After listening to the latest interview of our CEO.
The club hopes the COMMITMENT of supporters will continue next season with ST sales.
Even though the owners will continue to manage the club within their MODEL - that is to say the owners will NOT be spending anything.
To make things simple - if someone on say £30,000 per year is spending £300 at Barnsley on a ST etc then that’s 1% of their annual income - money they have to live off.
Some of our owners are said to be £ Billionaires.
If the owners had the same COMMITMENT to Barnsley as the average supporter has then that’s 1% of £ Billion = £10 Million per year.
Some of the owners are said to be multi billionaires so if everything (and everyone) is equal then that £10 million would be multiplied.
BUT NO ……… us supporters do NOT want these owners “to go crazy”.
But we expect them to at least throw something into the foooking pot !!!
Another shocking revelation from the club.

As usual Khaled was honest which was good to hear.
And Ben and Gally were excellent at holding the CEOs feet to the fire.
Media reports during the time these owners were taking over at Barnsley put their combined wealth in the region of £ 14 BILLION.
Chien Lee alone estimated wealth of £9 Billion.
The Indian fella - family worth £4 Billion.
And we now have a CEO saying we can’t bring in the experienced (leadership) midfielder because it wouldn’t fit the model.

Folk get rich by not spending their own brass.
OGC Nice med this lot a very healthy profit because an investor wanted to buy them art and did so. However, the clubs on their current portfolio aren't as big as OGC Nice or even in their respective countries top flight in most cases.
The PMG may well make a long term profit from their clubs but at what actual cost does it come to them personally? I'd hazard a guess that loans have been taken to buy their respective clubs across Europe so what are they actually risking out of their own pockets? Nowt.
If just one of those clubs gets bigger and better under PMG, then sold, all the proceeds go to them. I think that is their game.
If the clubs they run don't succeed then they run them prudently long term until such time is to either sell or even worst case scenario- that club goes bust. It's a no lose situation really cos they ent spent owt to begin with.
The precedent was set with Nice wi this lot. They made millions out of that club despite selling all their valuable players and leaving the club in a weaker position on the pitch to when they purchased it.
The "too good to be true" comment by Conway at the opening press conference was because they purchased an English second tier club carrying no debt. Ar many Championship clubs have been debt free in the last couple o decades? A bet tha can count it on one hand if tha lucky.

If the owner's of any business is failing financially which our is currently and set to get even worse in the summer .
Then it's the owner's responsibility to find by any means ethically and morally a way to fix those financial holes .
It most certainly isn't the customers responsibility .

I’m not bothered if the owners make a profit when they sell players or finally sell the club.
In fact I hope they do - because it will prove that the club has progressed and is worth something substantial.
However - I do not want to see that profit made off the backs of Barnsley supporters.
The owners must take on their fair share of the load.
I have mentioned this a few times in the past - but I think it’s worth mentioning it again here.
……. NO ONE knows the potential of Barnsley Football Club.
We do however know that we are of similar size to clubs like Blackburn, Burnley and Bolton.
All of which know how many supporters they will attract in the top league - because all of them have had a period of time spent in the top league.
Barnsley never has.
These owners need to be more flexible and less rigid in their business approach at Barnsley.
They might just get a shock if they
…. Prime The Pump.
As things stand - these owners are managing Barnsley as though it’s little more than a corner shop.

Sorry to repeat this again bit we know the truth! They bought this club purely because it was debt free and saw that we were buying nobodies and selling them for huge profits! THIS IS WHAT THEY DO! Nice was the tester! Now they own lots of clubs with the same model purely to make profit and put feck all into the club!

A missed the introductions. Which wun wo Gally ? The wun in the black shirt or the other wun ?
The "event" lost all feeling because they acted as a screen between fans who probably had more emotion and would have come back at Ahmad's bland non-answers and Ahmad hiding behind a Zoom screen. Nearly every answer was just accepted without challenge when they knew Ahmad was responding in bullsh1t mode. Too polite and crawling, Get Beth Rigby in to ask the questions.
It was Operation Save Big Dogs' Lee and Conway and Ahmad was allowed to do his job successfully through boring fans to death with unchallenged evasion.
