I don’t know what the hell went on between Casson and cox, if someone wants to enlighten me and others feel free by pm, but at the end of the day he’s gone and we are in a dire situation. Shit players, most of them, and the management team aren’t setting the world alight either. I hated cox’s style of football but you can’t deny we were in a good position league wise
I dont think paul cox having an interview with notts county the night before we played rochdale helped the relationship.

Perhaps a trip to Hartlepool didn’t help either

I don't know what most of you are talking about, but I look at the table and it scares the shit out of me. From an 'outsider' point of view it seems like, a) we didn't strengthen last January when we needed the play-off/promotion push, and b) we haven't strengthened this year when we need to battle like hell against the drop.
So, I am very worried right now.

Paul Cox seems to have left a mess and he's doing the same for Guiseley, maybe he had a 1 season wonder at Mansfield and teams suss him out.

I’d definitely blame Cox for this mess of a season, it’s what he left behind whilst chasing other jobs and not giving a toss about BAFC.....people know that now a former member of this forum, time to give up on painting him the poor old picked on manager by the Casson’s. He spouted his spiel and unfortunately the club trusted him.
If (if) we survive this season and we’re in the same position next term then it’s obviously not Cox’s fault - this for the most part is though.

Totally agree. Although despite this I'm not convinced about Pennock either. Of course I hope I'm proved wrong. This season is going to be slug fest to the finish.

Cox left in august, Ogden who was lauded with the great assembly of the squad left in October.
There's been long enough for other folk who turned up to have a bit of responsibility. Ridiculous to suggest the entirety of the season is Cox's doing. Hypothetically if we were doing alright no one would be suggesting it was down to cox.

Paul Cox - born in 1972. Clearly to blame for Barrows relegation from the football league.

Its all ifs and buts , but , If Cox hadn't been such a naughty boy or signed utter donkeys on wages that far surpass their ability then we wouldn't be in this mess.
Likewise if Casson hadn't let Cox do all the above whilst wittering on about Cowboy boots on football focus, launching shirts off London buildings and promising football league in a week and instead concentrated on the lesser more achievable matters we wouldn't be in this mess either.
