Always sad when somebody loses their job but that's football. Thanks and good luck go to Edmo but he'd took us as far as he could and the last cpl of months have been dreadful. Good to see Casson getting Cox in so soon instead of [SwearFilter] about like we always seem to do.

It's been badly and embarrassingly handled and doesn't reflect well on us as a club. This is football I guess. Edmo did need to go IMO, but I wish it had been nicer than how it finished. For my own part in volubly expressing frustration to him on Saturday I really wish I hadn't- there was no point and I'm sorry for it.

If I was him I wouldn't want to go near a Barrow forum or Barrow ever again but if you are reading this Darren, thanks very much for the way you saved us with organised and committed football when you came in, then won a league. It's a record that'll stand you in good stead elsewhere- I hope you make a success of things.

We'd better act correctly and pay him off properly.

I think we all need to take a bit of a look at ourselves in what our expectations are here. It doesn't feel like Barrow at the moment.
I`m with you on this one,someone said at work what`s happening at your club nige? for the first time i can remember i said it`s not my club,i just feel the whole episode has made me feel a bit embarrassed by it all and a bit deflated ,someone overheard (he goes to holker street as well)and said a few people feel the same way!
Paul Casson if you read this i hope next time you handle it better,i expected more let`s get the community feel back to this club :(

What do these timescales have in common: 10 years - 3 years - May 2016 - 30th November 2015 - 10th November 2015?

The first lucky winner will receive a 10 year season ticket, er I mean 3 year, er, hang on, no, maybe a ticket for the next game
It all comes 'round again.

Various timescales given for how long Edmo would be staying in the role?

Oh yes when Keens TOLD the other BOD members what they have decided is going to happen regardless of their opinion, I am please PC has been very open & honest & told us all what was happening with Edmo's month to salvage his job then acted swiftly when it was obvious to all Edmo was out of his depth tactically, breath of fresh air IMHO.

I do however think he has been massively let down by some of the players he signed (and got them a good wage in the process) and that must hurt b.

Maybe you are, but do you want to wait as long for a new manager, as we are still waiting for results to happen from your meeting with Paul Casson.
You must have really put across your viewpoint well.

Probably because myself and many others wouldn't wipe our arses with your view point on here.


Had my meeting not happened you wouldn't have your chance to put accross any of your Andrex quality questions to the board via the Bluebirds Trust. Ive also been invited back to the club for a third time this week, I can't say what it is about but its very exciting. Im not paid to make things happen off the pitch at the club , we as fans can merely make our points known and hope they are acted on . Maybe if you can do a better job you can join me this week and get something to happen.
