We need this sorting ASAP because if you look at some other club sites they are sorting out their squads. Bolton and "he who shall not be named" have already enquired about Swindons top goal scorer whos a free agent and a Blackpool midfielder. I just think we are a bit behind other clubs atm and we need to start recruiting....
Yes now the season has finished teams will be off loading players

Think one of the noticeable thing about last season we recruited early.a basic thing.
How many times in non league were we still recruiting after pre season friendly and never had a settled team for the season starting.

That probably means Dunn will get the Barrow job. As for an assistant I would say Dave Flitcroft, or Terry McPhillips.

He has no need to as David Dunn has got the job. Got it on good authority

It’s 5 years ago and clearly a bad time at Oldham. If it is Dunn and he gets a crack at it, it will be against a very positive backdrop and these previous experiences would have all been part of the learning.

Dunn seems highly regarded at Blackpool so I’m looking forward to it

Worrying in a sense that unlike Evatt he does not sound hungry to succed,plus I think he has other business interests
Evatt was deemed not good enough for the Chesterfield job he was driven by the fact he wanted to show them what they had missed.
He has jumped ship and is in progress of signing a top striker for Bolton onward and upwards.
Dunn is deciding if to take the job ,either way we will back whoever is the Manager
