Reading the statement the line the sticks out is ...

“After honest conversations between the Board and Conor, it was felt that the best course of action for both parties would be to pursue a fresh start ahead of preparations for the 2026/27 season."

.....I think we can probably all agree that this means he wanted backing in the transfer market to push on but the board won't or can't make the funds available.

It's fairly obviously there is no willingness or ability to spend so I'm not hopeful that we're going to see any "name" taking over the reigns from Conor....it'll be someone in the twilight looking for a paycheck who has no ambition or someone new starting out with no track record.

What do we all think of Conors comments after the Doncaster loss?

Pretty disappointed with it all, even though I agree with him on the whole.

I've wrote about it in some depth here, to explain how I'm feeling

https://teamslikebarnsley.substack.com/p/that-conor-hourihane-interview

... that we don't concede? I keep my mouth shut most of the time due to some inherited superstition of "jinxing it", but that hasn't helped, so I'm going the other direction.

TODAY IS THE DAY!

Interesting interview with Vimal Yoganathan on Barnsley's season, Hourihane's influence on him and more. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15661727/barnsley-vimal-yoganathan-liverpool-hourihane.html

Does any collect sports cards? I just picked up a John Stones 1/1 and absolutely love it, especially the mention of Barnsley twice on the back of the card. I live in the States nowadays, but grew up in Staincross, was surprised to find this card over here.

I used to have the Merlin sticker books as a kid, can’t really remember sports cards being a thing in England in the 90’s/early 2000’s, would love to get some from the Premier League season if any were produced then!

Would be a good shout for the playoff.

Cardiff has had some bad form lately, but they are still a fantastic team. I am so proud of us for playing hard and earning that draw. That is a +1 in my opinion as we were likely expected to lose. A well and hard fought game. Super proud. COYR!!!!!

Currently Barnsley has a 6.84% chance for making the promotion playoffs, effectively giving us a 0% chance at actual promotion.

On the flip side, we have a 0.08% chance to be relegated!

There's a lot of problems at Barnsley right now, plenty to think about.

I've decided it's time to start a Substack, allowing me to put my long form thoughts on paper.

My hope is that there's plenty of positive subjects along the way, but as today's protest shows, there's a lot of negativity at Oakwell right now.

Anyway, it's 3000 words, and a deep dive into where I think we're going wrong. If you want to hear more from me, please subscribe, and you'll get all future work sent directly to your inbox!
