Comes into the non manager bracket. Never done a thing with any club. No thanks.

Took Oldham from a 0.7 PPG to 1.3 PPG
Stevenage 0.8 to 1.5 PPG. It’s what we need to stay up at the end of the day.

No chance of Cook coming to Barrow. He was previously at Wigan and before that at Portsmouth. He was last lined with the Sunderland job and his next job will be at worst in EFL 1 but probably the Championship.

Sacked from both after very short periods and also sacked from Southport. Not the man we need.

This conversation highlights the job the board have on their hands. I don’t envy them.

Still a no Lewis. Would be a really poor appointment

Depends. It’s usual for candidates to apply and be interviewed, rather than headhunted.

Apparently there was nobody else looked at when we got Dunn.

Hopefully lessons have been learned.

David Flitcroft is the favourite, he was a former team mate of Dunns .
Not sure if he is still in business with Dunn but last year they were in eco property development together.
Ironical really but if he does the job.

To be honest we must not rush into making quick decisions now. I'm glad we've appointed Rob Kelly as temporary/caretaker manager as he has a wealth of experience doing such a role. You only have to look at his Wikipedia entry to see that. If he does well over the short term then that's good it might be, going forward, he takes us to the end of the season and hopefully safety then we can re stock. If things don't go well he has given us breathing space to look at what is available & how we approach the rest of the season. What we don't want is a knee jerk reaction if we don't do well in the next couple of games and make poor decisions. I hope the forum also has a bit a patience (but I'm not holding my breath). The ones who wanted rid of Dunn have got what they want but they should support Kelly and the team now before the next major decision is made.

You're thinking of Garry Flitcroft.

Dino Maamria has expressed interest.

Well according to my dip do that I did three times Hurst is odds on! Dip do is a proven method as all managers are chosen that way these days

Thats not correct. In an interview on Radio Cumbria Paul Hornby said that the board had agreed on a name to approach it was not David Dunn and the name was never revealed. Out of the blue Dunns agent got in touch with Barrow and said his client wanted to be considered for the job. The first name they had was never approached.

Yes we need to get out of the current mess but still need to be looking longer term. No point employing an escape artist if that's his only trick.
