A few observations relating to comments about my post.

First and foremost.
Be careful of what you wish for.
If the owners walk - Oakwell is boarded up - and Barnsley hasn?t a football club.

As for the HCs.

It was Patrick that changed the system from manager to HC.
The reasons behind that have been explained previously.

If you take Morais out of the equation - who in my opinion was given the impossible task of converting the old system into the new one - at a time when a new ownership was taking over.
And also you take the Conway Season HCs out of the equation.
Then over the last few years the HCs have been impressively successful - to the extent that I can?t think of any other club that?s had their HCs poached more than Barnsley.

What the focus should be on is the last 3 seasons of this ownership.
Out of the last 3 seasons we have reached the playoffs twice.
Most clubs in this league would snatch yer hand off if you offered them that level of success.
But there has been a glaring mistake that the last two HCs have not been able to adapt to how the club is set up and wants to play.
(Although Hourihane is a stop gap he?s continued in that vein)
So the question has to be - what has changed that the club suddenly is appointing poor HCs ???

During my lifetime - these owners have by far the biggest potential to be successful.
But to do that they need the right advisors.

And no - I don?t want recruitment to go back to an old guy stood on the touchline of a school playing field in the pouring rain, wearing a flashing mac, flat cap and smoking a tab end while patting his whippet.

I?ll stay with the stats, thanks.
