    Manager is just a pound shop one trick pony and out of his depth needs sacking straight away. Tactically he is clueless and talks a good game, it’s never his fault.
    Board clueless they couldn’t run a bath and they talk in riddles. All mouth and no action.
    Recruitment is a joke they need sacking along with Clarke.
    Crumbling stadium
    Catering and match day prices extortionate
    Fan engagement embarrassing
    Zero communication
    No investment in the stadium or to entice fans to go there prior to a game.
    Years of asset stripping have brought us to this which is a mid table league one club dying on its arse.
    Scoreboard no bigger than a kindle
    Zero ambition
    Success is gauged on the profit column on a spreadsheet and not on the grass

    SIGN SOME PLAYERS YOU CLOWNS YOU HAVE KNOWN FOR MONTHS ON END BUT STILL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.

    You reap what you sow
    Under this lot the club is dying and going backwards.
    Wonder when the season renewal letters are due out.

    This just makes me think of the Father Ted episode where he explains things that are far away to Dougal.

    Well said. I have never felt so distant from those running the club.

    Some fair points, but I think you could have cut and pasted most of that from last year, the year before, the year before that, etc…

    I’d lump on burton to win - they look like they have turned a corner as we have gone into meltdown.

    I agree mate the fans have been saying this and seeing this coming for a few seasons now.

    trouble is this is now our reality a mid table league one side at best. Ran by a set of people who couldn’t run a 50p raffle stall. In the cupboard there are no more turds that have been turned into diamonds as there is nothing left to sell apart from toby tykes used kex.

    Years of asset striping and no ambition have brought us to this point where we are today. It’s only going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

    manager board and recruitment need to all go as quick as possible. Hopefully the board are putting feelers out to sell the club as under them its dead.

    Disgruntled fans season after season have had the p*ss took out of them. The number of empty seats shows the club they’ve lost the fanbase.

    40+ years of having a season ticket on the trot and even leaving my money in for them through Covid but I’m done and I hate saying that. I’ll treat them how they treat us. These owners don’t represent our community or our town they are so out of touch with the support. Away games only and on the settee for home games. Not a penny more.

    Recruitment....all about the recruitment.
    Wycombe who fully deserved their win aren't all that. They just have strong physically, pace players who have a good system for this division....and tend not to over complicate the style
    They and a few others have learned you don't need to be Real Madrid in this league to get success.

    Don't agree with your comment about asset stripping, I just think they are so bad at running this football club we're becoming a laughing stock. None of them know their arse from their elbow. I genuinely think they need to get the club marketed for sale and get the hell out of Barnsley. I've been saying this since last summer and I'll say it again...Neerav, JAQ, Jeane, James please please try to find a buyer and go, you're making such a mess of this.

    No text on it last weekend, it'd gone the same way as the concourse tellies!

    Marvellous post OP!

    This is a dead club, & within a decade I truly believe we will be AFC Barnsley playing at a non league ground & Oakwell knocked down & the land sold off to the highest bidder if these charlatans don’t get their act together. They need to put the club up for sale.
