    Perhaps we could sell The Plan. After all, it's still a young plan, with plenty of time to develop, it was head and shoulders above anything else last season, surely somebody will want to take it off our hands. We'd need to retain an interest - a percentage of future spreadsheet sales - but if the right offer comes in, I think we should let it go. No use getting attached to things.

    Totally agree.Think he will end up back in germany while his reputation is good and no possible relegation on his cv.He has never really been pushing for a new contract,maybe he is missing his family.He has been good for us and bfc hopefully have been good for him.Good luck.

    That’s a very cold and heartless way of looking at life.
    People have feelings - Daniel Stendel loved Barnsley - and so did many of the management staff and players that have been involved at the club over the years.
    Personally I’m annoyed and disturbed about what’s happening.

    My sentiments exactly, as fans all we can do is to accept what's dished up for us, on or off the pitch.

    For me it's before McCarthy
    It was Mick Butler a natural born goal scorer if ever there was one

    Unless the next appointment is special I fear the next will be Mr Woodrow - at a bargain price

    This makes no sense. How can you love a Club but not become attached to players . coaches, supporters. These are the things that make a Club. Not the bricks and mortar.

    I've actually posted along similar lines myself before, and I put into practice the philosophy of enjoying the wins, and not being too upset by the defeats.

    In this case though, it's not something that we shouldn't comment on 'because we can't influence it'.

    These are significant developments at our club.

    This attitude is exactly what the ownership hope we have, then no questions are asked and nothing ever changes. Nihilistic compliance isn’t on my list of reasons I follow football.

    I’ve still not got over Butler being virtually given to Huddersfield

    Let me give it a go then:

    “We love you bricks and mortar we do
    We love you stairwells, we do.
    We love you corrugated iron, we do,
    Oh scoreboard we love you.”

    Nope. I’m afraid it just doesn’t do it for me.

    One day when we’re playing Darfield Rd Rangers you will have to enlighten me so that I too can acquire a Zen like state.

    It's not easy for me. It's like loving someone for years and years, knowing your love will never be returned, and all you have is clouds of silent tears and a terrible churning in your stomach. Nope, it's not easy for me at all.

    I don't think it can be taught. I assumed everyone had it within themselves to not care about people that don't matter to them, but it appears I am alone in my ability to detach myself from temporary acquaintances.

    I’d say that inevitably that detachment will spread to the football club generally and when you view things objectively as fans of a club that won’t ever win anything if you have no attachment to that club you start to question whether you need it in your life.

    Alan Little for me. I still tear up a little when I think if him leaving us. Definitely my first football hero.

    Don’t forget our undying affection for the floodlights.

    My outlook has served me fine since my first game in 1983. I'm still here, I still get furious when we play badly, distraught when we get relegated, elated when we get promoted. But I feel nothing when players and staff go. Cos they always do.
