None of the above, apart from Moore, who has at least shown he wants to play "proper" football. Plus, allow him to sign players who will fit in with what he wants.

If Casson wants us to be playing decent football, then Gary Brabin is the last person he should be appointing!

How about Jim Harvey. .he's had a bit of a bad luck with his recent clubs..but he is a proven footballing manager who did a tremendous job at morecambe and established their academy and was a great believer in bringing young talent through. I remember John coleman now managing Accrington saying that Harvey was the first manager who taught him what to do when he never had the ball (which is the vast majority of the time for any player) as oppose to when he had the ball. Always looks to get the ball down and with bags of experience plus probably wouldn't cost the earth. Could be a great choice.

I was considering putting Jim Harvey down as an option, but just thought the Morecambe success was just a bit too long ago and not sure how much en vogue he is now. But I agree it could potentially a go route to go. I would personally love to see John Coleman at Barrow even though I'm not sure how popular that would be and very unlikely to happen anyway.

Ideally we want someone like the Cowley brothers, it's just finding them that's the problem

Everyone has to start somewhere. Grant ignited his playing career here with us after the Cumbrians discarded him. That's why he has a connection and affection for the club AND FANS.
He could play and manage with support.
Give him the opportunity... nothing to lose and it may be the right move.

This is a tough one. No one is really jumping out as a good fit for us. Moore has had a hard task post Cox and not had the rub of the green v Tranmere or Guiseley. He has a positive approach to the game but is it enough to get the job? results needed.
