I didn’t catch the bit where Khaled said we needed to sell before we bought.
In fact i thought he said the actual opposite - that room had been made within the squad to bring others in.

But - if the owners stick hard and fast to their policy of not using their own money then I can’t see much money being available to bring anyone in.

Worth noting that when Paul Conway described the transfer window a couple of seasons ago as ‘the best transfer window in the history of Barnsley’ then that was probably true.
But the young players brought in during that time - and there was a lot of them - were brought in by using money (eg sales of players) generated within the club ie NOT money from the owners pockets.

As the club is in a downward spiral the value of individual players will decrease.
So if the club does sell a player now or in Division 1 they will not get the level of money they were hoping for.
Consequently not as much money will be available to reinvested back into the club.
A nightmare scenario of a downward spiral - and all of it caused because:

1) The directors are deciding which player shall play and what tactics the team plays.

2) The directors will not invest their own money in bringing in a couple of good experienced players who are able to tutor the younger players.

Spoiling the ship for a penny worth of tar !!!

As I’ve said in previous posts - I can’t see the directors allowing this to happen without changing something.
But we will see.
