Interesting thought there.

Obviously l can't say too much here due to the NBA but maybe Pete can come back as a better version of himself and we can all fist pump our way to success. 👍
We will follow the soccer, over land and sea...

We tried this bringing Don McEvoy back for a second time in 1970.to 1971
Previously in his first spell he was the only Manager to get us promoted in the football league. to the third division.

Not sure Wild is the Manager he was. When at Barrow.
Clean sweep is required and alot if research..

Yeh I think you are right..

We must start to look forward and maybe just embrace the past wether that's good or bad..

We need someone who is not just hungry for success but absolutely [SwearFilter] starving!!!!

Must be someone out there that wants not only a challenge but a chance to make a name for themselves... ???

And forget the "let's not forget who we are" bullshit and the "little ol' barrow" get this shat out if our minds!!
We can either be as big or as small as we want to be.. we have done it once, let's do it again and get our arses back into the league..

As l understand it Hurst is at Boston - a mid-table NL club. Would he risk going to an unknown quantity hybrid hire-em-fire-em outfit like Barrow? Does he like playing Russian roulette?

These owners turned him down in favour of Jolley when he applied and was interviewed for the job so wether he would be happy to come for the same owners now in the NL the same level as he is with Boston who have a new ground and £4m currently being invested in a new south stand and community sports hub is doubtful imo

He's obviously been lured with knowledge of Shearer's WAR CHEST for the summer.
Popular side since '03.

Probably someone that the Board wanted but Wood blocked. Significant that Wood was sacked very quickly.
