There are still unanswered questions.

Will Lee, who still owns nearly a third of the club, and Conway, who has a much smaller number of shares, now look to sell?

Who are the three other investors in new director Julie Anne Quay’s group, what are their intentions for the club and how much will they, as a group, want to be involved in the running of the club?

Is the legal case between the Cryne family and BFC Investment Company still ongoing?

Will the council now be more amenable to selling their half of Oakwell to the club or are all parties happy for the council and the Crynes to remain joint owners?

What is the explanation for the £750,000 paid to the Cryne family from the club rather than Lee and Conway’s group?

Then there are the more basic issues of appointing a head coach, filling a £7-8million post relegation gap while building a squad that can collect the roughly 80 points needed to compete for promotion in League One, and winning back the trust of supporters still wary after the Lee and Conway years.

Some of those questions may be answered later this month during interviews. Others will only be answered over the next months and years. But it is the kind of change behind the scenes which the club needed as they look to make a fresh start after a horrific season.

It is unlikely to herald a total change in the strategy of recruiting mainly young players in order to develop them, which is a major opinion-splitter, particularly after the club got the balance badly wrong this season and lacked experience.

It was Patrick and James Cryne who introduced that philosophy after a previous relegation in 2014. But hopefully the new board – including chief executive Khaled El-Ahmad – will learn lessons from recent events and have a more blended squad of youth and experience, with the focus on winning games not just developing players for big sales.

There is certainly a chance for a fresh start, with a much more joined-up approach between the board, recruitment department and coaches than last summer when Conway ‘went rogue’ for which he later apologised.

If they can navigate the tricky next few months, with a big turnover of players expected, and get the majority of decisions right, then Reds could start to move forward again, united with the fans.
