Re: Whing replacement?
Would seem abit silly to hire him considering that in his time we still haven’t won a game yes granted we have played well but still no balls in that net
Let there be BARROVIAN BEDLAM

Sounds like McDonald is the chosen man

Re: Whing replacement?
I'd obviously back him for the reasons stated in my post a couple of pages back, but if I were to put myself in the shoes of a floating fan I don't think it would be an inspiring choice. Given the crowds over the last couple of games you'd think they would want to make an appointment that would inject a bit of positivity into people.

Jon Brady would be the best Xmas present we could have, if he’s available and would come to Barrow he’s our man. Fingers crossed in fact everything crossed.

His record would indicate it would be a lot worse than meh. More akin to terrible!Big_Bluebird wrote: ↑Tue Dec 23, 2025 12:56 pm McDonald would be a meh appointment imo. Go get Brady give him the “managers” role and let him build something

Re: Whing replacement?
An appointment like Brady would give the whole club and support base a huge lift.
It’s easy putting names like Brady’s into the imaginary hat when it’s not our money - but some of the other names being thrown around don’t really get the juices flowing.
Whatever is decided we need to get this one right.

We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.
Re: Whing replacement?
McDonald has had his audition v Cheltenham. That was his chance to have an instant impact in a must not lose game. Also he’s been in the building for a few weeks previous with Whing and we still haven’t won a game) These players need a big voice (rocket) from the touchline. It was the Cheltenham boss continually directing and giving instruction.

Yes, just like the successful Ray Wilkie and Ian Evatt used to do.

Re: Whing replacement?
McDonald and Paul Gallagher as assistant is the rumours
Re: Whing replacement?
If it is McDonald good luck to him. These players need strong direction and possibly a bit of a “rollicking” in game from the sides.
