I'd also like to add that the removal of Conway , Lee and Hung was done by empty plastic seats at Oakwell during the final third of the season and not done by the Supporters Trust or the present board.

If ST holders had turned up during the final third of last season nothing in my opinion would have changed.
============================

This is untrue.

Two of the current new board members have explained how Dane Murphy informed them in August 2021 that the contract between Paul Conway & some of the shareholders Conway represented expired after 4 years which was December 2021, and that they immediately began working on securing these shares & working together to obtain a majority shareholding which is now the current board.

Fans staying away from matches achieved nothing other than help knock further the confidence of players who were already at rock bottom & the youngest squad in the championship. But what would you care? you wrote you couldn't care less if fans like you staying away led to the club going out of business "if the club dies it dies" you said, and all over a temporary blip in 135 years of ownership. So much for young Barnsley players like Marsh forging a career or young fans enjoying a lifetime of support like us older folk.

So don't insult fans with these fantasy stories to justify this crap take ownership of your own words & actions.

The only fantasy is that you believe those in high positions on Grove Street actually care about you .

They don't , they care about how much money they can extract from you so that they don't have to use their own money to somehow extract a profit in the future .

The only reason they acted on Lee , Hung and Conway was because there was a great threat emerging that the club's financial position with fans not attending and likely not to renew ST's this season meant they would have to make up the shortfall from their own pockets or place the club in administration .

Nobody but nobody lifted a finger last summer with the way Conway was trashing the club , not a peep .

I wrote a post giving a modicum of praise to Khaled & the supporters trust and awaited the abuse. And of course you provided some first, but quite bizarre you have labelled me as not a 'reight' fan because i am not giving the £135 i won in the club draw straight back to your mate Conway & all the other millionaire shareholders of the club, but thanks for the free financial advice.

As for last summer, do you really think the approach should have been..... "Conway we want you out of the club because a few weeks ago we were two matches away from going up to the Premier League & have just had our best season for over 2 decades?".... and remember this was due to the excellent signings of Ismael, Helik, Morris, Brittain & Dike & also by refusing to sell & cash in on Woodrow & Mowatt......you just aren't making sense & are rewriting history as that wasn't the position of the club at all, we had a large increase in season tickets & hope for another good season (or a least we did up-to the poaching of Ismael).

The problem with most of your posts is that you are so consumed by hatred for Conway (and now the rest of the board it seems) you are incapable of properly assessing the issues at BFC.

Ah last summer, 2021, that would be the time Conway refused to extend Dane Murphy's contract, made himself CEO, appointed Schopp as Head Coach and went out on his own to sign Cole, Oulare and Iseka. It sowed the seeds for bottom position on 30 pts and relegation. The Investor Group Conway represented certainly wanted him out of the club.

Last summer was just weeks after we had achieved our best season for 21 years & our 3rd highest position in 134 years so the atmosphere among fans was generally positive & season ticket sales increased. This was thanks to Conways Barnsley putting together an excellent squad & management team, and also Conway refusing to cash in on flogging Mowatt & Woodrow for a few million. We didn't know at the time that the signings of Oulare etc would be so poor although Benson is starting to show his potential. This is why the Conway Group failed badly, as it didn't make sense just a few months after such a successful season & the instigators talked as if we had just experienced 3 consecutive relegations rather than a play off to the prem season.

You are correct to say the Investor Group starting plotting to oust Conway last summer, this is based on comments from the new board who have stated that Dane Murphy let it be known Conways investor group contract expired in December 2021. I don't have any further detail on this, maybe someone else does.
