Great move if he can unearth some good players. Not sure he was responsible for signing the players we ended up with im sure Paul Cox would have had the final word.

Thought he would have turned up working alongside cox at Guiseley, guessing it wasn't the club he had a problem with, that wont suit some.

See someone on twitter asking if he's going to sign 11 brads always looking on the bright side.. Maybe 11 Jordan Williams..

He had mixed success last time around. Worked well with Cox in first season, as the chief scout, but then we don’t really know what happened when he was put into the Head of Football Ops role but it didn’t work.

So,as before, who will decide who we go in for when it comes to Barrow transfer targets. Will it be Ogden or the new Manager?. “Paul will be involved in both player recruitment and in our search for the new manager. seems to go to beyond a role of chief scout.

Ogden idear to get white in to replace williams the next big thing.how many goals did he get???? [SwearFilter]

Like it or not ogden has a vast amount of football knowledge the cassons dont its a no brainer really at least its starting to look a bit more optimistic

Maybe a good move.
For him to be put on this role makes me wonder if the new Manager has already been identified and Paul Ogden knows him
As everyone says people are not out of contract till June,maybe this a way of bringing someone in without paying compensation to a club.
I wonder if Paul Ogden has players ready to sign.
Let's hope .
Lots to do before the kick off.

He didn’t sign them, the man who always wants a £3m budget did.
Wonder if Paul Ogden left because he wasn’t being taken notice of...

Official statement from the club declared Ogden responsible for the squad with no weaknesses.

If as you seem to suggest all the signings were Cox's doing what the hell was Ogden doing? Picking up an easy pay cheque each week doing [SwearFilter] all?

Let's hope he has a Jordan Williams season and not a Bradley bauress one.

Official statement from the club doesn’t mean Paul Ogden said that does it?

Regarding “what the hell was Ogden doing” I might be well wide of the mark here but as his role was scouting (before the failed new role he took....crazy goings on at that particular time!) I would suggest he was, well scouting. The final say must’ve been the then managers. You’re not seriously suggesting Ogden as a scout could sign a player without the managers agreement are you? Then again, perhaps you are because it suits you and protects Cox.

Ogden didn't approve of using certain agents and the phantom scouting trips

A man of principals. I like that.

Bit underwhelming, yes he did well with bennett and williams, however last seasons findings by him were pretty poor (bauress especially) and from what i can see, his scouting pretty much is Northwich or witton.

His previous years prior to us has been spent in the lower leagues with likes of leek and witton.

Appears to me, he has been appointed with a view to scouring players from lower leagues which id rather do if we are skint rather than signing aging rejects from further up the leagues.

Can see holt getting the job now btw with ogden assisting

You know him well then? Or are you just blindly going off what we've been told in various statements?

I have no idea whether its a good or bad thing, I'd lean towards the latter given previous history but I hope it turns out to be positive. Either way, I don't see how any of us can truly comment on his ability or knowledge when we know virtually nothing about him other than that he once managed Witton Albion.

Don’t think there’s much doubt about that.

Surely that's been the plan since Holt arrived.

Holt will not be the new manager we are trying to get rid of him.

Hope we do

To be fair on clips of Bauress before he signed he looked decent; just turned out to be far too weak and slow for this league. Hardly a disaster as we didn’t pay for him

Do you think the clip's were doctored?
It scary to think Holt may get the job but why else would be be hanging around.
Really did not bring anything to the team, maybe he is going to be the half time entertainment Roly poly wrestling
