As a Barnsley fc supporter, I have nothing but praise amd thanks to Patrick Cryne. It was thanks to him that we still have a football club at all.But time moves on and so does football. Patrick Cryne is a businessman and in business thought decisions have to be made. The removable of Lee Johnson for the sake of Barnsleyfc is a hard decision but one I feel that has to be made. I don't like to see anyone sacked but 8 defeats in a row is unacceptable. In any other walk of life such a performance would be unacceptable. So act now Patrick whilst we still have a season left.
If it's down to business decisions, PC needs to sell up ASAP. He can't keep avoiding critics is just because he saved the club. Time/footballs moved on. The clubs on its arse & as been for last 4/5 yr. all under PC's watch. What was a sellable asset 4/5 yrs ago is now being run into the ground & rapidly. I don't just blame LJ. The book stops with Mansford,Watkins & ultimately PC. LJ was giving the blueprint of how the club was going to work from here on.LJs failure has been his failure to coach/train these players on the training field. The rot goes far deeper
Can't argue with that, but don't know where we are going from here. Potential buyers don't seem to be queuing up to pour money into the club exactly do they if we believe what we are told.
He cant or wont because he made that school boy error of a statement. Backed himself into a corner has Cryne. Multi millionaire business man makes a monumental error running his business. Poor business plan to start with, employs a manager to coach young players with no experience of doing that. Employs a Chief Ex whos never run a business before and has no experience in the job, surrounds himself with yes men and family. Takes any criticism badly , runs the club in a state of limbo , constantly threatening to go and sell up . Hasn't got a clue basically.
I keep asking myself about fan ownership - how much worse could it get? We'd almost certainly drop to the 4th tier, but it's looking like that anyway and we'd finally feel reconnected to the club
