Holt manager

[olbarrafancumbak]

IF Grant is going to be named as manager..i think it will be a good move by the club. He will want to be making a good impression in his first steps into managerial career, he has a great wealth of experience and knowledge of all the leagues, he will have great contacts and finally.. As he was an attacking player, he will want a good attacking team with a positive attacking mentality! He is a good lad who obviously cares about barrow, he is a strong enough character to lead and will and should bring out the best of the players he has. He will have the hunger and desire to do well im sure...

People who usually know what's going on have already said its not going to be Holt, too big a risk in my opinion

[Barrowabc]

To be honest with ya, he is really not for me, as a player he has lost his pace and is fat which maybe down to his welth and poor diet, and can't see him been a good manager as a young hungry manager like gav skelton would be a far better fit then holt, and also he won't have a huge amount of contacts. I maybe way off the mark here but it would be a huge mistake if it happened

[Middleton Nick]

If Stuart says we are trying to get rid, then that's good enough for me.

[John_Bucks]

Sure we have a new manager thread somewhere...

[Scott]

A new career for Holt it seems...might be more suited to this judging by his performances last season!

No. Holt has other interests- media, now wrestling. The job needs full 100% focus.

I dont know what role he will play next season if he’s still here but he cant possbly be a manager then go off and be part time Hulk Holt.

If Grant Holt is made manager then surely we should all be backing him regardless?,ok he didn’t have a great season and looked a shadow of his former self but at least he came and at least he tried.
With a better bunch of players around him he may have produced more, he still wanted to be here and help out the club he loved regardless of how good or bad he was.
With the so called budget cuts and the reputation the club has gained as a cowboy outfit, which decent experienced manager would want the job?
Grant Holt should be backed if he’s given the job as you never know he may well surprise us all as an upcoming manager.He knows the club,knows the budget and the expectations and he knows how Cox has shagged us up the ring.
He won’t be on big money i’m betting if he gets the job and maybe both him and the players should be on performance related wages instead of us having to be held ransom by agents and prima Donna players.
Personally given the circumstances, I would rather be a top 6 CN team that develops players and make more use of local lads who are hungry to impress.If we go down next season and that happens then fair enough as we can downscale and go for the top 6 and go back to how it was for many seasons.
Looking st the backroom and commercial appointments of late it looks like a structure is being put in place and for that we need to be glad as it looks like Andrew Casson may be trying or at last taking advice from more experienced people who care about the club.
Who ever gets the job needs a new start from us fans and needs the backing of us all.Cox nearly sank the club,Andrew Casson s made some mammoth mistakes and Paul Casson must be very annoyed,frustrated and embarrassed by it all.
Maybe just maybe we all need to take stock and start a fresh,the club is still here,we are still a national league club and there are opportunities and new personnel coming in that can and will change things.
If we sink we sink , if we fly we fly but at the end of the day we are all Barrow arnt we?
Mistakes have been made that nearly and still could finish us but we still have a chance to grow again.
Give who ever comes in as manager and players a chance ffs.We have no expectations next season so let’s get behind a new team and a new manager and move on.What will be will be but I’m thinking we are at the bottom now and the only way us up.other clubs with similar budget and fan base survive so why not us.
Apologies for rant I blame the magners

Grant Holt isn't here for free or for the love of the club, he is probably on good money. If he applies for the job he should be interviewed of course.

As for no managers wanting the job, they will be queuing around the block for a job in the national league with a budget which will likely be more than the team that just won the league.

The manager has been chosen and it’s not Holt.

[Lowtower]

[SwearFilter] hell, I shit myself then when I saw the thread title.

They’ll be queuing a long time. The appointment has been made.
