    Quite a few I reckon. Plus Dane has already mentioned that the players who turned us down this season are having second thoughts:)

    Slight twist on that, I think Dane in a recent interview said he'd had feedback from players we approached last summer and turned us down, having now admitted regretting their decisions.

    I also thought Jackson was the better of the two. He never got the run of games that, IMHO, would have shown him in a much better light, but, for me, he always seemed more solid and composed, and had better positional sense than Lindsay.

    I'll admit to being bonkers, though.

    The thing is they are leaving us for a big payday. Life changing money.

    The finances of the game are skewed & unsustainable, but in past years that has been the way of it.

    Yes, but 95% of the time the next contract is the pinnacle of their careers, their largest contract. I'm saying, because most of the time it's the wrong move at the wrong time.

    What I'm saying is when you make the move, you continue the upward trend.

    I wonder how that conversation went exactly lol

    Dane: Hi xxx this is Dane Murphy from Barnsley FC, we tried to sign you in the summer
    Player: Hi Dane, yes I remember
    Dane: Have you seen our current league position
    Player: Yes
    Dane: Do you now regret turning us down? Are you prepared to admit you made a mistake
    Player: Yes
    Dane: Thank you, goodbye
    Player: Thanks Dane, goodbye

    Agent: We're sorry we didn't listen to your amazing sales pitch of how Barnsley, the team who only stayed up on the last day of the season, were going to take the league by storm this year and breach the playoffs.
    Can we come next year if you're in the Premier League?
    Dane Murphy: Sorry, you're on the wrong spreadsheet now. Thanks for your interest. BYEEE

    Not disagreeing with your observation.

    It is the mathematics with the finances that is the problem.

    Well, that's because my view is hypothetical :D

    Great post. The grass was greener for pretty much everyone that left.

    Imagine if a couple of them stayed, the manager still left, most of their team mates still left. They’d have probably ended up looking worse & losing out on the chance of future moves due to playing in a team full of new players taking a while to gel.

    Earning a quarter of the wages they could’ve done whilst watching their former team mates earning a fortune & always wondering ‘I wonder if I was good enough to make it at a bigger club with more competition’.

    Would make sense for him to go there. Glasgow very easy to get to from Preston ............ it might make him settled being closer to home comforts.
    There's a player in there somewhere; wish he'd stayed and developed with us, but money talks.

    In fairness to Davies, everyone expected Butland to leave so Davies was probably expecting to be fighting to replace him.
    He didn’t leave and since he has a new guy has emerged.

    I don't think where we finished this season has any baring on signing new players its down to money/wages. In 2000 we finished 4th and sold Hignett. We signed Carl Regan, Mitch Ward, Lee Jones, Matteo Corbo and Alex Neil. Where were the top signings attracted by our league position?
