Absolute laughing stock, you couldn’t make it up. Are we going for a Guinness record for the number of managers in a season. Be bloody Mr Tumble next, might do a better job.

Seriously though it’s embarrassing. Players need to look at themselves before they get rid of managers, if that’s the case.

I’m a fan of canavans, previously been very good imo, this season not there at all, the sendings off, has he got other things on his mind out of football? Who knows, maybe wrong but to be so good imo then so bad.

Wood, recruited badly, board let him and give him a place on the board, wrong decision but it’s done. As much as I think he has a part to play in this, the players cross the line and none of the managers we’ve had have been able to get much out of them, surely one should have, so for me blame lies totally at the players feet.

BOD aren’t up to it neither, but nobody else is wiling to come in so can’t do much about that.

If we go down, which is looking increasingly likely, I fear we don’t come back from it as finances aren’t there, no tv money etc and the BOD hasn’t got bottomless pockets.

Not good however you look at it.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, deal with it

Yes - but who brought most of them in? He's the one who should walk, but he's now fireproof as a member of the Board.

Absolutely no words. Awful doesn’t sum it up. If we stayed up (we won’t) it would be nothing short of a miracle.

They were second best all game and didn't see any of them trying to encourage their team mates or lead on the pitch. Losing is one thing, but it’s the manner of the defeats that is hard to take.
So the decision to start a midfielder as a lone striker while having 2 strikers on the bench was a good decision by the manager?

Full marks to this guy for breaking the story. He’s certainly in the know.

So the board sign a load of shit, then blame a succession of managers for poor results.Epitomises how much they dont understand reality, unless, as someone on here has alluded to, there is a bigger picture.
Run the club into the ground and sell the land.

Absolutely; but it also screams of the board trying to get fans back on side appointing someone popular
As an aside still think they could do worse than bring Craig Rutherford in to help with the coaching

The last 3 Barrow Managers have ONE win between them. That must be some sort of record.

Also, each Manager has less time in the job than the one before. You can't make this stuff up.

The next one will likely last 2 weeks.
