Just watched the first 40 minutes up to the first break.
If anyone has taken notes then it would be appreciated if you could put them on here as I haven’t a clue regarding any of the questions or answers.
Do I need a new iPad ?
Watched the whole forum after finding out it was live on YouTube five minutes before it started .
Why wasn't this information given out earlier ?
In bullet point form .
The data and analytics model will be re-launched .
We went away from it previously .
Older more experienced players will be signed to help and lead the young lads .
The board have put in to the club £1m within the last week .
More money will be put in as and if required .
Plenty of other stuff regarding the catering and fan experience but the usual talk of improvement .
Watched the last heyf hour whilst also watching Lancs-v-Yorks cricket.
Some bloke keeps saying, "Great question" burra can't hear what's being asked.
Parekh's heart seems to be in it but little new said. I wonder if the £1 million injection of funds will be used to cover Conway taking £750K out to pay an instalment of the "purchase".
Cheers Animal.
It was in the form of equity SB , not entirely certain what that means .
Looks like the court case is still on- going and he couldn't comment on it what so ever , read in to that what you will .
That said there didn't seem to be a great deal of love for Conway and Lee , it was what he didn't say rather than what he did if that makes sense .
The £750k sounds pretty complex to me , I don't understand it at all after hearing Parekh commenting on it who seemed satisfied by it both legally and morally .
I'm in choosing my games territory after tonight .
Parekh has as at least got me up one level from staying away altogether .
The ST will depend on actions .
Yes I’m in the same camp.
Not going to press the ST button until I can see how things are progressing.
I do however get the feeling that Neerav has seen the mistakes of the last 4 years and realises where the changes need to be made.
It’s quite exciting times.
Just waiting for things to start to materialise.
It’s a chicken and egg scenario.
What comes first ST sales or a good squad?
Usually it’s the ST sales that produces the good squad.
But after the foul up of last season I think the new leadership will have to accept that this time it’s got to be a good squad that comes before ST sales.
Right I've found out what raising cash by equity means .
More shares have been created and those shares were bought by the current shareholders .
Not necessarily everyone who has a stake in the club .
I take it as read that Conway , Lee and Hung won't have bought any of the new shares made available .
However what it does is twofold , firstly it provides the business with cash .
Secondly those current shareholders who haven't bought any of the newly created shares have now had their stake diluted .
A £1m worth of shares in Barnsley Football Club would in my humble opinion be a decent amount of shares given we aren't exactly Manchester United trading on the New York stock exchange .
I'd like to see the percentage of shares now owned by the respective shareholders following tonight's news at the forum .
I suspect Parekh has significantly increased his stake .
I also suspect that the £1m raised is pyssing in the Atlantic and has provided the club with some working cash .
Nothing much more than that .
I think further funding will have to be made available to keep the club afloat .
I wouldn't expect the recruitment budget to be great this summer .
