Move very close

Because nobody wants their manager?

 

To do that we need to continue selling players (head coaches, CEOs) so it’s a never ending cycle really. I just hope we can continue to push up the chain high enough to keep bringing high quality people to the club then getting higher values for them in the future.

 

Why?? it's quite simple the board can agree to allow the manager to speak to a club even if the release clause isn't met in full, the release clause is a figure at which the club MUST allow the manager to speak to other club whether they want him to or not but there is nothing to stop them letting him speak to a club for a lesser amount if they decide they are willing to accept less.

 

If the club has a £2million release cause that has been triggered why would they let him go for any less?

 

I get what you're saying but, as a Barnsley fan have you ever known or expected any different? It goes with the territory.

 

A couple of random thoughts from me if indeed it turns out to be true and VI goes there.

Firstly, the average age of the WBA squad is a lot older than ours, even allowing for the departures of Robson-Kanu and Ivanovic and Austin. Good luck getting them to play with as much energy and pace as we did last season.
Secondly (and I know this won't happen) but I'd like to see Michael Sollbauer teamed up with Adam Murray. I think we could do much worse than providing Murray with an opportunity based on being a constant in recent seasons and utilising Sole's know-how and passion.

 

Hearing some backroom staff going aswell

 

Surely if we put unrealistically high release fees on managers/players the likelihood is they'll never come here in the first place.

 

Not surprising as he brought a couple with him on joining. Extremely likely therefore that he'd take them with him when leaving.

 

If the release clause has been triggered they wouldn't. What I was trying to put across was that the release clause figure is the point at which the board have no option but to allow the manager to speak to another club but there's is nothing to stop them agreeing to let him speak to another club for a lesser amount if the other club won't meet the clause amount in full and until it's officially confirmed by the club that the release clause was met in full we shouldn't take it for granted that Barnsley FC are receiving the £2 million price tag being widely quoted.

 

And where do you think he'll go shopping for new players to fit his system?

 

Let’s hope those restrictive covenants have been well drafted ….

 

All players sold to West Brom, proceeds to go to Hull City

 

And then Barnsley FC as a club are right back at square one and that is the big big flaw in the master plan but sadly unless and until the strategy changes we the fans are just going to have to take it on the chin no matter how frustrating we find it.

 

Why would they?

 

No, not at all. What is wearing very thin for me is the immediacy and inevitability that pretty much everyone of any promise now departs the club with.

 

Would Chris Wilder come? I'd have him.

 

Because the release clause is only the point at which they have no option but to agree. But say a club only offered half the amount but the manager said he was off anyway the board may decide that 50% of the figure is better than 0% and a court battle.

 

I doubt it, for the same reason VI is about to jump at the first offer that comes to him.
