Chinese Billionaires

I can see they brought in Ctrip the biggest China online travel agent as shirt sponsor for Nice.

Perhaps having China Steel on our shirts could be controversial around these parts :-) :-)

Wtf has religion got to do with Chinese buying out Barnsley

Because Chinese Christians would be more likely to buy Barnsley because of the connection.

Personally I think that it would be a good move for Barnsley. Not just as a club but as a town and for the people within it. It would give then a bigger profile around the world which it/they would never get in a million years.

Has there ever been a club let down by foreign investers? I suppose Blackpool are the only smash and grab club. Bournemouth could be described as a success story for stability but what about Leicester City? If there was ever a club/situation you'd want to copy then that's the one.

Would I like this to happen to Rotherham United? You bet I would! Everyone who has been part of the set up of the club would eventually change as new people would be brought in to replace or help as the club grew but they would anyway.

The fear isn't the development of the club, ground or team. It's the fear of the free fall of the club if they were to leave one day.
If a billionair is going to buy the club he'll be in billionair circles thus Barnsley won't be dropped! They'll be resold at worse!

I say get behind it! Thank everyone for getting you to the point your at and enjoy the ride. Afterall we as supporters have no say in what happens anyway!

Good post frog .

It's the fear of change and the unknown isn't it ? Just like yourselves we've always had local people running the club , we've had just like yourselves a local rat in charge with Peter Doyle who was our Booth , we've had Risdale too who spent an entire season's budget in a fortnight , no shyte sherlock given his previous at Leeds .

If I'm reading the chinese right we won't see £20 million pound footballers but we hope to keep the likes of Connor Hourihane , Marc Roberts and Sam Winnall with the odd sale of Alfie Mawson to the PL if you like .

The fans wont just stand there and do nowt if we suspect ulterior motives I can tell you that , they've picked the wrong club if their motives aren't genuine , this club means too much to too many people and the folk of this town won't stand for it , Doyle and Risdale bailed out when the heat got too much .

Fingers crossed that a new exciting era is upon us , so pyssed off with selling our players frog and it's time we saw some of these lads taking us places instead of at other clubs .

Blackpool
Blackburn ( no contact with owners in 2 years)
Charlton
Wimbledon (even renamed there club ouch)
Cardiff ( before it was eventually sold)
Coverntry
Villa (currently going down pan)
Bolton (why they were bought out with such a huge debt I have no idea)

As I said short term grate but soon as you don't show results it goes in the storage locker with rest of the billionaires junk

Football is cyclical just enjoy it clubs like ours have to enjoy the good times when they come round.

Hope it works out for you all. Proper club genuine fans.
