Barrow’s next manager

[Matty]

Doesn’t Clemence have a family and mortgage? What makes you say he’s not keen to be a success?

Playing at the top level (250 appearances in the prem and football league) there isn’t the same financial pressure to succeed. Only my opinion, like I say, PW had a huge level of confidence and ambition. Just feels like this new appointment is more in the Dunn category.

Clemence has won more games at Gillingham than Dunn has in his entire managerial career.

Maybe we are going to get Clemence as head coach with Baines as his assistant

Gillingham owners net worth 60-80 million, Clemence had a 35 % win rate in his time there. Barrow owners have no where near that and wild had a 37% win rate. Feels like a step back, but it is what it is.

That might be the worth of the Gillingham owners but even there own fans were frustrated by the owners failure to back the manager in the January window

Our win rate under Wild in April was 0%. You can't use stats like that they can always be manipulated. I believe Clemence took over a Gills team going backwards in mid season so he apparently did quite well. Anyway there's nothing confirmed yet.

If we appointed Klopp or Guardiola there would be dissenters on here. Its the nature of football fans at this level. On the subject of candidates 'qualifications' I would go back to my Holker St roots in the 60's. McEvoy,Appleton,Halom,Wilkie,Lowe,Bayliss,Sheridan,Edmo,Evatt and Wild the most comparatively succesful 'managers' in my time with barely a coaching certificate between them and the bare minimum of previous experience in the hot seat yet they didn't do too badly.Whoever gets the job its a gamble buts lets get behind them. I trust in Wood and Co to get it right. Due diligence I'm sure will have been done after the Dunn era fiasco.

Confirmed stephen clemence, seems to be a good appointment and hopefully the board back him, could be gold or bust.

[Rushy]

Best of luck to him now let's give him all the backing we can .

[Ace]

32 goals scored in 30 games at Gillingham.

Hell of a record for a midfielder

Legs have gone though

[saltcellar]

32 goals scored in 30 games at Gillingham.

Only scored 14 in 16 games before he arrived at Gillingham.

[Arvo]

Gonna need a new song. "We got Clemence, Clemence, Clemence" clearly doesn't work.

[Bigfathoss]

I'm feeling a bit underwhelmed with this tbh...but here's hoping the board know what they are doing.
