    For a start - all these that are saying its a knee jerk reaction - must consider this
    ITS NOT YOUR MONEY THAT IS WRAPPED UP IN THE CLUB

    Its the directors money -
    And they have had to make a decision to sack Ritchie or potentially lose ££££ MILLIONS £££££

    After the palace game everybody was complaining -
    WE ALL KNEW WE WERE (are) GOING DOWN TO DIVISION ONE IF THINGS CONTINUED AS THEY WERE
    Shep has made the decision to try and solve the problem and turn things round
    Ritchie has refused last season and this season to strengthen the squad
    What alternative has Shep got.........NONE !!!!!

    Well done Mr. Shephard
    Remember - the directors are Barnsley folk who are fans as well as directors

    Not true

    All Season Ticket holders have invested in the club this season.

    When we parted with our cash upfront Andy Ritchie was manager, we invested in that.

    Shepherd takes the credit for getting rid of the debts

    Then sacks the manager that gets us promotion without spending a penny and cutting the wage bill and refuses to waste money on players he's not 100% sure of........Shepherds takeing the piss.

    and without the fans there would be no club!

    flip side young nudger, what about the money he has made for them in winning promotion? If you are financially sensible even with relegation they would still earn out it! who knows, i know none of us do!

    one word which best describes you is..............Fickle

    Gets rid of the debts ? £5m mate, just stopped the club making losses. (which in itself is an achievement.

    financial results seem to be more down to

    placing financial restraints on areas rather than marketing ploys to generated much needed income!

    RE: financial results seem to be more down to

    I would say it's partly down to marketting in that there are adverts around the scoreboard and facing into the stands and a sponsor on the back of our shirts. Not saying they're anything dramatic but they will no doubt have helped whereas in previous years we didnt have them</p>

    agree they will have helped but

    to advertise sponsorship opportunities on the websites main page suggest a lack of activity??

    All i want to know is if the board feel that the 5 players who clubs have turned us down/players refused contracts and gone elsewhere are down to AR or the board placing restraints in areas which effect our bringing in of players i.e wages?

    Have you any idea what the biggest marketing tool is, for a football club? I'll tell you! A team that wins more matches than it loses. That was Ritchie's reponsibility and he failed.

    Ticker on sky "it's clear to fans that desired squad strengthening has not been achieved"

    Using your argument, the board are hiding behind the fans - a huge mistake and one that shows Shepherds' naievety as chairman of a football club.

    No goal early on on Saturday and I feel it will be a VERY uncomfortable afternoon for Gordon.

    Didn't BMBC put up £2 million to save the club

    That makes every council tax payer in Barnsley a stake holder.How much did GS put up ( thats a genuine question by the way because I don't know)
