If we can get the type of manager in that can get the best out of a bunch of players who want to play for the club that's great. I don't for one minute think we are going to be fielding 11 locals. Look what Macclesfield did on a small budget.

Lets see what the summer brings, interesting and I don't have the figures but when we came up via the play offs 10 years ago our budget probably wasn't great - we stuck arond in the conference for 5 seasons

The club does need to be moving forward on money making - let's get some pop up bars around the ground for next season, take control of the careering, let's get the shirts ordered and on sale, have a look at corporate pricing for next year, get speaking to sponsors and get people on board -

I know when I last looked at the accounts online they had issued share capital presumably of what Paul Casson has put in - could he sell some shares to other people. The mindset of local businesses has probably been he is a millionaire he doesn't need our money... Lots of hard work for the club to do this summer

What I think would be welcomed is a meeting between the Club and all fan groups, Trust / NSC / individuals, open to all, to look at ways to work closer. He has to be engaged with all fan groups.

I am sorry you say let’s have a meeting with Andrew to talk to him about ways to make the club money why would he start to listen now when in the last 2 years he has not. I for one would not let him get my shopping let alone run the club as he hasn’t got a clue and there is no way they will put someone else in now to run the club as it’s all about there ego

Not any such thing, we have to sort things out in the close season and get organised, anyone is invited to attend and have input.

Psssst . . . . here's a question but I'll whisper it . . . it's just after midday and apparently 99.9% of the population are wrapped up in some wedding or other as I write this, so may I ask if there's any more bad news about our beloved club that you release it right now, right this minute. With a bit of luck (well, for you lot in charge anyway) it'll pass under the radar and nobody will notice it . . .

The general consensus is that the biggest mistake PC made was entrusting the running of the club to AC (I happen to agree, with hindsight). Families eh? But...I don't think it's right to ostracise AC as has been done. He will certainly have been doing his best and it is a very hard thing to do, to realise and admit that you are not up to the job. I'm not sure if that can be rectified now, not without an absolute withdrawal by PC and i hope that doesn't happen.
Honestly, I think we have missed the boat completely now. We're not going to have the funds to get in a dedicated head of footballing operations or whatever you want to call it. I just hope this next season isn't as embarrassing as it potentially could be. If we can stay up somehow then that's great, but if we have to go down then let's go down with a bit of fight, a bit of dignity, and without the owners and the fans at constant loggerheads.

That may be a frustrated remark but it is absolutely true. It IS good business. For those who think he lacks business acumen, this is a (small) bit of evidence otherwise. I bought a ST by the way.

Did the same the season before.
Missed the playoffs.
If he had wanted promotion he could have brought in a few extra decent players and got it
The problem is he would have had to spend money to get it up to EFL standards.
People were derided for saying he started to cut spending last season.

On a wave of enthusiasm people bought early bird season tickets only to find we had only intentions to get relegated.
Luckily Ady and alot of luck stopped that.
I would like to have seen Cassons face
We now see what is going on.
2 weeks ago Andrew said we will be backing Ady ,well we see how you have backed him,then it comes out Ady new what was going to happen making it quite clear a lie was told but that's only one of many promises broken.
Integrity once lost cannot be regained.
Barrow AFC is a ticking time bomb .
If it's true that Andrew has gone on holiday why has the new manager not been named as they new over 2 weeks ago that Ady was being rewarded for keeping us up by been shown the door.
Some of you will remember me saying if Cox got us up he would be sacked I was laughed at.
Someone mentioned beforecl Ady joined us he had got FGR in the playoffs and was sacked.
Next week will be interesting as it was stated by Andrew signings will be done maybe he is going to be the new Manager and is on Holiday in Mexico looking to sign a few waiters to play for us
