    Not sure on the format for tomorrow night, or if anyone from the Trust can officially attend, but if we could influence what gets discussed/talked about in terms of the day to day running of the club, what would you want to hear?

    Thinking less of a 'Schopp Out' vibe and more 'West Stand, Ambitions, Oakwell'. No idea if anything will come of it though so no promises.

    The toxic atmosphere Wednesday evening should get a mention and one of your first jobs will be finding a new head coach

    Just here to try and create a couple of general themes, but that's all hypothetical so probably not one you'd get much of an answer to. Be like a BBC/ITV journalist at a Daily Covid Briefing.

    Can you please ask if there is any plans to restart the Fanzone buddy?

    Could be a bit of a baptism of fire for him this.

    Off the top of my head :)

    General Background
    What team did he support growing up?
    Who was his favourite player?
    What are his thoughts on how the game should be played? (i.e style, formations etc)
    What prejudices did he have to overcome growing up in Sweden and how has that shaped his outlook on life and football?

    Role Specific
    What qualities does he think he can bring to the club?
    What are his ambitions for the club under his tenure? (i.e short term & long term)
    Does he believe that it will be achievable for the club - under the current constraints - to get promoted to Premier League?
    What are his first impressions of working at Barnsley?
    Has he taken note of the Head Coaches request for an experience midfielder? And does he think he'll be able to deliver one in the next transfer window?
    Is there any realistic chance of signing Claudio Gomes permanently?

    Mind you from rumours I have been hearing he didn't know much about us when he came, I would have thought that was his first priority to learn about the club he was coming to

    Considering Gauthier knew next to nothing about us before meeting Patrick Cryne, and was recommended to us through an agency, I'm not sure that's a massive shock. Especially when moves are made so quickly

    Whats your favourite colour?

    Cats or dogs?

    Staycation or vacation?

    If a horse had a fight with a cow which one would win?

    What is the difference between dust and fluff?

    Roy Cropper or Hayley Cropper?

    I'd like someone to welcome him to the club and wish him every success.

    And I'd ask that the fans stop being treat like mushrooms so much in the coming months. Kept in the dark and fed BS.

    Communication is key

    Let's ask him then :)

    Questions:
    What did he know about Barnsley FC and the town before his appointment?
    What are his first priorities in the role?

    Anything about Oakwell / West Stand / Steward shortage. How much does he think current setup and the owner dispute is going to effect the club.

    Anything about contract renewals, and plans for January.

    Should add my own to this as I won't be there tomorrow so someone else will pick the themes up if they're able.

    - Is there a three year plan for Oakwell in terms of it's development, the fan experience, and improvements we want to make to the infrastructure of the club? Assuming there is, what are those plans and ambitions?
    - What are our immediate objectives behind the scenes for the 2021/22 season?
    - Are we looking to secure some of our more talented players on longer deals? Such as Palmer and Helik?
    - Do we still believe that Europe, or overseas, still offers the best value for recruitment? Assuming we do, what plans are in place to avoid the Visa situation we faced with Iseka and Oulare?
    - Linked to the above. Does he acknowledge that the start to our season has suffered because of this?

    Can he offer an explanation for the closure of beevor court that goes beyond 'the police want it because of Manchester arena'? Other clubs don't have key access to the stadium closed off so why do we? What's different about oakwell that means we can't have a fanzone anymore, can't have pedestrian access from one side of the ground, can't have vehicular access to one of our carparks and as such have created a nightmare situation out of the other side of the ground? Why us? What are the plans to fight the absurd decision? Also what is the point in keeping the entire side of the ground empty when Pontefract road is gridlocked anyway due to poor traffic management? Seems pointless having an empty access road if there's no access to said road. Also seems very ill thought out having the emergency access point in the one area of the ground that has no vehicle access into the stadium when there's a road just as wide at the opposite end of the stadium right next to the vehicle access point which would impact supporters to a much much lower degree of used?

    Not the cheeriest of questions but one that needs putting to the club to be fair

    I find this a rather personal question, on a rather delicate subject, which is nothing to do with him running BFC.
