    Aye. Alright then. I retract my complete and utter ballacks. Conway didn’t appoint Schopp.

    I absolutely agree that he is tarnished from being Paul Conway appointment but at the same time he really has not done himself any favours either.

    Others have listed many of the failures which may or may not have been led by him but he is the Chief Executive of Barnsley Football Club. Operational activity rests with him. He has taken on the role at a very difficult point in the club's life with issues aplenty but he has not, to date, got anything he can point to as a success. Remember that his predecessor was paid close to £250k pa, I doubt Khaled is on significantly less.

    In his interview with Ben he actually pointed to flatbreads and new ovens as his successes, that really is quite damming in itself for a CEO of a business with a £15m turnover to point to that as his success.

    ...and even they (the flatbreads) only lasted about 5 minutes, since when the catering offer appears to have returned to the status quo.

    Give a dog a bad name and all that BMW. The current board and his immediate work colleagues will know how competent he is. The current board should also know if any of the earlier alleged incompetence's were down to him or others. If they have doubts they will surely be monitoring him and hopefully acting accordingly. It is after all early days under the new regime.

    Is it not a group that decide or is it literally an individual?

    No one said he didn’t. We all know Conway appointed Schopp. I’m just not buying the CEO appointing Duff, a manager that’s only managed 2 games as a positive when it can still go either way if he’s decent or not.

    Again you’re clutching at straws for positives, it’s like you can’t let anyone say a bad thing about the CEO without you having to try and defend him. If you don’t think you’re constantly defending the guy then please have a look at what all we can see. The fact is countless people have said this about you, so either we’re all lying or it’s true. It’s not just on here it’s been said too. You’re either so arrogant beyond words or you just severely lack self-awareness.

    Well we’re lead to believe we have a recruitment team that identifies players and head coaches. Clearly must not be the case?

    On Schopp we abandoned the usual process and went straight to appointment. Khaled wasn’t at the club until September, but we were rapid in getting Schopp compared to our last few coaches.

    You don’t have to buy it. Because nobody is suggesting it.

    You’re also completely missing the context that my original reply, which you’re repeatedly jumping on, was actually to someone who appears to have forgotten that Conway did appoint Schopp. That’s all it was.

    I dont really think the conway connection is that big a deal - His predecessor - Dane Murphy (not Conway )is generally accepted to have done a decent job and he was a Conway appointment
    For me not much from Khaled is positive, starting with the West Stand debacle, not so much the closure which may have been unavoidable I dont know but the whole way it was handled. I doubt he was solely responsible for appointing Poya but that was a disaster, certainly some of the none football items havent gone so well food, cleanliness of the stadium etc - I am just not convinced. Maybe he will win me round I have no complaints with the appointment of Duff and our Transfer window trading is OK given the finances which he cant be blamed for, but this Hex fiasco looks bad and I cant imagine this happening under Murphy , Ganaye or Mansford.

    In support of Loko - I disagree with some of his views but never found him 'arrogant' or 'lacking self-awareness.'

    I back Khaled because he's the CEO of the Club I support and I think he's doing his best for the Club and its supporters.

    (I R - making personal attacks on posters diminishes the points you are making.)

    At the moment I'm not sure this is a constructive conversation. I really have massive doubts over the Hex sponsorship, but feel we've got to get behind Duff, the team & hope that the transfer window pans out OK. After that, yes, let's see. If it is the second best transfer window in history I'll be shouting out too. Long way to go as yet.

    I’ll put 2and 2 together and guess Hex an American enterprise was brought in by our American Hedge Fund investors who probably somewhere have a friendship / business relationship with someone involved in Hex . As for Khalid the West Stand Debacle was a total **** up but he’s still there and Conways not , the Crynes seem to be back with more influence so you’d have thought if they blamed Khalid he would be gone

    I thought (assumed)it would be the same for Managers as well as players.
    Loko has replied saying for Schopp not the case, either way was my point really for those just blaming Khaled for the appointments of coaches.

    If I remember correctly Dane also took a lot of stick when he first arrived that too was possibly linked with Conway.In fact it wasn't until he'd gone we realized how much we missed him.

    I don't care where he came from or who brought him in. Didn't con way bring in Dane Murphy?

    Could it be that Khaled was judged because he shut the west stand almost immediately after starting the job and gave absolute ******** reasons for doing so? Rather than the illogical excuse of it being because con way brought him in, despite people's reactions to other CEOs brought in by the same man being different?

    Completely wrong.
    People warmed to Dane when he started doing interviews. Nothing to do with him leaving.

    There is no Paul Conway agenda.i think it's weird that you've invented one

    Didn't count but I know when he did one particular video interview he came across as genuine and won a lot of people's respect. As opposed to someone else who did a similar thing and spent 2 hours dodging questions

    You're right BMW.
    GG, Ben Mansford and Dane were all pilloried on here.
    All of them.
    Consistently and frequently.
    This Hex thing is a total clusterf1ck but the feeding frenzy on Khaled is not necessary. Personally I'd rather wait until we know more before passing judgement on anyone.
