None of them the players haven`t been good enough. In the 6 Seasons in the EFL wonder how much Harrogate have paid out replacing Managers compared to Barrow AFC.

None of them. The players won. Soft-arses should be ashamed.

None the way it happened. If Dino had got the January transfer window he’d have kept us up

Stupidly donated the crystal ball to the local charity shop, when clearing out Mystic Meg’s house.

Only Andy Whing averaged over a point a game, before his sacking. So the stats would point to him, however…

Agree, on the premise the players bought into him and his ways, rather than spitting their dummies out when it got a bit too difficult for the poor babies.

Toxic player power has run wild this season. This is what happens when you sign so called ‘confidence’ players. Who can only do well when ‘the sun shines’. Absolutely stealing a wage some of them.

Also not enough leaders, holding those underperforming and underachieving accountable. Every side needs that. Leadership, determination and working hard for each other.

The clowns have run the circus unfortunately. Good riddance when they leave. You won’t be missed. Go and destroy someone else’s club. :x

Got to feel sorry for all the managers. Can only work with what you have. Think Dino would have kept us up. We’ll never know.

This set of players would have genuinely gone on strike if Dino stayed.

You could be right. The time he brought them all up to Holker Street on the Friday morning to train was the final straw for many.

The bigger question should be which manager in his right mind would work with this bunch of work shy , cowardly players.?
All shame on them not the managers who tried.
.....and don't get me started on Canavan the so called captain . Leadership level Zero. He should be the first one out the door.
