'Tis not the job of a moderator to stop people writing here. The rules are pretty simple:

reported ad hominem attacks will be investigated (and if found to be true) or write stuff that could get the site into trouble

and you'll either be warned / your post deleted, or - worst case scenario -  banned either temporarily or permanently.

This particular thread has had a vigorous exchange of views, and perhaps more heat than light. But the quality of the debate - it seems to me at least - is down to the lack of information.  That, in and of itself, means that whatever side you happen to be on is for a fan, very frustrating.

So, I have no intention of closing threads just because the quality of the postings isn't great. That is not the role of a moderator.

If you wake up the following morning you can always delete something you wish you'd never said.

I know. Brexit, Syria, climate crisis. Hold the front page - Partick Thistle not being bought by somebody.

Mind you, the front page of today's Herald was, 'Scotrail 'cutting back' on toilet paper and soap', [no, not making this up] I think a headline of:- 'PARTICK THISTLE NOT SOLD' might just be a possibility?

I don’t know how to attach the relevant post, but you said that the separation might be an indication of how Barnsley are run.

And clearly it is how they are run....manager badly treated ( the consensus is he was sacked sorry ‘separated’) dreadful statement, poor communication with the fans and just badly handled....to the extent the fans are discussing how to protest against the Board.....not good

I can’t believe we are still going on about the pros and cons of a group who are not going to be buying us

My fingers are crossed. Been against it from page 1. Is there any evidence or conformation of this?

If it is true that the consortium bid is not going ahead, can we possibly have a reasoned discussion on the pros and cons of fans' ownership, without all the personalisation?

Unlikely.

Damn! Not the history making post.

I asked you directly whether he had been sacked or walked and you said nobody knows. You are putting a spin on this to suit your view.

I said he was ‘ separated ‘ their lovely word but no one knows - as the club hadn’t said Any more than that - or  if he was sacked ....I also said the consensus view locally  is that he was sacked so check the fans forum and local media etc and you will see that is their view ... both points are correct 

I understand it’s not the view in Lenzie as it doesn’t suit your narrative and I also note you don’t address the other points in how they handled it 

so let’s agree to disagree

I have no narrative. I don’t have a positive view of either the consortium or tfe. However, you have a clear anti consortium agenda irrespective of facts backing it up, but care less about the lack of facts from tfe. 

As far as the statement is concerned it is kind of similar to our treatment of Doolan .

The press report it as either “sacked” or “dismissed”. However you translate “separated” I think we can safely assume from all reports that Stendle did not go willingly.
