A word on the Barnsley's manager

Recommended Posts

Derby and Sheff Wed could also be in trouble; ultimately Wigan are in administration so that’s the penalty.

Believe Wigan going to court regarding relegation. So wouldn't celebrate too soon.

They surely can't change it now.  That would be too cruel and totaly immoral. Wigan will have to have the rules applied as they have for other clubs have done in the same position. Harsh, but it would be even harsher on Barnsley now.

They can change it - that’s how appeals work. 

The situation is a huge mess, but that is the EFL for you.

Think it is harsher on Wigan caught up in a scam. EFL need to sort out their rules on owner vetting.

It's been a rule for a good time now.

Administration brings points deduction, at the end of the season it will be applied to relegate the club, alternatively if the deduction won't relegate the club, they start the following season on minus points. 

It's happened to other clubs previously, everyone knows the rules.

Surely Barnsley would take legal action if they suddenly got relegated?

Could the administrators take the EFL to court for allowing this change of ownership as something very dodgy is obviously afoot there.and the new owners weren't fit and proper people (unlike the previous ones obviotsly🙄)

Does the rule apply when an owner sells the club to themselves for a betting scam to go through.

The fit and proper person test is just whether someone has unspent criminal convictions for fraud, not declared bankrupt and hasn’t been banned from being a company director. The person who bought Wigan didn’t fall into any of those categories so past the test. 

The fit and proper person test isn’t a judgment on someone’s intention or if they are actually competent it is a simple legal test.

Indeed, which is why I would want any potential owner of Norwich City to submit themselves to a much more rigorous independent assessment of their financial standing and business history and competence. Not being willing to do that would be a strong indication against them.

So how are we expecting the Saudi's takeover of Newcastle to unfold? Would other serious crimes not come into consideration?

I'm not saying the current rules are fit for purpose, but they are and have been the rules.

For any club (outside the Prem of course) to go into administration is clearly a desperate situation. It is more than likely that relegation looms and in L2 it could mean dropping out completely.

Football has never been squeaky clean and I don't think it ever will. There is just too much temptation for people to get involved who have no real place in much at all apart from a prison cell.

Struber is also a fantastic coach and if Wigan's appeal is unsuccessful then Barnsley could well be an outside shot for the top 6 next season.

I've not seen his football, but thought his passion was top class.

Barnsley must have a good eye, as their previous coach Daniel strendel played good football. Have you seen much of strubers football this season @repman ?

Totally agree, the whole thing stinks and is **** for both clubs as neither know for certain which league they'll be playing in next season and that's without the inquiries ongoing into the Derby and Sheff Weds misdemeanors.

The football is similar, if not even more intense than it was under Stendel. Struber has better pedigree though, coming through the coaching ranks at RB Salzburg. The most remarkable thing about Barnsley is the fact their side is incredibly young, and coming into this season was also basically untested at this level. The squad had 135 C'ship appearances between them, with 128 belonging to one player.

There must be more to it than that, because John Ryan failed for not being able to prove he had adequate funding.

That is a different test. Before they even get to the ‘Fit and Proper’ person bit you’ve got to prove you have the money.

Something along the lines of:

 

”Are you stinking rich?”

”Yes”

”Are you Chinese?”

”Yes”

”That’s fine”

 

?
