The new Messiah.
You've known a few of them this season

Could of been worse we could of got Sparky.

Seriously, how many coaches or managers do you appoint in a season. Even the most die hard Barrow fan can see what a farce it is.
Whatever league you're in next season you're getting a bad reputation when managers/coaches/football people talk to each other.

They are all mostly a fickle bunch though if you are prepared pay the money they keep applying for the work.

That has got to deserve a high six and it not even Palm Sunday.

Couldn’t give a [SwearFilter] if we go through another ten managers this season at least we’re having a go. If they’ve identified that foleys not working then we’re being proactive. As for managers not wanting to come in fear of being sacked, simple solution is don’t be shite at your job. They know the score. It’s the same at 90% of clubs in England, lose a few on the bounce and questions will be asked

Proactive!!!

Is this confirmed?
We have ANOTHER manager???

Let’s hope we roll a double 6 and it saves us from the drop.

I would use the word bedlam.
Of course managers get sacked, rarely last 2 years in football nowadays.
But looking from the outside (and yes, I know it's not my concern) but it's been your problem since you came into the league. If you hand out long contracts to managers and fire them after only weeks or months then that suggests to me that its not in control at a higher level.
Where I work, if you go through 13 shift managers in 5 yrs, then ultimately the site manager gets the bullet.

Finished counting your player signings over the last two years yet? Included the latest loanee?

Not the point Hadrian.

Tallow- there’s an 85 page thread on the Carlisle forum all about whether Hughes should go. I’m sure you will have had a say in there… We just don’t mess about here. We act on 10 pages max

We're not like that, the last head coach - the one before the current head coach who only has a contract for 3 months - was, I believe, on a rolling 1 month deal. That's the way you do it.
