Barnsley Football Club

Neerav Parekh became majority shareholder and chairman of Barnsley following a boardroom restructure in 2022 that removed the controversial Pacific Media Group consortium. Parekh's family controls Pidilite Industries, one of India's largest adhesive and chemical companies. He has overseen a period of stabilisation at Oakwell after years of ownership turbulence.

The Cryne family have been involved with Barnsley since Patrick Cryne acquired the club in 2003. Patrick served as chairman until selling to a consortium in 2017, but the family retained a stake. Jean Cryne returned to the board during the 2022 restructure, ensuring continuity with the club's recent history.
