I hope this isn't true?
Surely we are better off in current league ?
Paul Casson needs to stand.

Need some kind of reassurance from Paul Casson on how he sees the present situation because the last time Cox said we needed 4 more quality players he said we had a decent enough squad if he's still sticking with this attitude then we are doomed!

More worrying tonight is that the bottom two sides Solihull Moors and Torquay both won away tonight.
They both have winnable home matches on Saturday and if they do win those matches and Barrow lose at home to Aldershot we will be bottom of the table.

Well we have really excelled since he moved on haven't we

Cant believe the anti Cox feelings on here

He was manager when we finished 7th now we are in a relegation battle.

Lets face it we have been in free fall since he went, so lets stop pretending it aint so.

We need a new manager before Saturday or we will possibly be bottom of league then.

We will be fine once the mystery new manager has sorted out his relocation this weekend.
Steve Herbert supports the nob theory - Saturday 4th February 2012.

If this bus crashed and everybody on it died, Barrow football would end - Daz Boyle, Boston away, August 9th 2014.

Im not anti cox.. but he blew the wonga when it should have last longer... perhaps if coxy had been nearer march or april before blowing budgets. . Just maybe then might the cassons have dipped a bit more! Catch my drift?

Certainly get your drift but let's face it him going having to pay Micky and a new assistant then another new manager may be costing more in the long run

Plus we would probably be still in FA Cup if Coc had been in charge last week

However it's all water under a bridge and we are where we are

However need new manager appointed before next game I feel

Cox built a shit, unbalanced team, spent weeks trying to work his way out when some other clubs came knocking then [SwearFilter] off as soon as he could.

The club then [SwearFilter] around too long, and appointed the wrong man.

The club and cox both have a lot to answer for this season, and we just need to rally, stop up and write this year off and go again. Need Diarra, Fitzpatrick and Jones back from injury sharpish, and tbh probably one or two more good, conference standard players in there.

Lower wages
Less cost as not full time
Less travel costs
Reduced running costs for commercial side , ground improvements etc.
Even the Caretaker Manager has said we need more players as did Paul Cox as did Mickey Moore
Only person not saying it is Paul Casonova
