This having an interim manager isn't really working out. You can say we were unlucky etc but one win since Cox left isn't really good enough.

2 wins from the next two games should be expected. However I do hope the club sort out a new permanent manager soon.

I think its best to just enjoy the football and not think too deeply about what may or may not come to pass.
Well said.

IMO Grant Holt is not the answer.

We need a proven man who has managed at a decent level.

Holt hasn't even been a coach and to throw him in at the deep end at Barrow would be completely the wrong decision for him and the club.

He's unlikely to get the job for reasons you state. Also he lives in east anglia. Too far away.
Everyone has start somewhere. He will no doubt enter coaching and management somewhere. Canaries will take him.

Not disagreeing with the first part, but how do you know that's why he resigned?

You have absolutely NO idea why Paul Cox left, you have absolutely NO idea why the CEO left. You do however absolutely know why the players left - Cox released a large amount of them (RH, DL, SB, PT, ML etc etc) something you always seem to forget to mention. The other players left because of a release clause being triggered (RB) because we were top heavy with strikers (DC) and because two league clubs came in for two of them (JW & NWA)
Pedro wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 12:00 am If they beleived in the VISION why would they have gone to clubs in financial trouble Carlisle and Blackpool?
Lets see, fulfilling ambitions of playing in the FL, money, agent involvement, playing in front of bigger crowds. End of the day 95% of players have little loyalty to clubs so if Carlisle or Blackpool folded (you conveniently forgot to mention Rochdale, because they don't fit your argument...perhaps) them players would move on to the next club willing to pay a wage. To state the blindingly obvious, them clubs are bigger than Barrow, so why would they not go.
You have no idea whats going on.
Is it normal to see such a exodus of players,Management staff at a club going somewhere?
Barrow are going backwords fast.

Well it will be interesting to see who we appoint as new manager if its its Moore or Bignot then we are not progressing IMO, however should we choose a brand new manager it will give the place a lift surely

I think he does.
He is a director and attends board meetings.

If you are right Pedro Pespective, so what, from your viewpoint?
Does your remarkably subjective viewpoint actually have a point? For example if (which isn't accepted by me), do you have a realistic plan to put the club on the right track in all areas? I've asked this of you before but been met with silence?
Or do you just like moaning? About pretty much everything.

Moore shouldn't be telling the board when they are going to discuss if he will stay, it's sounding more and more like he will get the job. Hopefully we'll see the football everyone get so carried away by after the Boreham Wood game every week

I really hope it isn't Moore. Bignot is being interviewed for the Chester job in the next 48 hours according to the Chester chronicle. Moore with Bignot given we have won one game since Cox left and after that performance on Saturday would be bad enough, Moore on his own would be worse in my opinion

Whoever it's going to be, it needs doing asap, the uncertainty is causing more and more problems.

Doubt there'll be any money spent on someone well known for this league, infact the money saved with Cox walking away will be a valued saving. Moore until things hit rock bottom and then a caretaker after that could still see us avoid relegation and then regroup next season. Hope I'm proved wrong though
