You never know with this Government they seem to like imposing lockdowns and stopping people doing what they enjoy so you never know the timbuktu varient might be next lol with local or regional lockdowns as this Government love lockdowns pushingthe Indian varient scaremongering again from the torys they have to keep the fear going

Ardley now 1/10 i.e. looks like a done deal. For those who fancy backing an outsider, you can get 25/1 on Michael Jolley.

Or people who know how the manager markets at the bookies work have manipulated the betting

Totally agree Adam.I just hope whoever we end up with can inspire and motivate our team onto bigger and better things.As somebody who has supported Barrow since the early 1960,s I would just like to prove all the naysayers wrong who say that Barrow will never achieve anything because in their eyes we live at the end of a 36 mile cul-de- sac.Barrow is better than that.

I'm not a betting person but getting someone to 10 to 1 On would surely require a fairly determined piece of odds manipulation, if that indeed is what it is. Maybe Jolley at 25/1 is the bet after all

It doesn’t take much money to get those markets moving

I am hoping for someone with a bit more experience and a better track record than Ardley.

Well, looking at the list of managers ofered by William Hill, for example, I would go for Paul Tisdale, Colin Calderwood or John Sheridan. However, the first two are very much southern based and all are probably (excuse 'little Barrow' syndrome) out of our range.

PS - I should probably also add Mark Cooper.

John Sheridan.
No thanks

I don't believe anyone on that list is out of our range, we really do need to stop thinking like that, taking Barrow into a new era is an exciting proposition for any manager

I don’t want Ardley as manager. I would much rather have Ardley as manager than John Sheridan

Totally agree. If Morecambe can get Derek Adams as manager then why should Barrow settle for managers of lesser quality.

Tisdale has been a hot mess outside of Exeter. Isn't Sheridan always getting sacked by somebody? How he keeps on getting employed is beyond me.

Well, you did ask!

I was thinking realistically of how much we can afford. I would like a smart BMW but can only afford a Skoda.
