No one literally no one would pay anything like DC would want for us in our present state. It's total ridiculous to suggest otherwise. He's made shed loads of mistakes but right now he's the one pumping the money in to keep the club afloat. Imo now is really not the time to chase him out or even wish him gone. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DlNGLE Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Makes fascinating reading this thread, everyone that’s posted in knows just how bent and incompetent the footballing governing bodies are, but still you seem to be worried, even if you’ve broken the rules, you’ll not be punished with anything other than a stern word and a couple of threats, (In public) behind the scenes your owners won’t even get that, they’ll just get an handshake and a wink, whilst ever you’re still able to contribute to the running of the EFL & HMRC you’ll be absolutely fine. The only time clubs are really punished, is when their money runs out, and they’re no longer able to attach sweeteners AKA backhanders to any correspondence they have with the EFL, so while you’ve still got a few quid you’ll be absolutely fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking as one of the "Usual Suspects" who has his "head in the clouds" please answer the following: 1) Given that the money for the stadium sale has only just about got us back on an even keel, do you think that is the end of our financial difficulties? 2) If there is no penalty, how do you think DC will act going forward, will he change his ways or will it be more of the same (in other words yet more trouble further down the line)? 3) If we get a points deduction that relegates us, do you think that DC is the right person to revive our fortunes given his track record to date? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come Birmingham got the 9 point deduction not so long ago? They can't help lying Barnsley fans, its part of their very essence. They come out in the sun every so often, travel to the big bad city, tongue-tied their utterances are difficult to understand almost Gollumesk. Their countenance should not be looked upon for long for sickness will prevail, they not from the dark side like their distant united degenerate kinsmen, but one should be wary of them for they search out and revel in misery and once found will do their upmost to drag you down to the depths of the pits of Barnsley.

Absolutely spot on, parachute payments are the scourge of the earth, the theory behind them is sound enough but the application is totally bent. Having said that, when you gamble everything and it doesn't come off then you have to get ready for the fall out as we are finding out now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
