They must now know who they want or at least the best 3 so get on with it getting it announced by next Wednesday and let's get this show on the road games are running out fast we need a minimum 50 points to stay up he's maybe not worried but I surely am !
Exactly, why it needs to take so long I don't know. The need for a proper manager is urgent, it needs to happen now.

That was a completely spineless performance, only Harrison and Gomis put anything like a shift in. Its completely obvious that most of the squad don't give a shit, spineless [SwearFilter].

My understanding from the article below is that they should be deciding on a manager in the next couple of weeks:

And people would soon complain if recruitment was not done thoroughly with shortlisting and interviews.

This might sound awful but I'd like a northern manager and bring in some more northern based players because I don't believe we have enough fight in our players!

What are you basing that on?
Who complained when Cox was appointed? :roll:

The longer it takes to appoint a manager, the number of games he has to turn it around lessens. By now I would liked to have hoped that three (decent ones I hope) managers would’ve been shortlisted for interviews while the rest of the CVs would’ve been binned, you could even say interviews should be taking place already.

Paul Cox's Guiseley - last 2 games: 2 wins, 10 scored, 2 conceded.

However, the football is shite and 7th isn't good enough.

Unfortunately there are players playing at the moment that are putting the best efforts they can in but just aren't good enough. That I can accept because injuries dictate such. But there's two or three that are hidding and that isn't. Bedsentè Gomis took the game by the scruff of it's neck when he came on. Where as others in midfield shirked their responsibility for large parts, just no leaders out there.

It's not going to change overnight need a new Manager in.
We need to get a decent centre forward white not up to it,Bauress poor.
Not sure why Dixon replaced Moore who did nothing wrong but was dropped so hopefully a change will be made when we play Chester
A new Manager will have to be given funds to buy a decent centre forward, midfielder and centre half.
Maybe a centre half or midfield player Manager

Ok for a bit of facts Pedro

White is our top scoring forward with four goals
Double the amount of goals Harrison has scored in open play
Four times the amount Yousuff has scored
Harry has got one penalty goal
So have a look at his record Pedro before coming out with shite

Couldn't really fault the effort. White should have scored before gomis equalized and at that point I was hopeful. However, poor defending cost us and we are in a relegation battle like it or not.

People seem to forget that. He did great. Then left us in the mire. Now we need to bloody move on and get Barrow AFC back into shape.
Stood behind Ray Wilkie for years. Best education I ever had.

My missus, one of those kinds of people who tries to contribute to football discussion but annoyingly falls short of substance, says to me after that result "How can the players be expected to perform to their best with all the managerial unrest going on? The people behind the scenes need to take a long look at themselves!!"

Eye-watering good logic.
