He just got Kidderminster promoted on Saturday to our league.
If you look at his last three clubs Fylde , Eastbourne and Harriers he averaged 50% win rate at all three.
He could be a good fit but he lives in Bedford.
Before people say why would he want to come to a club in the same league look at the article on BBC Football.
He describes how though he got promoted and how he was the end of alot of verbal abuse from the terraces and he was also sent alot if derogatory emails.
He might want to walk away and come to Barrow which is similar to Evatt and how he was overlooked and had a point to prove.

If I remember he played for Carlisle years ago
Well got that one right!!
Kidderminster Forum in meltdown about him. bringing staff and players with him.
Don't know why but a element according to their forum where really abusive

I like his commitment to marginal gains, positionless football and development of academy infastructure.

Welcome to Hell, Adam!

Decent interview, seems to love the midlands “where he belongs, and has 5 kids who want him at home” hopefully he doesn’t get the A590 blues like all our previous managers. Baffling really, we once drove from Cairns to Brisbane took a couple of days, but hay ho.

Hope he does well, proofs in the pudding at the end of the day.

The article says the club is presently in the EFL. Are we still technically in the EFL?

Shortly after the weekend’s final, a club presently in the EFL met a release clause within Adam’s contract to discuss their vacancy, which Adam has expressed a desire to pursue.
Until the respective League AGM's, yes technically we are still members of the EFL.

There’s a bit of a fume going on the Kidderminster forum.

Probably a similar feeling for them as when Evatt left us straight after promotion!

Evatt did his job but was always touting for better jobs and more money.
Not a nice human being I was glad to see him go just like I was annoyed at the appointment of Jolly.

Always remember his last interview telling people not to start saying things about him or else.

Some people are delusional. Kidderminster is a former carpet manufacturing town now full of smack heads 😴
