Might be out of line saying this as Pat has saved us a few times!! But why doesn't he actually spend some money and get us going rather than keep saving us!! His money will run out evetually and we can't be a=saved then!! If he is a big fan with lots of dosh, then why not buy us some good quality players and get us safe and push us on for next season!! The "box office players" are still waiting to come, the day we didn't go for it and buy Chopra this summer was the day we looked certain for relegation as our strikers couldn't finish last year, if they could have done we would have walked the league never mind just coming home in the play-offs!!! Take away McIndoe, Shuker, Howard and Disco from our side over the last 18 months and our golas for have been awful between our forwards!! Nads isn't doing it either sorry to say, even though he still needs a Shipperley type forward with him!! Richards sorry to say not good enough along with Knight!! Hayes is and it's a crying shame he didn't have Chopra to play with as Nads is to lazy at times to feed off his skill!!!
You don't need great players if you have a decent manager who can build a team that works. If it was my money I'd prefer the right manager before even thinking about players. I have no doubt that, playing as a team in a committed and organised fashion this squad could win games.
Out of line completely As someones already said, its his money, and he didn't have to spend it on saving us the last time. I'm sure he'd rather keep his money to pass on to his children, then his grand children, and great grand children, etc. etc. Why blow it all on Barnsley FC when he's probably worked quite hard to get it in the first place? The only criticism of Cryne I have is when he says things in his interviews that don't come to true, e.g. box office players and an experienced manager
RE: Out of line completely Completely agree! much as I dunt particularly like cryne, he didn't av to plough all the money he has into the club. It's shepherd who is the real problem imo, talks out of top of his head, employs a manager who has no experience except trainin kids, promises reds fans the best n doesn't follow thru!
