Not so sure. He’s served the club well but think we need to go down a whole new route.

Whoever it is must absolutely not lower expectations in the way some have previously. I dread another “well we’re Barrow, we’ll give it a go, see how we get on, …but don’t expect too much”

Jason Taylor assisted by Sam Foley until the end of the season

Why down a different route?
Not saying you are wrong but Clemence was a Premier league Number 2, Wild a non league play off manager and Evatt an unproven ex manager.
Looking at that what isn’t to say Tayls is the right fit???
Bit of Spit, Sawdust and Grit is what we need and that is how he played. Give him one game and see the response….will be interesting to see what happens

Maybe so, I'm not against it, I'm basing it on the fact he been here for a long time and has been part of the coaching staff through the last few Head coaches. If he puts himself forward without hesitation thats a good sign. Not sure if being a coach and then Head Coach over the same players works well because the dynamic changes. I listened to Dunn interview once and he said when he was suddenly thrust into the role of temp Head coach after a sacking (might have been Oldham) it took a bit of adjusting, but he was still a player at that time. Not saying that would be the case if Taylor was asked to step up, everyone manages situations differently and you’re right, maybe he's the solution right under the nose.

Let's not kid ourselves...we were VERY lucky to get out of the National League and thankfully we have survived in League 2. The worst decision that has been made in recent years was to allow Pete
Wild to leave. I would love the owners to go on bended knee to get him back again.
