That is still a mystery to me, although he did kick-up about the condition of our pitch, near the end, and took to the ride-on mower to cut the grass himself. ???

Think he lost the dressing room. Some of his man-management wasn't the best and ultimately it cost him as it felt like the players weren't playing for him anymore. This meant in many ways sacking him was a gamble worth taking, as we were unlikely to pick up our form for the play-offs without some sort of shake up.

First impressions yesterday were of a manager who seems to have a hands on style with the players, some needed an arm round the shoulder and others a kick up the arse! Nice to see him talking to the players who were subbed in a very positive manner.

Early days but the signs are good.

I think the jokes gone over your head. Howarth has just rejoined our former manager at Guiseley.
Steve Herbert supports the nob theory - Saturday 4th February 2012.

If this bus crashed and everybody on it died, Barrow football would end - Daz Boyle, Boston away, August 9th 2014.

Have Guiseley signed Andy Haworth as a bench warmer? That's all Cox had him for at Barrow!

Maybe Guisley are showing they have money for players ala a loads of money chairman and Cox is having having a dig!

I'll try and slow it down for you.
The new manager has several transfer targets in mind.
It is fantastic news.
It is widely held that we need wingers/attacking wide players.
Howarth is a winger/attacking wide player.
He is a [SwearFilter] terrible winger/attacking wide player.
If he was a target then it would not be fantastic news.

In other news, my dog has no nose.
