Owes him more than a pint. Managing to get a 5 figure payout on his barrow contract and then getting him a 2 year deal on good money. People must wet themselves on the ongoings within barrow afc

So your saying that we paid Rose a 5 figure sum(£10,000) who played for the Club on Monday despite another Club signing him on Tuesday, why does the selling Club have to pay for the transfer to go ahead if true it's madness.

Most of the posts on here need to be taken with a pinch of salt - except this one of course

He's signed 10? Most of whom are involved weekly and it isn't going to plan......so blame last seasons players.
See how it pans out up to Christmas but currently I'm not convinced by his tactics or motivational skills.

I agree.

It didn’t happen we just let him go. Do you really think the club are going to blow a five figure sum that would eat into this seasons players budget? He is off the books it’s saves a wage he got a new two year deal out of it we can use the money we save on his salary to bring someone in.

So you think if an employee is on let’s say £2,700 a week and can sit on it till his contract runs out. A team approach saying they want him but are willing to pay him £2,000 a week, he wouldn’t ask for a payout on their original contract to move on. It will of saved us money in the long run but basically paying part of his contract upfront to get him out the building is not ideal!

In other words everything you're saying is a guess and has no basis in fact!

Murray pretty much confirms this to be the case in his interview.

“No fee and freed a little bit of a wage up” Adam Murray.

The reason he says a little bit is due to his 5 figure pay out, a lot more than 10k by the way

Depends what you call a little bit but I’m sure Murray said it frees up enough to bring maybe two players in

He does, he says 2 maybe 3 players. Im happy hes calling last years players out. I hope they all go, im just suprised Harper and Jackson wernt some of the 1st to be told to go. If they let comments on a fans forum affect them then they shouldnt be professional footballers. I played a sport professionally where the fans forum was very active, i read it all the time, not at any time did i think im downing tools or not trying coz someones slagged me off, in fact it was more the opposite

I thought Harper might've stepped up this season, he showed a bit more in pre-season against Mansfield went flying into a tackle and I thought maybe he'd be a new man, unfortunately he's reverted to old. If you look at his career he's dropped from England youth and championship level to non league, a bit like Mahoney he has ability but just hasn't shown it anywhere near enough.

I dare say if Murray could've got rid of the lot from last season then he probably would have.
Unfortunately their contracts and the fact no one else wants them means we're stuck with them for another season. Same goes for Jackson who when he first came was a revelation not sure what's happened, Smith, Earing, Kouyate, Barkhuizen...Wood and Whing between them have killed us there. Murray's right in that the last 18 months have been a car crash but I'd say it's set us back more than two years, hard to see us getting back up any time soon.

If he actually believes "we're very, very close to being a really good team" he's living in a dream world!

Can't really argue with him in that Danny Rose perhaps wasn't quite right, his body language wasn't great even in pre-season and he wasn't going to feature much.
As thought seems like his wages were high and enough to cover 2/3 players possibly now he's gone.
Talk of Dan Mooney still coming in but again another player who has had injury problems...speaking of which looks like Crankshaw is out for a while after that ridiculous tackle at Kidderminster.

Too much talk of stats and data though for me from Murray, similar story to his interviews at Fylde. And I think we're far from being a very good team maybe a win or two will give them some confidence but lacking too many areas still from what I've seen, in fact probably all areas right back, centre, midfield and now we look very light up top.
