    They've lost all credibility in my eyes.
    Such a worthwhile intention, but now severely lacking a modicum of credibility.

    I'm staying on, just for sh1ts and giggles

    I pointed this out to 'Martin Nettleton' last night, or rather asked him a question, in terms of did they think 'Conway Out' was the right name to bring fans on board. I was basically saying that you might have 1,500 members, but it's easy to click join and you don't really know where those 1,500 have come from. How many just want to be kept informed, how many actually go to games, and how many post in the group. You can be at risk with these things of having the same 20/30 people creating all the content, discussion points, and questions, which feels like you've got a majority view when in reality you haven't. Lots of noise but from a tiny fraction.

    Not saying that was the case here. But someone posted to another Facebook group challenging the group, it's intentions, and saying that the owners have got things wrong in the Summer but that overall we're in safe hands in terms of our future. That post got 79 likes and dozens of 'Spot on' type replies. I don't think any post in the Conway Out group had that much engagement - but could be wrong.

    I only say this because certain members of the group use phrases like 'vast majority' or 'all supporters' when that simply isn't the case. Hope I've made sense on that ramble.

    As for your joining bit. Do you mean the Trust? You can sign up for a free membership on the website - www.bfcst.co.uk

    Oh dear. So the Facebook Group owner used an alias, which just happened to be the same name as a local business owner? Anyone with any sense really should distance themselves very quickly.

    It's totally normal to use an alias of someone completely unrelated that owns a local business, presumably to try and present yourselves as 'businessmen'. Don't know what you're all complaining about.

    Nothing to see here folks, these new owners are going to save the club.

    Yeah you make sense mate.

    I joined the day I found out about it. 1st question I asked was it aimed at just Conway, PMG or all owners.

    But it seems a witch hunt (even on here) against one bloke.

    Yeah he's been a bit of an arse, but maybe, just maybe, the larger shareholders are using Conway as a puppet. Who knows.

    I'm perfectly happy for the trust to make the noise, but obviously I'm not sure how vocal or constructive you could remain without losing it tbh

    Cheers for the link, I'll look into tonight and get signed up, still chewing popcorn viewing the fallout at the minute

    I was invited to join the group when it started but chose not to accept it because I knew literally nothing about it having been away over New Year. But when you invite someone they get 30 days of viewing access so I started having a look to form an opinion. I only joined because of the Q&A and so many inaccurate comments being made.

    I'm obviously going to say this as part of the Trust Board, but I would stick with us for a few more weeks yet. We can only keep working to get the answers, and get them to be as easy to understand as possible, and then people can make a call on how they feel. I would encourage everyone to support the players on the pitch right now though.

    We've offered to be a sounding board for future club decisions. We've asked for an interview or forum with Paul Conway. It's not even been 24 hours yet in terms of any progress on those but at least you all know we've asked.

    I’d have gone for Jeff Bazos or Elon Musk for more credibility

    @Gally @Loko the Tyke

    I am no longer a moderator on the Facebook group.

    Using a Barnsley business mans name as a fake alias then wishing to be taken seriously.

    Sorry but they are losing credibility by the hour.

    When a real buyer wants to buy the club, they won't hide behind smoke and mirrors and use a network of online deputies to rile up support.
    Look at recent offers for Derby. People willing to put the money down need to be recognised as having the cash to get the fans on side. When the Arsenal owners were faffing about with the European Super League, Daniel Ekk didn't feel the need to keep his cards close to his chest.

    I still think these owners will take a tilt at trying to get promotion again next season (assuming we're in league one) before making noises to suggest they're ready to sell.
