Will Barnsley go in for Rodak? wouldn’t blame them or him if he went here if he’s not wanted at Fulham

Will they be looking at Ajayi or even Ihiekwe

Apparently there are comments on a Sunderland message board that deride Barnsley,s achievements and say they are not worthy of the cship on their 5k crowds and their club should be promoted.

Aside from they,ve got a few facts wrong ...5k crowds, not worthy......Sunderland have been given huge amounts of sky money including parachute payments and have urinated it up against a wall.

If any club doesn't,t deserve to get promoted it,s sunderland

Well done to BFC they deserved it

I’ve a slight inkling that Rodak might return.

As for our saleable players then they can go anywhere for me if the price is right

What's the odds of your manager baking him a cake as a thank you?

With a file inside it, because it might come in handy (hopefully)

I too have an inkling Rodak will come back. All depends what % of his wages Fulham are prepared to pay.

I'm pleased for Barnsley. But I'm slightly confused by your statement as, if memory serves, you have stated several times on here that the standard in L1 this season was rubbish. If I have confused you with another Barnsley poster (there are so many on here) apologies.

There's a lot of rubbish in this league no doubt but the fight between the top five to gain automatic promotion was a real battle .

We've lost one game in the last 26 , Luton have lost two since mid October , Sunderland have only lost 4 games all season and Charlton have beaten us all at some stage .

Despite our consistency both ourselves and Luton just managed to gain automatic promotion with a game to spare and it could and possibly should have gone right to the wire .

In that respect it was massively tough .

The profit on Lindsay alone will buy Barnsley a decent backline. They may have to ditch the model of not bringing players in over the age of 24.
Your owners need to back Stendel or indeed you will struggle.

I was comparing clubs on recruitment and size of fees paid and outgoing transfer fees.

We reckon about £3m for Pinnock , £2m for Lindsay , £1.5m Davies and a million for Cavare .

Which gives us about £8m to replace them , the problem isn't the fees its the wages , someone coming to the club for £2m is going to want 12k minimum a week and on our turnover that's not feasible .

The trick is to attract like for like quality for 5k a week which is difficult , to say the least .

It will be a huge struggle , no doubt about it .

Talk about bringing us back down to earth with a bump eh, this stuff about three or four of our players refusing contracts because they know they can earn more money elsewhere etc!.

But I suggested this as well on our board last night about trying to keep our better players, and dropping this pathetic U-24 rule where we refuse to sign 'experienced' players because they apparently dont have any sell on value. That for me is not the right way to run a footy club, and all I can see right now is immediate relegation and finishing bottom of the league.

Football food chain acido , it is what it is , we bought Lindsay and Pinnock from Partick Thistle and Forest Green Rovers respectively , the Millers bought Crookes from Northampton .

Until both our clubs can increase our turnovers then we are both stuck between the championship and league one and it's hard to see that changing anytime soon .

I'm delighted that Barnsley have gone up.

I am surprised but glad that Sheffield Utd have gone up

I can't wait for next season to start!
