    I couldn't say that at this stage steve , depends on a number of things and lets see how he's backed .

    If I think he's the main factor should we go down then I'll say so .

    Will those of the anti-Cryne tendency explain this one to me.

    The business smart, savvy Gang of Four went out of their way to state that what attracted them to Barnsley FC was the fantastic way it has been run over the years preceding their takeover. Why do you disagree with them ?

    He has now sold the club showing a not insubstantial return on his "investment" which I have no issue with
    Correct me if I'm wrong but I have not seen any serious improvements to the stadium since Mr Dennis's revamp
    so why is there a different standard applied
    Is it because he's from Wombwell & "one of us"
    No agenda here just the position as I see it
    I suppose it’s early days and we don’t know how this will pan out but there’s not much difference apart from PC took over a loss making Football club on its knees where as this consortium has bought a profitable football club . PC also carried the burden of keeping it going by himself where as the new lot have spread the burden 6 ways and it’s small change to them .

    I'm not so sure how hard he tried to increase the size of the board which you yourself has commented on in the past

    The business of running a football club isn't just limited to how much profit it's made .

    ASOS is a very profitable company but trust me you wouldn't want to work for them .

    We are in profit to the detriment of the playing squad , that's a fact .

    As far as I'm concerned that's now all in the past and I won't be commenting on the previous ownership anymore because they aren't relevant .

    It's not so much that SB , answering your question honestly and how I view past events only seems to lead to confrontation's on here and the new ownership gives everyone the opportunity to move on .

    I’ve no idea if he did. I’d have liked to have seen more people involved though

    What I will say is this , the deal he's managed to obtain for the club is incredible , way way more than I thought we'd get and for that the bloke deserves a great deal of credit .
