He was my choice as manager, purely for the boost it gives us - to have him back AND with an experienced manager in place, it could hardly have gone better!
No qualms about us screwing over Kings Lynn - he was non-contract and we've put in the seven day approach. They can rightly be annoyed with Holt, as he's clearly given them assurances he'd be there for the season, but seems Barrow have gone about things the right way.
So, whose place is he taking in the squad?
If the reports are right that he's coming in as player/coach, he won't take anyones place in the squad. He'll be classed as part of the management team i'd imagine.
If he's playing at all, that means someone isn't...
Probably only to be used as a sub, but that means White is less likely to get a run out (unless Harrison is off).

Can’t see holt starting or playing many games but I can see him here as a stepping stone to his managerial career or even future Barrow or Carlisle manager.

A signing (player or coach) like this obviously means PC is tightening the purse strings. Well done Paul and Andrew. Over to you Pedro

I have never been as excited about a player or anything else joining Barrow. Well done to Paul, Andrew and whoever else was involved. This is awesome.
Why. Just another ex player.

Just another ex player that's played in the highest English league possible and was once the highest English goalscorer in the premier league who comes with a wealth of experience. Stop being so miserable, massive coup for us
