No qualms about us screwing over Kings Lynn - he was non-contract and we've put in the seven day approach. They can rightly be annoyed with Holt, as he's clearly given them assurances he'd be there for the season, but seems Barrow have gone about things the right way.

So, whose place is he taking in the squad?
If the reports are right that he's coming in as player/coach, he won't take anyones place in the squad. He'll be classed as part of the management team i'd imagine.
If he's playing at all, that means someone isn't...
Probably only to be used as a sub, but that means White is less likely to get a run out (unless Harrison is off).

Can’t see holt starting or playing many games but I can see him here as a stepping stone to his managerial career or even future Barrow or Carlisle manager.

A signing (player or coach) like this obviously means PC is tightening the purse strings. Well done Paul and Andrew. Over to you Pedro ;)

Just another ex player that's played in the highest English league possible and was once the highest English goalscorer in the premier league who comes with a wealth of experience. Stop being so miserable, massive coup for us

Having read that non league article where he said it was a no brainer he sign for kings lyn cos of family etc and assistance in coaching role I think he has not treated them well.Yes he is ex pro played high level loads of experience
but appears he just following the money if coming back here.I can understand the people who think he be good asset but can’t say I am impressed with way he has gone about things.
