Statement by Paul Casson.

[Pedro]

You are entitled to your opinion but need to back it up.


Just because I do not agree with what's going on does not make me wrong.
If you think this fella is doing a good job explain the departures both on field and off.
How can your wage bill increase by 30% that was a estimate so not a hard fact.
Can you see Beeley on a low wage he was offered more money to stay at Morecambe but still came,Turnbull ,Hannah must have been on good money.
What other team has had such a upheaval on and off the field in the space of a few months
The distancing himself from the club.
Explain the lack of progress in ground improvements.
I hope I am wrong but I think we are see the start of a exit strategy
Now on RC I heard Casson Jnr say let's give it to Christmas.

And the winner of this years whinger and moaner of the year on the Barrow AFC forum is.....

Please put your hands together for Pedro Pete.

Sorry a former member of this forum not even you whinge as much as him!

Sorry I am so passionate .
I will be following BAFC long after Casson has gone no matter what league we are in.
If I do not moan I am ill

''As you all know, Barrow AFC and Paul Cox have parted company. We have had our philosophical differences for some time and while we struggled mightily to make it work, in the end we mutually agreed that it was probably the right time to separate.

While the timing was a shock it was something we were preparing for.

Paul has a great belief in his playing methodology and while we respect the success that brought us, football is a constantly evolving game, and therin lies the difference.

Our squad has been designed thus far to provide a greater flexibility in playing styles. It will constantly evolve. We need to create for our exciting young talent to be able to develop. There is no transfer deadline to restrict our ability to bring in players at any time, and Paul Ogden is continuing his search for talent.
I appreciate that change is difficult especially when we have enjoyed unprecedented success, however seventh is not good enough and so we must change.

Only time will tell if we are correct or not. I would respectfully ask that everyone holds their judgment until Christmas. If we've got it wrong I will be the first to hold my hands up and we will work diligently to address whatever the issues are.

Sincerely, Paul''


Playing Methodology? Mmmm...does that mean we are to see a re-juvenated team playing attractive football rather than Paul Cox's 'hoof-ball' style? Although it was successful!
Food for thought...

Hold out judgement until Christmas? Work diligently to address whatever the issues are?
Does that mean that THIS TIME he'll be spending some money to bring in the players we may need?
I won't hold my breath...

Not going to moan. The manager has gone and we'll just have to see how things pan out.At the end of the day I will still be watching whichever league we are in.

I,ll be watching and helping out putting boards up around the ground and other jobs if needed... it's my towns club

[Steeley]

Echo's of the 'requirements' given to edmo. Seems casson wants total football and winning the league.

Casson wants a yes man so he can pick the team

[davewilko]

7th not good enough?

Our highest placing in years. Not good enough.

I don't buy that at all as a reason.

[blue future]

I think that Mr Casson is just trying to put a positive spin on it.........as we all should. Thank you Mr Cox for your part of the journey now lets look forward to the next part.
What i would say is that I know Mr Cox has won this league....but more recently a P.E. teacher in his first year full time as a manager won the league.
We will not know what has gone on behind closed doors but whose to say that Mr Casson is the villan. Might it just be that someone is trying to reSurrect their career by trying to push his sugar daddy for more money instead of playing with the budget he was given. Again we will never know but everything isnt always black and white....there is another side to every story.
He has gone get over it.....embrace the next part of the journey as you never know what is going to happen. Maybe the next main man will have the midas touch. That is why we love the game for the ups and downs
So I say enjoy the ride and get behind everyone.

[Coeus]

Carson doesn't like the long ball game. Fair enough.
