Barnsley: EFL charges League One side with multiple breaches of regulations

Barnsley finished fourth in League One in 2022-23 and lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the play-off final
The English Football League has charged Barnsley with multiple breaches of their regulations.

The charges relate to the period the League One club was under the ownership of Paul Conway and Chien Lee between 2017 and 2022.

The Tykes said the charges "are the result of an investigation initiated by the club" and that they have fully co-operated with the EFL.

Conway, Lee and the club have 14 days to respond.

Barnsley have been charged with the following:

Failing to provide the League with correct and/or complete information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares in the club despite a request for such information being made by the League.
Failing to provide the League with the necessary notifications regarding the ownership position at the club.
Failing to publish accurate information on the club's website concerning the ultimate owners of the significant interest in the club.
Allowing individuals to acquire a position of control without prior clearance from the EFL.
Failing to act towards the League with the utmost good faith.
In addition, Conway and Lee have also been charged with causing the club to be in breach of EFL regulations.

EFL update January 2027: The EFL is still considering all evidence.

EFL update May 2029: Barnsley will receive a small slap on the wrist, a £5 fine and will not be allowed to sell pies on the first game of next season. Anyone at the club between 1910 and 1911 will receive a 1 year ban from football. And a strongly worded letter.

The EFL will not be making any further statements and considers the matter now closed.
