Did we ever discover if they would have to take a reduction in pay if relegated?

Well I hope so because Paul Hornby explained that at the last meet the board meeting!

Well hopefully some of the ones we want to offload might find a better financial deal elsewhere and the clubs come to an arrangement, so that we can get them off our books and sign decent players chosen by the new manager.

37 games without defeat at Kidderminster out of 46 is pretty good. Obviously money speaks but he must have liked the "vision" for the club.
Now lets see who comes in and who goes (player wise)

[bluessupporter]

Can we not just swap our team for theirs?

[standishbluebird]

Looks like a good move by the board this. Getting a manager to leave a club he's just taken up - and move to one which has had the season we've just had - is pretty impressive. Now we need to back him, and that includes riding out some uncomfortable spells which, inevitably, there will be. They've got it done early too so he can crack on. Time to look forward, not back. Welcome to Barrow Adam! COYB!!

Getting a tune out of that shower of is gunna be his biggest problem, good luck to him though

Alot of these need to go.
Contract or no contract loan them out one by one to a league where they will get the shit kicked out of them.
Soon move on

Iain Wood was on a 25% reduction for relegation.

First job for him is to watch the last X amount of Barrow games from season just gone and identify who might be in his plans...Then chat to each individual one by one

There are a fair few we'll be keeping and a fair few that will do well for us in the National League.

[Mark Johnson]

.. the thought of having to watch some of those games back though. Maybe he'll be advised not to

2 things I love about this appointment

He’s the manger not head coach


It’s really upsetting the Carlisle fans

Not much evidence of that on their forum. Anyway, what do we care what Carlisle fans think!

[tictactoe]

Well, bit of experience, manager not coach, quick appointment, all good so fingers crossed he can work miracles with the shower of shite he’s inherited. Must be some package they’ve offered to lure him from a side who have just won promotion? Hopeful he can be a good appointment

[standishbluebird]

Sounds like there’s been some proper money thrown at this appointment, and that seems to be borne out by what the Kiddie chairman had to say on Murray’s departure. Still, shows a bit of ambition on our part and, indeed, on his.

My first chat to him is available on here

It will be going on the Barrow AFC feed on BBC Sounds at some point for those who aren’t fussed about it in visual form

[blumooncrab]

Great interview. Full of energy, purpose and commitment. Good start .

The overhaul is well and truly underway now so time for all to look forward rather than back.

Critical that he's afforded time, and some restraint shown by the fanbase if things are a bit patchy to begin with. It only creates unnecessary pressure.

ditto.
