Conway & Chien Lee have left the building

Facts can't be rubbish, we did under PMG achieve our first automatic promotion in 25 years and our highest league position in 21 years which was also our 3rd best season in 135 years. These don't make up for the lousy season or weak transfer windows but on the other hand these failures don't erase the significant successes either.

I'm going to point some things out Ponty but at the same time I'm going to add some balance too .

There's little doubt in my mind that since the start of this analytical strategy to discover young undervalued talent , develop and sell for profit that this club have focused on that first and foremost and if the results hitched a ride on that then happy days .

Patrick Cryne's January of 2017 when were 7th in the championship and a point outside the play off places , we then sold Hourihane , Winnall and James Bree and finished mid table .

We then sold Marc Roberts in the summer of 2017 and built a new squad of young players that summer who weren't ready for the championship and we were subsequently relegated .

We made an awful lot of money and the books were not only balanced we were in profit but none the less we were in league one minus £8m of sky tv revenue .

In January 2019 under Stendel we were closing in on the top two and then sold Potts to Preston for £1.8m but the most damming sale of that window and spoke volumes was selling Moncur to Luton who were our direct promotion rivals , nobody but nobody sells a player to a direct promotion rival and helps them , Moncur went on to score two late goals in the closing weeks of the season which effectively denied us the league title , we also loaned Isgrove to Portsmouth who were also a direct promotion rival .

Once back in the championship we then sold our spine , Pinnock , Lindsay and Kieffer Moore and were extremely fortunate to stay up on a unprecedented night at Griffin Park , if covid hadn't interrupted the season we'd have gone down under Struber .

Val's 5th place finish last season was a tremendous achievement but because clubs were struggling financially going in to a season knowing full well it would be played out in empty stadiums we were able to keep the squad together other than Jacob Brown who left for Stoke .

We were always sell our best players , we will always lose successful Head Coaches to bigger clubs but nobody will convince me that player sales since the later days of Patrick Cryne and the entirety of PMG have come before results on the field .

The evidence is clear to see .

Parekh's letter and the wording in it to fans yesterday confirmed it .

Well let’s just hope Conman and Dog and their cronies do sell up. As they are selling a lg1 club, worth a fraction of what we were last season and fewer players assists than when they bought it. With any luck they’ll lose £m.

It's beginning to emerge what was suspected all along.

The Arseoyle has not put a penny of his own money at financial risk. All he has been doing is represent the PMG Investors (anonymous people) at Barnsley. "Investors" is a strange way to describe them as Conway, on thier behalf, has used up the club's bank account reserves, paid the first instalment of money owed to purchase the club from club accounts, used up all the income and sold players. All without "investing" a penny.

Hopefully The Arseoyle and Lee will sell their shares and finally draw the curtain on a dark period in the club's history.
