Podcast with Mr Paul Conway

I can see the logic behind the PMG model. It's very businesslike and offers clubs like us a bit of hope and a way forward, where as under the previous regime we were going absolutely fecking nowhere with an owner that was pretty clueless in running a sustainable football club. 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.

Keep it going Pass - because there ain’t much that you say that I can fault.

Not only Patrick has struggled - most if not all of the Championship owners are struggling.

As for Andy Holts comments - he’s still on the front row in the Chansiri School - How To Run A Football Club.
Old Fashioned, outdated cod’s wallop.

Now we can go down the Chansiri or McCabe, or dozens of other owners like them, that have either gone bust or put £100s of millions of debt around the necks of the clubs they are supposed to care about.
Or - we can thank the foook that we have owners here at Barnsley that want to make money from our club I.e. run the club as a business.

And the beauty of that is simply this - for the owners to make money then the players and the club have to be a success - otherwise they have no value.
And if the players and club are successful - isn’t that EXACTLY what us supporters want ???

I’m not bothered if these owners make a fortune out of making Barnsley a successful football club.
