    Conway became co-chair because the major shareholder Chien Lee wanted him there to takeover the lead role at the club.
    Lee and Conway were business partners before the Barnsley takeover.
    The investor group will have followed advice from the Chair at that time - Chien Lee.

    And from that there was a contract put together that enabled Conway to be in charge for 4 years.

    When that contract expired - and the Crynes, Neerav and JAQ had witnessed at first hand how Lee and Conway operated - they pooled their resources to get Lee and Conway out of the club.
    It wouldn’t shock me to hear that the clubs approach to the EFL is another lever in achieving that.

    We should be thanking JAQ to the high heavens for doing that.
    So please get off her case.

    On top of this - JAQ brings a total breath of fresh air to the usual stale fuddy duddy old fashioned cobweb covered proceedings of a football club.
    She brings with her a positive attitude (which some in Barnsley just can’t handle) and with that a multitude of new ideas.
    She is EXACTLY what Barnsley Football Club needed.
    Where are your sources for this information Nudge ?

    Are you denying that Conway set up a Special Aquisition Company in the USA to pitch to the New York finance market about profits that could be made from undervalued European soccer clubs and by player trading ? How else do you think four New York Hedge Funds together developed a sudden interest in Barnsley Football Club. They gave Conway four years to make the promised profits.

    Which company were Lee and Conway "business partners" in?
    Lee came from a budget hotel business chain based in China.
    Conway was in partnership with Grace Hung running the Pacific Media Group.

    Lee and Parekh were business people attracted by the European project Conway and was pitching to the Investor Group and they grouped in a Consortium to buy the 80% of Barnsley FC Cryne put on offer. Lee was the major shareholder so was one Co-Chairman. Conway and the Investor Group were the next biggest shareholder and Conway became the other Co Chairman.

    The EFL Findings will soon show which version is correct.
