I was sad too when Pete Wild and Adam Temple left the club. They gave us a couple of excellent seasons. We overachieved under them, in my opinion.

Yes, it was up and down, at times, but certainly more ups, that’s for sure, and some incredible, memorable, moments.

I don’t think I’ve quite enjoyed watching Barrow, or had as much belief in Barrow, since they left.

I’m going to say this, yes, it was a poor and disappointing end to the season, when Pete and Adam left the club. 2 points out of our last 7 matches, dropping out of the playoffs at the death.

However, I don’t think their ‘parting’ from us was entirely ‘on the pitch’ related. I really don’t.

We finished the 2022/23 season 9th on 62 points, with a goal difference of -6.

We finished the 2023/24 season 8th on 69 points, with a goal difference of +6.

That’s an improvement. Plus you have to factor in that second season featured Stockport, Wrexham and Mansfield. Big clubs, with huge budgets.

So do I believe Pete and Adam left, all down to ‘on the field’ performance? No, absolutely not, no way.

I am not a person ‘in the know’, so I can only assume that something happened, at some point, right before, during, or soon after those fateful, final, seven matches, which will never be public knowledge, but ultimately led to us parting ways with Pete and Adam.

What I will say is I wish Pete Wild, and Adam Temple, the very best for the future. I appreciate all you did for us. Thank you.

Good post and I too think there's more to it than on the field matters, but we will presumably never know because of the NDA. However you have to wonder why an NDA was necessary.

The thing that worries me is how Harrogate and from watching Newport tonight, is how these other teams look capable! Can you honestly see us having as much play and putting pressure on 10 men as these are? I’d say no chance because we simply are good enough technically to keep hold of the ball!
