I was there DCFCA, where were you?

I'm staying over for Saturday's game against Cardiff as well and will be joined by the rest of the family. Supporters, one and all.

Did CK pull out in December or was he pushed? Didn't he put a deadline on it? Did Q take the line that they thought they could get more or was it that CK's deadline might have been earlier than the process in place permitted?

Glad you enjoyed being ‘beside the seaside’, MA,

For me the disappointment me is the things we have had to sacrifice since December.
I fully accept we don’t know all/any of the details and that Q may not be to blame...but when you consider the players we’ve lost, at mainly ‘bargain’ prices, since December...not to mention the opportunities to strengthen that were also lost, while CK mosied over to investigate Preston, then it is frustrating.
If what now looks like happening imminently (hopefully) had happened five months ago there is a real chance we’d have avoided relegation and the loss of revenue to the club that represents.

No worries. Most of us are sadly all too aware of what the future may hold and just really want to see the takeover sorted ASAP.
If you read this forum you’ll recognise that most of us recognise that it’s a while since we constituted any sort of example of ‘how the mighty are fallen’ but there’s no shortage of others...look at Boris Becker yesterday!
Hopefully he won’t be the only ‘Boris’ to get his comeuppance before much longer and maybe Derby and your lot at Barnsley will be fighting it our to return to the Championship this time next year.

The Championship is now a pipe dream for us. The mega rich current owners have no intention of putting a penny into the Oakwell coffers and won't pay for a new toilet never mind a new West Stand. I for one would genuinely like to see a northern version of AFC Wimbledon who would work their way up the leagues. That's the level of resentment felt by many supporters.

As my Dad used to say, if your Aunty had b******s she'd be your Uncle! Lets just hope CK has his ducks in a row and the takeover is completed in a timely fashion and we start in league 1 next season with a functioning club that has a chance of promotion!

Agreed...and keeping Allsop, the back four, Knight, Sibley, Morrison, Thompson and the coaching staff would be a great start imo. Like to keep Lawrence too...but I suspect the temptations may be too great.

We could probably have 3 or even 4 decent players for Tom's wages! So not bothered if he goes.

Yep...makes sense...the nine I mentioned plus three or four, suited to the more ‘rigorous’ demands of League One, and paid for by the saving on Lawrence’s wages would see us well on our way.
Lawrence’s time with us has been mixed to say the least but if/when he goes good luck to him.
I’d imagine the attractions of playing for Rooney in a stadium such as ours will see no shortage of takers...PROVIDING things are sorted properly and quickly from here on in.

That seems a big IF at the moment.
