Snippets from 21st March 25 Wonder if @dougokane88 ever got the chance to speak to Neerav he could ask where is the £100 for charity? If Watters was so highly thought of why loan him out? How's the top 4 squad performing this season? The budget is reducing so not reinvested?

@BBCMOTD As bland and template based as most Nike kits, minimal effort maximum price

What do you make of England's new kit? 🔴

@SimonSteer11 @antclare78 @TheGodfatherUk @BarnsleyFC 100% correct poor recruitment far too many gambles Cosgrove, Watters, Dallas, Lofthouse, Shaw Quality over quantity is what's needed, the squad imbalance is ridiculous trying to play a back 4 without proper full backs and a high line without pace has been suicidal at times

@antclare78 @TheGodfatherUk @BarnsleyFC Look at the accounts. Majority is wages with rest running cost. Those apparently greedy bastard actually put £5.3m of their own cash into cover the losses👍 issue for me poor recruitment which everyone is now feeling. Last summer expectations being cleary / Kelly. CH & Fans 😡

CH seems to be after the sack, or he’s making sure expectations are rock bottom for next year if he IS still here. Yes he’s been shafted on recruitment but his decisions baffle me week in week out. It’s not working @BarnsleyFC in the dugout or in the boardroom. Time to go.

@TheGodfatherUk @antclare78 @BarnsleyFC We aren't making 3 x the loses of most league 1 clubs using the word most is an exaggeration, Burton 8m Wycome 9.8m, port vale 6m. Even Exeter proved the fan owned model can't work with a 3m loss. Last summer was a record amount of out of contract players and we dicked about

@antclare78 @BarnsleyFC I don't disagree with the statement re aims, but for as long as we make 3 x losses of most L1 clubs for whatever reason, it's very hard to compare against another club. Something has to give and it's not a good position to be in on either side of the fence.

@Zak_Watson_26 @Georgrundo @BenLockwood @dougokane88 Correct, the deal was there to be completed.

@JonnyCave @Georgrundo @BenLockwood @dougokane88 One of which was dom Ballard the top scorer in the league

Just contradictions eh @dougokane88? Could’ve swore early in the season that Conor said he signs off all business. That’s what made fans buy-in, that the Head Coach (a football person) was having some input. Now he says “he’s given what he’s given” What a mess! #BarnsleyFC

@Georgrundo @BenLockwood @dougokane88 He also went on record saying he chose not to pursue certain players after speaking with them as he didn't think they were the right fit, its a shambles

@BenLockwood @dougokane88 But he did beg and plead the board to sign McGoldrick? Who won’t be on peanuts…

@dougokane88 Hasn't once took one bit of accountability for his own performance ● Hasn't know his best side since day 1 ● playing players out of position ● Freezing players out ● Turned down players in the summer ● Created the busy schedule by calling games off when we could have played

Conor Hourihane on the chants aimed at him and the players last weekend, ‘knowing where we are’ and his meeting with Barnsley’s owners last week barnsleychronicle.com/article/35033/…

@BarnsleyFC When's tickets go on sale for next seasons 46 dead rubbers ?

Tickets for our trip to Luton Town begin to go on sale tomorrow morning 🎟️ barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2026/marc…

@NoContextBrits Penny stun

How do you pronounce this?

@LeonWobYP From an ownership point of view everything looks short termism, direction of travel seems to get ripped up and rebranded far too often, sticky plaster signings or short loans. We don't have a spine and can't grasp the philosophy of solid league 1 players with "some "youth

🔴🔴Comment: Are Barnsley becoming as comfortable in mid-table as they were in 80s & most of 90s? The caveat being that was in the division above, not the third tier. Piece #barnsleyfc yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football…

@90sfootball @EmilioSansolini Jimmy greaves has to be in over Shearer twice the player Greatest finisher ever

A possible England All-time XI. What changes would you make? (via @EmilioSansolini)

@Craigjo11805279 @DAMO_RUSSKY Yep 4.8k per week You can see why we cant afford a certain type of player any longer 5k per week = 260k per year 3 year deal = 780k Employers National insurance 104k over 3 years So that's 884k before any bonuses, signing on fees,agents fees and a transfer fee Games gone

@DAMO_RUSSKY Is that right? 250k/year to play in league one It’s an absolute joke

When bang average league 1 players like Barnsley's are getting 250k a year. You know the game has gone!

@KieranMaguire And yet the EFL are against a regulator proposing a wage cap. It has to stop somehow, somewhere, these losses are year in year out with no sign of the tide turning

Port Vale lost £6.1m in 24/25, when the club finished 2nd in League Two. That works out at £117,000 a week...in League Two. This takes total losses to over £17m from when the company that currently owns teh club was formed in 2014 The club's losses were underwritten by a £19.6m loan from owners.

@Mishi_2210 127

Brain Teaser Answer is not 72 then whats the answer??

@Barnsleyfcpolls We've had one it didnt work he set out the blueprint for head coaches to follow, complete waste of resources

Do we need a Director of Football, Would that help ?

@JowettWyat18756 @necrodeathhead @BarnsleyFC Not Connor that buys them ? You sure about that? Most input into signings than head coach over past few years, passed up many players in the summer because he didn't fancy them

@necrodeathhead @BarnsleyFC Not connor who buys them

Defeat.

@oakwellgrovest @BarnsleyFC How can Lincoln piss the league with a 10th place budget then? Do we just keep blaming the budget? Luton are still getting parachute payments and sit 11th ? Difference is we fuck about with recruitment signing players for down the line not what's needed at this level

@BarnsleyFC How does Hourihane get team better when his best players are sold ? We were already struggling with DKD without him its a joke. Nareev Parekh said we had 13th budget in lg1 so there is only him who can make things better, thats more funding or put club up for sale.

@90sfootball The last ever domestic game Playoff final 2000 Ipswich 4 Barnsley 2 not a great day for us Tykes our 1st ever Wembley appearence Ipswich were a magnificent team and despite leading 0-1 it got away from us, I will never forget the humbleness and kind words from their fans at FT

What was the FINAL match that you watched at the Old Wembley Stadium? 🏟️

@WrexhamTN @FootballLeagueW You are missing the point, you are judging this from your experience as a home fan. So you are telling me Wrexham is a better away fan experience than somewhere like Bramhall Lane, The Hawthorns, Elland Rd I'd even rate Lincoln above you,one of the best fanzones around

@JonnyCave @FootballLeagueW may be a different story but match time atmosphere wrexham right there with anyone

Debate below.... GO! 🗣️⚽️

@WrexhamTN @FootballLeagueW From your biased perspective as a home fan but as an away fan sorry to inform you its nowhere near a good away day
