We keep having this debate.
Why do so supporters keep claiming that the Barnsley Directors are NOT football people!?!?!

As said numerous times before - are any directors of any football club in the English League ‘football people’ ???
I can’t think of any club that is made up of names such as Dalglish, Shearer, Ferguson etc etc etc.

Our directors know full well they are not football people - hence the employment of a DoF to work with the CEO.

What happened with Lee and Conway - is that they were found out.
They were using money generated by supporters and money generated by sales via the successful recruitment team - and using that money to invest back into the club - without using any money of their own.

It would be great to see our directors making a bit of money - because if they were then there’s a good chance that the club would be successful.
But - to make money they shouldn’t be relying on income solely generated by us and the club to invest into the club.
That’s no risk with potential rich rewards.
Any fool can do that.

What we have now in Neerav and JAQ are people with money that want to be part of the English game.
This is part of their hobby.
They are not here to make £££millions - there are very few individuals that have made money by becoming a director.
They expect to lose money.

A pact has been formed between Neerav, JAQ and the Crynes.
The last I heard the Crynes were happy with this arrangement.
Importantly - if the Crynes are happy - the supporters should be happy.
Basically because the Crynes have the club at heart.

However - we have got to the very last week of the 2024 summer transfer window - and IMO we haven’t got a team - never mind a squad.
To stand any chance of doing anything this season we need more players.
That’s 3 or 4 strikers and a spare left wing back.
We are talking another 4 or 5 players.
That’s a lot of players in a short space of time.
The chances are - we are going to fall short of that.

Whatever strategy the club has had at the start of the window seems to have failed.
This is on the back of a mixed bag of player signings from last season and the appointment of an atrocious head coach.

Even though these directors were weighed down by relegation and the mess left over by Lee and Conway - the new board of directors set off really well in their first season with the appointment of Duff.

Since then some poor decisions have been made - so I’m guessing something behind the scenes has changed.
What ???
