    Remind me Paul what did you replace Kieffer Moore with ? Was it some second hand deck chairs from donny car boot for the fan zone ? Or maybe those X 2 new hand dryers in the east stand lower bogs. Cracking decision that to sell our top scorer to a relegation rival hours before the window shut ? After all it’s been our best transfer window ever.....is that for the loyal fans or your excel balance sheet profit columns ?

    I’m struggling to make a list of all those wonderful on and off the field improvements we were promised ?

    Or did you invest in a new set of blonde highlights for the invisible man.... what’s his name again derk dalek dean don dog Doug Dave ? Dale Dale that’s it..... his names Dale.

    The board and the locusts cashing cheques and selling the best assets and replacing them with lower league / foreign bargain basement untried untested kids have put us in the position we are now, the fault lies squarely with the board and lack of ambition.

    The fat lady is gargling the tcp to clear her throat.........even pep or Klopp couldn’t do any better than struber poor sod. He’s driving a talbot alpine in a formula one race with the hand he’s been dealt by the board.

    I’ll be like you Paul praying for a miracle and that hull keep cocking up.

    get the prayer mats out

    I'm struggling to find a single thing positive that these charlatans have done since coming in.

    I just wish my Great Grandad, who was wounded at the Somme, saw us win the 1912 cup final at Bumhole Lane & lived till he was 97 could speak his mind about the current administration. Paul Con artist & a band of jokers.

    What did you expect? We were told the club wouldn't be going mad under the new ownership.

    We are struggling but who's to say we wouldn't have with the players your talking about? None of them were proven at this level were they?

    I'm glad we aren't in Wigans position spending millions we don't have jeopardising the future of the club.

    Keiffer Moore would have still been under contract to barnsley till next year had we chose not to sell him to a rival

    I'm sure that was done just before Patrick left by could be wrong.

    I wonder if anyone at the club has used the lockdown to set the TV's up properly though as they spent all season cutting half the screen off due to being in the wrong aspect ratio. I'm surprised 'e estment room' didn't complain

    He's a person, not an asset. If he didn't want to be here there's no sense forcing him to be. Just makes everyone unhappy.

    Paul Conway made Bahre captain? Surprised he didn't take over from Stendel as well.

    No he's a contracted employee who, in good faith and with the aid of a his chosen agent, signed a lucrative contract at barnsley for a determined period of time.

    Should the policy be just to let any player walk at any point if they say they want to?

    I'm glad we didn't let Marley Watkins walk when he asked to leave, he helped keep us in this division.

    They don't care league position is secondary to profit generation through player sales the reason Conway thought it was a great window is they made a profit on the players sold we are a football player retailer first and foremost now not a football club in the old sense. But the boards supporters will still chime in with they wanted to go, we couldn't stop them, they'd have stopped playing for us, blah blah blah

    Hi Selby

    I expected us to show some ambition instead of banking money then asset stripping and giving flannel to the fans.

    I’d rather have the half time draw man on the pitch than Schmidt. Sibbick , Green etc etc the list of utter dross we have signed goes on and on.

    On and off the field improvements ? Where are they ? Exactly what had this board improved ?

    we get relegated and the first goon to wave a packet of tenners under this boards nose for mowatt Woodrow Chaplin and brown and they will be sold a lot less than their true market value to balance the book’s immediately. Then the circle of sh*t starts again with more flannel from the board to appease the fans and us doing the old favourite scattergun approach of signing 13 blind one legged 17 years olds from pub league in Romania and various lower league divisions and non league for 10% of the fees we have raised. This scenario will mean we will carry on going backwards and dropping through the leagues.

    3 or 4 X 30 year olds been there done it mixing with the youth should have been the way to go.

    not BFC anymore just a production line to raise profit and asset strip. We are a feeder club and nothing else under this present board and their transfer dealings.

    According to Murphy we will have spent millions on the players signed last summer eventually he said most of the Money recieved for Moore and Pinnock had been allocated to those signings. The problem is they went for quantity and completely ignored the need for quality in this league and as a consequence have put the club's future at risk.
