Nowt in Hotten Courier or Weatherfield Gazette , "fake news",

I’m nearly sure I’ve read that the owners want better facilities so it will generate more income for the club ie so they can attract better players.
Reading between the lines - the state of Oakwell - especially the West Stand - is a bottleneck that’s holding the club back.

Chicken and egg

The only reason they may want to own the stadium is to be able to take loans out and use the stadium as collateral .

The loans repayments will be paid back from the club's own funds not the owners funds .

This is exactly what they did at OGC Nice with a whopping interest rate attached .

This ownership will not use one penny of their own money to invest either in the squad or the stadium .

I'd burn the stadium down personally before let these feckers get their hands on it .

There's enough arson abart darn at Grove St as it is.

I probably shouldn't have written that last paragraph because in all reality I wouldn't do it .

However it makes my blood boil to think these feckers get their hands on Oakwell and total control of the club .

At this moment in time the split ownership that Pat Cryne introduced is proving to be a smart move and I will take this opportunity to thank the man for his forward thinking .

What it's done is to expose groups like PMG and their business model which is to place the risk of financial failure on the club and not themselves .

Absolutely nobody deserves to profit in any business if they don't risk money themselves .

Invest yourselves and profit from it then fair do's .

Sorry Nudge, I thought it was clear. No I definitely want be watching them play elsewhere, but the pure fact that they'd even threaten to move us away from Oakwell just isn't the professional and respectful way to go about solving the issues they have.

Yea it was clear.
What I’m doing is agreeing with your comments and then adding to them.

Patrick said on a few occasions - and I heard him say it myself - “if you want to lose money, buy a football club”.
I can’t see PMG making vast amounts of money from Barnsley - but fingers crossed they will do.
Because if they sell the club for vast amounts - then obviously the club is worth vast amounts i.e. successful.

[animallittle3]

There's little doubt in my mind that in the summer when the ownership wake up to the fact over 50% of fans aren't renewing their ST's this will be turned around on the supporters .

Conway and the even lesser spotted one will no doubt find their voices through the local media .

" Turning your backs on the club at a time of crisis "

" Do the Barnsley public want a football club "

The threats will then begin to wind the club up etc etc .

Absolutely no responsibility will be accepted by themselves .

These type of people never clean their own mess up .

They will disappear in to the night like the thieves they are .

It will be left to the people of this town and its fan base to pick up the pieces and plot a route back .

It always is .

After stripping OGC Nice of it's best players--the last one sold being St Maximim to Newcastle--Conway accumulated a transfer surplus of £41 million over two years.
Conway sold Nice to INEOS for £90 million. having bought it for £30 million.
The £60 million profit went to Conway and the £41 mii transfer surplus "disappeared" in creative accounting and paying off loans from a finance company linked to New City Capital.

Nice were left with very little and have now recovered under INEOS.
