Nonsense, Trigger. I'm just interested to know what it said. If the article is about where his money is coming from, then I'm interested in that too. But we don't know how much of the £87m he has in the first place, beyond the initial £16m.

Still waiting for confirmation from board members that they don’t stand to benefit financially or otherwise from this deal btw. The question has been asked via official channels.

Different link Meadow. Not the same piece as the old one you shared via secret discord.

Did the financial investigation find that Dr Mir has £87m burning a hole in his pocket?

Ah, no, not that one. A new one was published today for five mins by the same journo with a deeper financial investigation.

Thanks Bush. Never had anything for or against Barnsley they seem like a decent, normal club.

How many times has Angus Fox demanded you delete things, Meadow?

We got a mention in the referees report six years ago tonight as he wasn’t impressed with the stretcher team “over celebrating “ our first goal in a home game in Wimbledon for nearly 30 years. I think that I can live with it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm likely to vote yes as the alternative is the death of our club. However the source of Mir's wealth worries me.

The article still appears available via a link on Discord. [Link]

Trigger - Barnsley have been on the decline for a while. Had two playoff finishes after relegation from the Championship but finished 12th and 15th last two seasons. Conceded 2nd most goals in L1 last season. Seems like there's been a lack of investment in senior players and too much focus on developing/selling on young players. Makes them a very soft touch. I've heard one comparison to our L1 relegation team. Plenty did predict them to go down this season.

Don't worry, I won't. I have something else on my computer from a few years ago which Angus Fox demanded that I delete. My response was "I won't share but I won't delete it". I think it was unredacted PLC minutes.

Meadow I would be careful about posting anything from it as I would assume legal issues have arisen.

Nicander, I think I pasted the text of that article into MS Word. I'll check when I'm on my computer tomorrow.

Good shout Airsy. Whatever the manual is it goes back to Southgate and even Sven from when we were a goal up against France and he told the most creative midfield in the tournament (Lampard, Gerrard etc) to park the bus and we lost the game.

Feels like a match made in heaven.

Bromley hiring Karl Robinson…?

Could only have been our manual Trigs. Tuchel's wasn't released until after the CL final

Given Arsenal made last season’s final you have to, however begrudgingly because their football is as bad as their weird breed of online fans, accept they could well be right now up there as amongst the top teams in Europe. Arteta’s fault that they lost the final he’s been watching too many Tuchel/AFCW tutorials on holding a lead.

Bloody hell CW just seen where Rotherham are. Feel like they shouldn’t be at risk of being non-league but a quick check suggests their average attendance isn’t significantly higher than ours.

Sadly I think Paris are now clear but Arsenal are the level of the other three with probably the best defence of any of them and the worst attack.

Reckon Barca, Real, PSG & Bayern are just a level above the likes of Arsenal & Man City (the best of the rest?)

Rotherham are struggling badly too

Some interesting discussions on the Barnsley Forum but I can't see much about the reasons for their poor form. What's a 'Pie Lark'? [Link]
