imagine you're going to buy a used car and the salesman asks you how much have you got to spend ? you tell him £2000, you'd be suprised how many £1200/£1500 cars become £2000 cars when the seller knows how much you've got to spend. good luck for your future Mason and thanks
Very true. But too complex an issue for a lot of folk to grasp. If you want to know the details don't they get released within the accounts next year?
You can even put it simpler than that. What business is it of ours to know the ins and outs of the deal anyway. It's not like it's our money. The only person who needs to worry about it is PC, because it's his millions that are bankrolling the club!
Correct but without the good paying folk of Barnsley and beyond going thru the turnstiles there would be no club!
And fans receive something as consideration for their money, entrance to watch the match/es. Said it before and will say it again (and make no apology for doing so) but there's a real misplaced sense of entitlement in the modern football fan.
Couldn't agree more. It's a fact that the Internet has opened up communication means. those "pays me money and il say what I like" folk sadly need to take a breath sometimes. That's not to say criticism is bad or should be discouraged, far from it but sometimes it goes too far

Is it the fault of the average fan if they've got that impression? If none of the above is true and the words are just empty and we have no entitlement as you're suggesting, then why say them and build up an impression that is incorrect?
It's all just ballacks then? And what we've been told in meetings about it being our club is not an advertising slogan.
I see it as ballacks yes. Makes me cringe. The club offering the information they do in meetings is a totally separate matter. They are offering that information to you. Because they want to. Not because you have a right to it. If they don't want to tell us something they don't. They tell you it's your club, we've got loads of threads on here demanding information because the club aren't open enough, how so? Just my opinion. I've personally never been to a meeting and probably never will. I just want to turn up and watch them play football.
