Fans Engagement Forum 6th of Nov

Could someone ask the club where my sons house key is please?

 

No point the monkey being there giving his pre prepared answers from those above him. Without any of the owners there to take responsibiity for what's gone off (and we have enough of them) the meeting is pointless happening.

 

are we living the script of the emperor’s new clothes?

 

Here you go-


Why have Daniel Stendel's efforts and achievements at the club not been recognised and acknowledged by the board?


Why is any communication between the club and the fans probably at its lowest ever standard?

Will the people at the club who target potential signings ever consider tweaking the plan and signing quality/experienced players rather than youth they hope that can be developed in to profit?

Where have the millions of pounds of profit made over the summer via player sales and promotion and season ticket sales and sponsorship gone (no way has it all gone back into recruitment as the figures do not add up)?

 

Assuming we stay up although this is increasingly unlikely. Does this mean if any offers come in for any of the squad not out contract then they too will be sold regardless of its effect on the quality of the squad?

 

I've got two:

1. Are the Directors of the football club paying themselves anything from the club coffers and if so how much & for what?
2. When the likes of Conway / Hung / Lee visit Oakwell from wherever they travel from are they paying for that or is the club footing the bill?

 

1. How are decisions made by the owners/directors? Is there a hierarchy? Is it majority vote? Is one person given more power than others and if so who?
2. Why was Daniel Stendel sacked?
3. Can we have more detail about the Hong Kong investment vehicle and how it is structured? Who are the shareholders/investors of that vehicle? Are there more people invested in that investment vehicle that we don't know about?
4. What is Billy Beanes involvement at the club?
5. What is Neerav Parekhs involvement? Are their plans to generate awareness and commercial opportunity in India?
6. Why did they sell OGC Nice shortly after saying they were there for the long term?
7. A new academy. The owners have mentioned the Nice Academy several times and how it was invested in (around 18m euros). This project was started years before Conway and Lee invested in Nice. How much of the investors money was actually invested rather than had already been committed by the previous owners?
8. So if it is the intent of our owners to fund an academy on a similar (or lesser scale), where will that money come from?
9. Is it the intention to fully own Oakwell and its surrounding land? If so, what are your intentions for that land?
10. If you don't succeed in bringing ALL the land and buildings into the ownership of the football club, will your investment be reconsidered?
11. New city capital. can you explain why at least 2 of the main images on this site have nothing to do with you as owners. The BFC play off final win... which occurred years before the consortiums ownership. And the ground of OGC Nice.. which was owned by the council and built many years before your involvement.
12. Are Paul Conway and Chien lee billionaires. Just a yes or no is fine, just to clear it all up.
13. Can you give a progress report regarding increased commercialisation and branding on overseas markets which were stated as being a key area for growth? What activities have been undertaken and what outcomes have been secured to date. And what additional efforts are to be made to generate additional income and revenue?
14. Do you consider the statement of the summer transfer window of "the best transfer window" to now be inaccurate?
15. Last time we were relegated from the championship under your ownership, you said it didn't matter to the long term project. If we are relegated in May 2020, is that still the case? And if we were to be relegated, what would you consider to be the main factors in that? Recruitment, coaching, lack of investment, underachieving, being unable to compete in the championship for the size of club we are..., anything else?
16. How long (in years) do you expect to own Barnsley Football Club considering Nice was a long term investment and lasted less than 4 years.
17. Do you understand that the sacking of Daniel Stendel was hugely unpopular? Do you understand that the 21 word statement has created untold bad will in long term loyal supporters? How do you expect to address these issues caused by the sacking of Daniel Stendel?

That should be a nice friendly starter for 10.

 

Are the club in any sort of dialogue with Barnsley MBC to alleviate the difficulties of getting to and particulary, getting from Oakwell on match days? Is there to be any attempt to manage traffic flows on surrounding streets and to better manage the situation in the car park?

 

1. Why was Daniel Stendel sacked?

2. Refer to number 1.

 

I'm willing to go to Florida and meet Mickey and the Princesses for you so you can attend the meeting. I'm also great at taking up to 60 kids at a time on trips and keeping them safe and entertained. Just let me know the flight number and where I can collect the Disney tickets

 

Excellent work

 

Olive bar?

Pigeon **** on seats

Will all be topics raised ahead of owt else less important.

 

1. Why did you buy Barnsley Football Club?
2. What is your definition of success for Barnsley Football Club?

 

1. Do you think that winning football matches is a good idea for a football club?
2. Do you worry about what the fans think of you?
