Before the 20/21 Championship playoffs - Chien Lee himself said on television ‘win or lose the club will be stronger next season’.
He thought he could do that without the involvement of James.
He soon found out that he couldn’t.
Instead of the club getting stronger it dropped like a stone to the bottom of the Championship.
TV football pundits keep scratching their heads trying to understand what is happening at Barnsley.
They are doing it now - and they did it when Stendel, Struber and Ismael were head coaches.
These pundits are not realising that the power within the club lies with James.
The combined force of Neerav, JAQ and James is a formidable one.
