I think Bailey realised how strapped the club was for cash.
When he was sacked I believe he did not push for his full compensation but came to a agreement with Brian Keen another unsung hero.
I think he captured a perfect image of what happened Pedro.
Yes, but something I never knew.
Good he still feels a affinity with the club.

Just to emphasise how good a win it was on Friday night, in the whole of 2023 at home, Crewe had previously only lost three times.
Leaders Stockport this season and against promoted Leyton Orient and Grimsby way back in early February.
Their full record before Friday at home in 2023 was :- won 14, drawn 6, lost 3.

David Bailey wouldn’t have achieved anything as Barrow manager were it not for his magical partner Darren Brown.

They were a ray of sunshine following the debacle of Frankie Vaughan. After which we were indebted to Arthur Lowe for not panicking.

Expect goals from June Whitfield and James Garner tomorrow. In Kim Wild we believe!

I think we will get automatic promotion
The Stockport and Wrexham games are a crucial part of the puzzle.

How good would it be to get promoted as Champions whilst other teams have thrown money at the league
Last time we were promoted from the 4 th Division was 1966-67 Stockport were champions. Barrow Southport and Tranmere were also promoted.
