Just figured out why we sold Barnes to Burnley

Last day of the season...

We're winning at Forest but need Burnley to take points from Reading and Reading are one up.

Knowing that this would be the case and that either Vokes or Ings would get injured before the end of the season Burke planted Barnes as an insurance policy.

On cue, in the 94th minute up pops Barnes with the equaliser that puts us into the playoffs and finally earns him Albion legend status.

Burke is seen sharing a wry smile with Barber and Bloom.

The end.
