    Absolutely embarrassing. This is what these owners have done to our club.

    Are Conway and the owners still the world hide and seek champions and refuse to acknowledge or communicate with the supporters or will they be pulling the string on our CEO’s back for him to keep on spouting the same drivel and trot out the same politicians answers.

    Our club under this lot is dead, keep your season ticket money in your pockets that’s the only thing these owners will listen to is the cash staying in fans pockets and not theirs.

    Really dark times ahead for BFC under these parasites

    You act like we never lost before these owners came in.

    I'm no particular fan of them, but bad defeats always have and always will happen, regardless of who's in charge

    Playing the youngsters has worked a treat hasn't it?
    Not sure how these last three games have been a boost to any of them apart from, maybe, Marsh.

    Come on though, this isn't just a bad performance though is it? It's fielding a team that are utterly incapable of competing two leagues lower than the one that it's been fielded in. As Jay says there are players in this team who have no hope of a professional career.

    But other owners have tried to correct mistakes. This shower just make things worse. They should be going now before this match finishes. They are a disgrace ans should not be allowed into football in the uk again they haven't got a clue. Proven by all their other clubs around Europe

    We are an absolute disgrace, an embarrassment, the worst team in the EFL currently, we are a laughing stock. I can’t even bring myself to wear my Barnsley shirt in public anymore I am that embarrassed.

    Anybody thinking we’ll be more competitive next season in League 1 needs their head checking! We will be in a relegation battle next season, mark my words. We are sinking like a stone, in fact no, a boulder! We are heading straight for league 2, & could end up like Oldham.

    These absolute tosspots running the club need to be made accountable, they need to stop hiding & front the supporters, give us some answers, some apologies. Everyone connected to the club, the media, supporters trust etc need to start asking the hard hitting questions, over & over again until we hear from the right people. Khaled is useless in this aspect, we don’t need to hear his words, we need to hear from the actual owners. Not just Conway, but Chien Lee, & what the hell are the Crynes doing? Surely they can’t be loving what they see?

    It’s absolutely depressing what is happening at the club, & there doesn’t seem to be the dimmest of lights at the end of the tunnel. It absolutely stinks & I’m sick to death of the cowardly pillocks hiding away not giving a toss!

    This is the worst Barnsley squad in all my time watching.

    The OP has his own way of putting things but fundamentally he's not wrong. Unless there is root and branch change very quickly the club is going headlong into League 2 or bankruptcy, quite possible both, quite possibly worse. This fish has rotted from the top.

    I really respect the personal reasons given by people for renewing season tickets but imho giving money to Conway and co is just a facilitator for them to keep us going in the same depressing downward direction.

    There really ought to have been a supporters' co-ordinated boycott of renewals, at the very least until an admission of failure, change of approach and and commitments for the future were given by the owners. Or better still they just went.

    Yes let's not get too upset. Worst season in living memory, utter shambles from top to bottom, allegedly misappropriated funds, court cases, West Stand fiasco, Oulare etc.etc. etc. Let's not overreact eh?

    That’s my view. Only a boycott will get them gone

    And the worst aspect of all this is fans bickering and slagging each other off
    If you want to renew then renew, if you don’t then don’t.
    Just leave it at that and respect each other’s stance.
    Simple….

    I haven’t seen much of that. Most people seem to respect other peoples decisions.

    I never thought we were a laughing stock, having experienced more relegations than most supporters. Mark my words, this is different.

    What's truly worrying is that this is not just about BFC, but the whole PMG portfolio is underperforming across Europe.

    It's not like one bad stock pick, it's the whole investment strategy is a mess.

    We've never been like we are now.

    How many examples can you give where two different teams have had points deductions and someone else has finished below both of them by a considerable margin.
