Romared Match Thoughts Crawley Town v Barnsley

[Young_Nudger]

It's good to discuss football with people who actually understand the game Nudger. No offence pal but to put it bluntly-tha talking absolute garbage. The nuances of the game completely escape you.

Sorry cocker I’d rather listen to Mladen Sormaz on his evaluation of Collins other than listen to you.
Then again when it comes to Barnsley Football Club I’d probably rather listen to Blossom off Powerpuff Girls before listen to you - no offence like.

I told you the sacking of Collins was coming.
And it did.
I have no inside information from the club but it’s as clear as day what they are trying to do.

Suggestion Passy - tha might think my assessments of Barnsley are left field - but many are later proved reyt - so listen up.

I haven't heard what Sormaz has had to say about Collins. What does he actually say?

You could see Morais was at the forefront of changing the old style to the new style.
He had a good squad but he was trying to put round players into square holes eg McBurnie tracking back as a defender etc etc.
Stendel also suffered from the transition that was going on at the time.

As for Schopp and Ashbagi - we all know the influence Paul Conway had on the HCs during that season.
So blaming the HCs for that season is clearly an attempt to get Paul Conway off the hook.
Obviously SB continues to be a big admirer of his.

We all know what happened with Thalhammer.
And as per usual SB twists it so it gives him the opportunity to dump on the club - as he always dumps on the club.

Back in 2017 before you were banned from BBS you were salivating on there with the rest about the riches Conway and Lee would bring to transform the club. I was almost a lone voice back then saying he was a wrong 'un and kept saying it.

The Thalhammer saga was fact and never denied by the club. No need to "twist" it, it writes itself. Luckily we probably dodged a bullet there but he was Parekh's and Sormaz's first choice.

The discussion about Lee and Conway has been done a thousand times.
But just to repeat it again:
News media said that Lee came with a wealth estimated at £££ 9 BILLION.
Due diligence was carried out before they bought into the club.
Patrick Cryne was happy to pass the reigns over to Lee.

So was it any wonder supporters including myself was saying this has got to be the best set of directors ever assembled at the club.
Finally we had a boardroom that consisted of a family (Crynes) that had the club at their hearts coupled with directors worth BILLIONS.
At long last we had money at the club like most other clubs of similar size to Barnsley have had.

However - Lee and Conway came with an hidden agenda - which deceived:
The people carrying out due diligence.
The Crynes.
The media.
Other members of the board including Neerav and JAQ.
Most of the supporters including me.

Obviously there were some negative supporters looking for an opportunity to dump on the club - and as usual predicting doom and gloom.
I’m sure SB you will have been one of them.
So you are clearly happy with the outcome and the relegation resulting from that.

As for Thalhammer.
No - the club did not mess it up !!!
When dealing with people moving here from abroad advice MUST be sought.
That advice informed the club he would get permission to work here.
That advice was wrong.
Against the beliefs of most of the general public - it is very difficult indeed to get into the UK.
It only takes one tick box not to be ticked and you can’t get in.
Sormaz gave us an explanation of what went wrong.
The club had followed all the right procedures.

As for Thalhammer himself.
Why do you condemn him by saying Barnsley dodged a bullet - even when he didn’t even have chance to show what he could do ???
That statement is beyond miserable.

Thalhammer plays the type of football that the Barnsley Directors want the club to play.
So he would have been a perfect fit.
But the club didn’t land him so they opted for DC - and to say it’s only the beginning of the season he is doing a great job.

You're too late to send your comments to the EFL Investigation that correct due diligence was done with regard to those who were to control the club. The EFL were not too happy.

JAQ was not an original Director at Barnsley. Her husband Matthew Edmonds was owner of one of the Hedge Funds that comprised the Investor Group that helped to put Conway in control.

Most clubs seem to be able to appoint HC's and players from abroad because they know the rules. It is the first I have heard of this un-named specialist Consultant Company who got the Thalhammer advice so badly wrong. Did we sue for compensation ?

Thalhammer spent nine years coaching Austria Women and finished up at Conway's relegated KV Ostende. If that is the experience we were happy to appoint then Parekh's and Sormaz's judgement does not align with mine.

Nudgers got me thinking abart a new chant.

'The Chinese Way' by Level 42 could be easily lyrically converted......

🎵The Barnsley Way, who knows what they know the Sormaz legend grows. I could never lie..... for honor I would die..... following the Barnsley way 🎵

Except every HC hums Frank Sinatra 's " My Way " as they walk through the Oakwell corridors Pass .

Maybe even a " That's The Way I like It " by KC and the Sunshine Band .
