Whing replacement?

Re: Whing replacement?
If it is McDonald then its the cheap option.
Could come to haunt the club if a new manager has to be put in place Feb onwards with no transfer window

Re: Whing replacement?
I see Jon Brady is on the books of Aporto Sports, as are Andy Whing and Stephen Clemence.
Could it be third time lucky?

Re: Whing replacement?
McDonald comes across as a good guy, no doubt an experienced coach, but I think we need a new approach and go with a proven track record. We cannot keep going through this cycle. Brady sounds like a breath of fresh air, although he might not be the tough management style, he is supposed to be great with getting the best out of players. Out of the names doing the rounds, All-in on Brady for me
Still searching for the Young Soul Rebels

Re: Whing replacement?
Jon Brady seems to have a plan .
Two clubs in 5 years and I don't think sacked at either.
Noticed he had been in Spain in. august at a course run by the Villa Real Manager.
Obviously keeping upto date.
He should be our number one target
Will come down to money but also if he feels Barrow would be a good fit in relation to having to build on a limited budget.
The challenge may be to much as he has a good record and Barrow would probably be the hardest one to date failure would tarnish that record.

Re: Whing replacement?
However it is need a 2/3 year plan as Evett/Wilde had never heard any of that with Clemence/Whing. Seem to be just hanging on at the moment season to season even with our budget we are better than that. We used to be a destination for young talent to go on loan to seem to have lost that we need to get back to getting good young talent on loan and being trusted to develop them,

Re: Whing replacement?
So long as whoever it is gets to rule the roost so to speak, we might stand a chance!
A strong character who likes others have said can put a plan together and take us forward.
Someone with a mentality like evatt would be great, the players under him worked bloody hard and I'm some respects, it was easy for them to understand what to do.
But whoever it is, we have to try and back them.

Re: Whing replacement?
He’s got to be his own man and I think Brady would be that, preferably as Manager not Head Coach.

Re: Whing replacement?
There is a report in the sports section to say that Brady is favourite in the betting to take over at Barrow - but additional info so just what we already know.

Re: Whing replacement?
The suspense is killing me..
Re: Whing replacement?
Brady maybe favourite but Oxford in Championship sacked there Manager and Birmingham are rumoured to be going to sack there's.
Both higher leagues and nearer home.
I would say the delay is in the fact we are struggling to close a deal with anyone.
Hopefully not ,but we may end up with McDonald by default.
Re: Whing replacement?
Think we are in for a uneventful and quiet Christmas, probably same in the new year, we must be skint.
