Talking to a lad at work who attended a forum last night at Huddersfield Town with the new owner taking centre stage .
The new owner was asked about the club's finances and could they expect some big signings this summer .
Yes if we receive offers for our players that meets our valuation .
Where's the money gone then he was asked .
Huddersfield Town received £200m for their two year stay in the PL and all of it went on transfers and wages .
In fact the owner at that time Dean Hoyle had to inject a further £11m in to the club last season out of his own pocket to sustain the club .
Now this is a club who you could argue have gone about things relatively sensibly in the PL compared to many other clubs and yet despite two years in the PL they still spent £11m more than they had coming in .
They are using the parachute money to build a new training complex .
Looking at that it makes you wonder whether it's worth the bother .
£211m to play two season in the PL and finish the final one rock bottom with 3 wins all season I believe .
Feckin madness .

I am more than happy with the Championship and even League One TBH. Some may see this view as small time and unambitious. But I would rather have Barnsley well run and sustainable, than them looking over their shoulder at the spectres of administration and liquidation. Ask fans of Accrington, Wimbledon, Newport, Darlington, Scarborough to name but a few. No lads I am more than happy with BFC right now. Look what happened when we went into the Premier league...... administration that's what.

Madness innit. What has happened to the game I fell in love with as a kid?

Why are Barnsley fans concerned with the price of Premier League football ?

Well .....I have to answer this one......
Don’t be feeling sorry for the Dog Botherer’s Animal..... Dont be fooled by the “We have done things right, and the whole system stinks.... syndronme. .. it appears some of my local brethren have woken up.and smelled the Sh!te !
The GOSPEL according to “HARD DONE BY HUDDERSFIELD. “
“Where’s my money gone.
“Where’s my money gone ?”
“Far far away.......”
MY GOD! I wish we had had a tenth of the parachute money they’ve had.....
And where has it gone???
After two years of telling them what it did to our club, they suddenly realise that the £140 million they were going to have to spend to ROCKET them back into the Prem ( where they belong , OBVIOUSLY, AS THEY'VE WON IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!,,.... .
Has, in fact disappeared.........
In fact the owner at that time Dean Hoyle had to inject a further £11m in to the club last season out of his own pocket to sustain the club .
( Well, it WAS his OWN DREAM,.... and when the ship sank, the Captain upped and left.......( Cue Whistles, and a big band!!)....
Now this is a club who you could argue have gone about things relatively sensibly in the PL compared to many other clubs and yet despite two years in the PL they still spent £11m more than they had coming in
(YES, THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO BE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN THEIR SECOND SEASON!!! LOL....
“They are using the parachute money to build a new training complex”
.(WHAT SH)TE.... CANALSIDE WAS ALREADY FINISHED TWO YEARS AGO,.... They shut their academy, they did t invest in youth, they invested in GERMAN AMD FRENCH FLOPS.
“Looking at that it makes you wonder whether it's worth the bother .”
Yes, it’s worth the bother, ...... just don’t think you are Man U , cos you beat them once in the Prem... There is better models out there....... Burnley, Bournemouth, Wolves....
Just not BILLY BOLLOX, CONCOURSE WRECKING SCUM FROM THE GALPHARM.
Reminds me of another club with grandiose self importance........ who went down twice. .mmmmmmmmm
Sunderland was it?
Animal......... if that’s what they’ve been telling you over your snap break ...... it must be true....
They are feeling sorry for themselves... Don’t be taken in by their tales of woe.......
Eat your snap at lunchtime , and smile politely.....
They are not worth batting an eyelid at.
Don’t be feeling sorry for them...... .

This isn’t totally true .They were losing a lot of money in the Championship like nearly every other Championship club does.
In their Promotion season they lost £22m
Their first season in the Premiership they made a profit of £23m so nearly a £50m turn around !
TV income on their Promotion went up by £102m but their wage bill also went up by £41m
They also employed an extra 45 staff which is good for the local economy
When they were promoted they spent £58m on players and received £7m in sales
When the club were promoted Hoyle lent the club a further £17m so they were ready for the Premier League, a big chunk of this was the bonuses he paid to players and staff which was about £10m.
In their first season back the club paid him £19m back but were still in debt
You’re right though they are pretty much back where they started but are in better shape than most relegated clubs

Just to add to that you could say their lauded ex owner has actually left the club £48m in debt ( to him ) in his tenure. If he ever asks for that back is another thing but at least PC left us debt free.
So yes they had a journey they never expected in the Premier League, spent a shed load of money and got nowhere and a lot of their fans are left a bit meh about football in general after it all.
