    Quote from Simon Davey - with regards to signing players, if you get less than 30% failure rate then you are doing well.

    Duff is too loyal to leave Barnsley until the project is complete. Five years maybe ?

    Duff has a lovely family home in the Cheltenham/ Cotswold area, his wife is a Cheltenham lass and settled there, his kids go to school in Cheltenham and all the family have long established friendships in the area. But those are not the reasons he stayed at Cheltenham FC. It was loyalty and a desire to see the project through. He still commutes weekly to Barnsley from Cheltenham, spending weekends and breaks in the family home.

    The fact that Swansea and Cardiff are do-able daily commutes on the M4 and Bristol City is a short drive away will all be irrelevant to Duff.
    He is here to loyally stay at Barnsley until the project is completed.

    Did no journalist ask ?

    .
    What is the important role that JAQ performs at the club Nudge that makes it essential she remains ? She represents the 6.11% of BFC shares that her husband's New York Hedge Fund own but what is the essential role beyond that ? The Crynes (20.36%) and Parekh (35.88%) hold the balance of power with a combined 56.24% of BFC shares.

    She is part of the boardroom team.
    If you follow her on Twitter you can see she injects enthusiasm and flair to proceedings.
    I think she is a great person to have onboard.

    Her input with the design of the sportswear is invaluable :-)

    So nothing really then, apart from being "wacky". Our very own Timmy Mallett (wacky "celebrity" Oxford Utd fan)

    I can’t see the point of trying to undermine a person who has adopted the club, spent money on the club and shown more positivity towards the club than some fans that have supported the club for decades.

    What was the money she has spent on the club ? It surely can't be The Investor Group (including her husband) who gave Conway free reign for four years as their representative at BFC. Thadda been better playing the "driving women's football forward" card Nudge. Impossible to trump or criticise.
