Before that we had Doyle who only wanted the land and who can forget John Dennis who got us to the prem and all that money went somewhere as 3 years later we was in 3.5 million of debt. We must have signed George Histrov for 20 million?? And now we have property developers in charge, now i wonder why they bought the club. They had the January transfer window to show us there intent and well its not the club at heart. I am fed up and pissed off because this as far as i am concerned is the begining of the end.
    We received £18m for our season in the PL in 1997/98 .

    We spent decent sums on Ward , Hristov , Fjortoft , Tinkler , Barnard plus fair wages too .

    We built a new training ground and indoor facility and an Academy .

    When we dropped down we signed Sheron , Dyer , Hignett , Shipperley and Van De Laan for good money and built the North Stand .

    I don't personally think John Dennis took anything out of the club and the wages we were paying at that time caught up with us .

    I didn't renew after Kieth Hill, quote probably the worst appointment I've seen at Oakwell.

    PC stepped up when the vultures were circling, if he ended up making money from it then I have no issue with that although many will,there are folk who think that rich people get rich by keeping poor people down and therefore rich people are bad.
    If PC hadnt stepped up when he did, as a fan with the means to save us, where would we be ?

    In terms of the club now I pick my games, lets be honest it's not been much fun down there in recent seasons and as they say "when the fun stops, stop"
