What's he like, I wonder? I know he had some involvement in San Jose who currently sit lower midtable after a four-nothing thrashing by Toronto last week. I used to punt on MLS but it's become too unpredictable now. The previous week San Jose put three past Galaxy without reply, in Los Angeles.
Again, Barnsley sit lower midtable in the second tier and you have to ask yourself, why Barnsley? Maybe it's a mix-up of letters to do with the names of his offspring Brayden and Tinsley. I see that the Chinese are involved too, and others. I don't expect 20 million to go very far but that could just be a starting point.
Barnsley face fellow middle-of-the-roaders Aston Villa on Saturday but I see no mention of any takeover on the Barnsley website. It could be a slow site or maybe they're trying to keep it quiet. Either way, I wouldn't mind seeing the club getting a shot in the arm.
