them in the flesh check there stats for fitness lung capacity ,speed etc.He then tells the board/Ceo/recruitment team who he feels he doesn't need.The powers that be make these deals happen and it then clears the deck to bring in stronger,fitter players who are more suited to the manager/coaches design on how to play his style.Just a thought.Its quite simple really.

    Seems sensible. And imagine we have a number of deals in the pipeline ready. Domino effect sometimes.

    My thoughts exactly, don’t understand why people are panicking about lack of signings. I reckon Stendel wants to see how the current players flair in a couple of friendly games first to help see what type of players he needs to add.

    Entirely plausible, as long as someone wants to buy them.

    It doesn't make sense to buy before we've shipped the dead wood... they didn't know who would come in for them and for what fee etc. so i'm pleased they're being sensible about it, knowing how much to spend, before inflating the squad with more midfielders etc.

    My slight concern is were then basing all these sales on advice from a coach nobodies ever heard of, been out of work for over a year and saying they wont fit into his fantastic new system. What happens if his systems a load a arse, we may have then sold good players for nowt, not saying there all good players were flogging but if rumour is to be believed, selling bradshaw just cos he cant run flat out for 90 mins maybe a mistake for a start. The new board couldnt have made a worse start even if they followed the manual 'how to make a worst start in english football' word for word. We seem to think 'trust em, they know what they are doing', well from what ive seen so far, i aint so sure.

    Bradshaw is obviously knocking on the Wales door and i'd have thought he was one of the players wanting championship footy. Yeah hes under contract but id rather have players there who want to be there. Maybe DS wants him to stay...

    Just because you've never heard of him doesn't mean he's bad does it, also he hasn't been out of work he's been doing work with Arsenal. As for the players other than Mallan who I don't think had a fair crack of the whip no of them were really ought special.

    Entirely plausible. But not necessarily true, just something you've made up with no evidence to back it up. You don't know who has made the decision that these players are to be sold and neither do I. I'll fully admit to not knowing, the information we're given from the club is consistently contradictory from all parties and as such I think it's impossible, from the outside, to know how it works.

    I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing the players have been sold. The squad is too big and imbalanced. We need a couple of midfielders who can tackle and that's just the start. Yet we're probably going to be in breech of the FFP rules with the squad we've got.

    The one thing I do take exception to is the crowing about making a profit. That buying and selling these players was a positive. They were bought to keep Barnsley FC in the Championship or even push for promotion (if we're allowed to have ambition). They hardly played, contributed next to nothing and we were relegated, losing about £5 million in income in the process. A bit of humility wouldn't go a miss. An admission that they got things wrong, that the quality of recruitment is going to improve, that they're going to learn from mistakes. Not this garbage that signing players who weren't good enough to make the team is some kind of success story.

    Not really a question of whether anybodyies heard of him. His track record aint sparkling. So to come to a club and the whole transfer ethos and player recruitment is based solely on his management style and way of playing the game I think could be floored. It could work fine but I would feel much more comfortable if he'd done this at a few clubs and got some success. Im not saying im not getting behind him either but based on what hes acheived so far, i reckon theres every reason to raise an eyebrow, especially if bradders goes.

    You mean like all the successful managers we've had over the years who mostly have had no little to no management experience. It's not like his way of playing is new or experimental, Klopp has used it for years, Wagner is having great success with it at Huddersfield, yeah we don't know about his personal management style yet, but the players who've left would have probably been sold anyway.

    Of course its plausible... but so is another 100 different suggestions, Its no more than your opinion, no fact..

    Also from the same person who though jose should have been kept on and given a pre-season and a transfer window. You do realise that the clubs current predicament is totally self inflicted, as any average coach/manager would have kept us up. So excuse me if your ideas are not taken too seriously..

    I never said it was true and I spelt plausible wrong so I'll do hundred lines tomorrow before the England game.

    Kinda go hand in hand. Were in division 1. Weve lost 6 million knicker as a consequence. We had no need to. Please tell me you dont think everythings tip top. On or off the field. I respect your opinion if you do, but wheres the evidence.
