Nothing has been confirmed but surprise, surprise! The moaners are back out in full force before anything has actually happened fueling their agenda's with pure speculation yet again, can't wait for another week of being told the club are going backwards and that we're crap at business and that Nudger should run the club. I mean there's nothing concrete on Hourihane's departure, the 3 mil plus add ons is great business for a lad that's had consistent injury problems, has not played more than 20 games at Championship level, is very inconsistent (sometimes attacking well but not being able to defend and then the week after the opposite) and is out of contract of 6 months. The club know what their doing, yet some people seem to think that this is prime opportunity to tell us all they'd be better at running a club. It's like the fact we just beat the most inform team in the league and are now 8th and 4 points of the playoffs seems to have slipped everyones mind.
Errr, i think that t is the fact we are 8th and 4 points off is why folk are perturbed. Personsally, I'll see what happens. What will be will be.
Last time I checked it was Barnsley 8th in the Championship, not Sam Winnall, or James Bree or despite the fact he is a major part Conor Hourihane, a team and a club is not defined by one player, if a player moves on we move on, starting and fuelling mass hysteria with pure speculation gets everyone a grand total of nowhere so why don't we wait and see what happens. Virtually none of us knows what goes on inside the club on a day to day basis so why don't we leave it to the people that do instead of deeming that whatever they do isn't good enough judged on people's own personal experience of running a football club (which is exactly none for anyone on here)
Nah not aimed at anyone inparticular, infact I haven't seen any of your posts so I can't comment it's just some people in general
It was 20 years ago this year since we last got promoted to the premier league, i was 7/8, i remember bits vaguely, and now we find ourselves in a great position to give it a go again, something that is unlikely to happen again in the near future. Year on year it gets harder for a club like ours to be able to dream what with all the daft money floating about, so for me its important we grasp every opportunity that comes our way. But for some reason the club lack ambition. What is more worrying though, is the dilly dallying about with incoming transfers, so as heartbreaking as it is to lose Conor, we have no replacement to slot straight in. We are likely to plummet down the table, and then next season when we are struggling we will all be wondering "what if?"
Even if we didn't lose anyone this month, they would all leave anyway in the summer. Let's say in hindsight we didn't get in the play-offs this season even with our best players then in the summer they all left for nothing, plenty on here would be saying 'we'd have been better off with all that money so we could rebuild' Last summer we replaced George Williams, Alfie Mawson, Josh Brownhill, Lloyd Isgrove and Ashley Fletcher successfully. Hourihane is more important to us than they were but him leaving is not the be all and end all; there is life after Conor
Here! Here! best post I've read on here in quite a while, thankyou for restoring a little faith back in this board and Barnsley support as a whole fella! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
What worries me is that we continually let contracts run down to the last 6 months and hence end up taking cheap offers because it's better than nothing in the summer. How we can have the likes of Hourihane, Winnall, Scowen, Bree and Davies all in the last 6 months of their contracts is beyond belief. This doesn't seem to happen at other clubs unless the players in question aren't wanted. We're that **** scared of offering extended contracts in case the player turns out not quite as good as first thought or worse - "he might break a leg" that we end up shooting ourselves in the foot.
Winnall and Hourihane didn't want to talk about new contracts. Maybe we should have sold them for £1 million each at the time. We are a victim of our own success and some of you need to chill out. If we'd lost v Millwall just exactly where do you think we'd be now.
Yeah, huzzar for unfounded moaning and constant demonisation of the club people claim to support with little to no context in the argument, huzzar indeed
Ur corner shop shut early tonight greenytyke? Yee of little faith and ambition, with support like yours no wonder the club will never reach the top tier again 'Sigh, sigh and thrice sigh' Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
