Investing themselves to make the club more valuable at the point of sale so as to achieve a profit .

Does that sound unreasonable ? .

I choose the word investing please note and not donating .

Why not invest in electronic advertising to raise revenue streams .

Why don't the owners sponsor the shirts ?

What about sponsoring the ground ?

I'm not so much a dinosaur that I wouldn't be totally against that if the money was right because it would be always Oakwell to me .

Instead we've owners who haven't even paid for the club four years in .

If that's modern business today and floats your boat and you are prepared to accept it then that's up to you .
No it’s NOT being unreasonable.
As everyone on here has their point of view and we want to hear it.
But what I would say is that your view is misguided - because like me, you don’t seem to understand how business people of this type of wealth operates.

I’m a very old fashioned working person - who only understand a process where you work, save and spend.
I’ve created a decent sized business but I still consider myself a miner - principally because of how I deal with money.

Wealthy business people don’t see money like this - they see money as a way of making money - no matter who’s money it is they are spending.
A good example of this is Richard Branson - he sees a business he thinks he can improve - and then brings in investment to pay for his ideas.

Chien Lee and his colleagues see Barnsley Football Club a bit like that.
Im sure they get pleasure from owning Barnsley - Chien wouldn’t have flown over for the playoffs if he had no interest - but it’s also a business that they intend to build and make better.
….. as they said…… ‘we won’t go crazy’
But they will build a layer of bricks at a time
