I honestly think Casson wanted us relegated easy way to cut costs.
If he has not got the finances why not look for another investor to share the costs.
If you listen to the manager's post-match interview that clearly isn't the case. Pennock was given the job of keeping us up. He achieved it. Now he's got the opportunity to build from there.
Pedro hasn’t a clue; never has had. Casson doesn’t want us down. I think the ownership of a National League team has been a wake up call. I don’t think he’ll pull out for now.
In my opinion AP has done a reasonable job with poor raw material inherited from Cox/Moore.
It will be interesting to see if he can get decent players to commit to Barrow, and then to see if he can guild a team.

Yes and I listened to Amber Rudd saying she had no knowledge of targets.
Also all the members of the cabinet backing her
Not a Tory but feel she had been hard done by.
Where is she now?
Casson is in trouble we never got relegated!!!
A new season ,new team.
Over to you Paul

I will ask you a question as you think I do not have a clue.
How much is the the US tax system subsidizing Barrow AFC?

Would you be happy for someone to use a tax offset to finance a football club whilst depriving something like the NHS of money?

If he wanted us down he could have given the job to me I'd have done it for far less than he is paying Ady, Jamie Day and Grant Holt

Personally speaking if any tax offset scheme is legal I am quite happy to use it .The fact that his business plans take advantage of that is not an indication that he is in trouble and wants us down even though no doubt he has under estimated how much this may initially be costing him.You have produced no evidence to show he is in dire financial straights .New season ahead with manager that is I think an improvement on what has gone before.Given time and funds to recruit better I think we will avoid some mistakes of last season.Paul Casson did not make his money being a quitter.Try and say something nice next season instead of always being critical.

If the plan was to get us deliberately relegated we would have stuck with Lee Turnbull II aka Micky Moore.
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.

I wish he would ramble off into the distance, permanently

I blocked Pedro's childish trolling ages ago. I wish people would not respond to it, as the responses themselves fill the threads with irrelevant stuff and they provide him with the satisfaction that he craves. Ignore him and perhaps he will get bored and go back to playschool.

Let’s wait and see the released/retained list and then Pennocks first few signings; that will tell us how much backing he has from those above him

As a matter of interest, who were our early signings last year?

The nice thing about Pedros posts is you also get a lesson in history, current affairs or 1950s TV trivia.
