Imagine a situation where you, as CEO and partial owner of a club, had signed a player who was unable to contribute to your team and was bringing bad publicity on you for his signing. You can’t sell the player and there is no demand for his services as he’s not played much, 30 minutes, and his contribution in that time has been pitiful. In order to deflect attention from the situation you have a pal who is willing to take him on loan in the Belgian. second tier. It takes a problem away, in terms of a failed signing and allows you to spin the story that it’s in the club’s benefit. Can you actually see anyone on deadline day independently saying to themselves ‘I’ll take that lad on loan, he’ll really help our promotion push’.
That is not how I read your point , you made a list of reasons he might have been moved on for, therefore I assumed you new some facts
Then you read it incorrectly. You stated there is no other reason to loan him out other than a financial benefit to Barnsley. I gave a few completely unrelated reasons why we would loan a player out.
