Yes, the PMG has its faults but I think the positives outweigh the negatives. They are clued up financially.


Let's be honest, Patrick Cryne pumped a few million of his own money into this club because he was out of his depth when it came to running a championship club within its means. His own mistakes were the reason for us being in debt and also being in league 1 for 2 spells. Patchwork quilt type of job year after year was always gonna catch up with us and it did. Brian Howard, Conor Hourihane and Sam Winnall wouldn't have left this club for peanuts under this regime.

Sorry if that offends but folk need to start facing facts. The PMG are astute business people who stringently run this club and keep us at championship level with their model with an eye on the future. I couldn't give two shiny shytes if they are from Barnsley or not, have any affiliation with the place or speak our language. Time folk started being open minded.
Barnsley was always lauded as a well run sustainable club before they arrived. We were one of the only clubs that ever made a small profit. The consortium said the financials were too good to be true when they arrived which is what attracted them.

When Cryne changed how the club would recruit we were making money for the last few seasons. All this was already in place when they arrived.

Where they come from means nothing to me but I can’t do with people who claim credit for things which they haven’t achieved.

We’ve made a loss of nearly £4m over the last two years by the way, that’s without them paying for the club either yet which they had hoped to do from profits generated by the club itself.
