    That’s not what you’d expect from the 5th richest chairman in the league.
    He'll get to the bare bones before building it up again hough won't he Loyal? Well at least let them think that.

    I wonder how they're doing in the fair rules regulaions.

    My thoughts exactly Loyal. I'd be very worried about the long term future if I was a Barnsley fan. The guy I was chatting to said the only reason they're not spending big money on players is the ffp rules. He's obviously gobbling up all the spin!!!!

    A good number of us are concerened and rightly so .

    They purchased their other club OGC Nice by acquiring loans and used the sale of players to pay their loans , £30m whist giving the coach Patrick Vierra nothing to improve the squad .

    Two solid OGC Nice people who were at the club long before the consortium bought the club resigned last month in protest , including the President Jean - Piere Rivee .

    They then took our CEO off us and gave him the Nice job .

    OGC Nice fans are going mental at the situation .

    This is quite a different worry compared to other clubs such as Wendy , they've spent nowt other than a small proportion of what we've raised ourselves .

    That's perfectly fine with us but we want to see the money raised in the transfer market put back in to the club in its entirety .

    The accounts are due to be published very soon , although they don't have to reveal them fully because we are under the turnover threshold .

    Very concerning .

    Sounds very worrying, they must have past the vetting though?

    There's many a billion to be made by asset stripping.

    Nothing as far as I can see in the rules that prevents them from profiting personally from the income generated by the football club .

    Oyston at Blackpool took £24m out for himself from their PL season and he's still in charge .

    Who's going to be the first one to take his ball home with him on this thread ?.

    Speaking of how old fashioned Oakwell looks these days, a lot of fans say they still prefer that type of ground/stadium.

    Remember a game there against us being postponed because of wind around Christmas/New Year (1981?). Was really miffed because I was going as a Barnsley player's guest

    As we keep saying on here that was a good time to be a fan wasnt it, the 1981 era.
