I'd imagine a cumulative league table of all the clube in England over the last five seasons would have us bottom by a mile. We've been going at barely 1ppg for a decade. The backing all of our managers have had at matches post-Megson has been staggering. And far more than most have deserved. Worst away record in the football league In the last decade or something according to the Bolton news a bit back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted June 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2020 Colls played Barrow this season, our manager had just got wed so Evatt brought him a bottle of champers. Class act. However he put out a weakened team and should have come unstuck but for a referee sending off our striker for celebrating a goal that put us 2-1 up after not sending off a defender for hauling him down. Ref assessor said it was a red. Our fanbase wouldn't take that well. Barrow is a funny club, all the players are from around here and they train near Accy. I don't know much about the conference but players were on good money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizlar Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I have watched Barrow a couple of times this season as a mate lives up in Barrow ground very open and old fashioned 1 stand rest is standing 15 quid to watch the match. They play decent football uses the full backs alot Quigley up front is a handful tall quick will do well in league 2 . Rooney's brother plays for them excellent footballer runs the show from midfield scores goals very vocal. Couple of good centre half as well . Barrow lads think manager will leave if a good offer comes alongs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Carlos Posted June 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 15, 2020 I've watched Barrow for 180 minutes and worked with Lewis who is quoted in that vid, never thought they were Barcelonaesque, they have a lot of possession but vunerable on the break and beat Colls with a freekick and a pen.

Additionally, on the video, he explains how he got rid of high earners at Bury, and greatly reduced the wage bill. Must have something about him.

Which goes back to him being allowed to pick his own players and not necessarily have to use players given to him by a director of football. Sounds like he knows how to set up a team and has a plan, for me that's key. I feel like we havent had a manager who's got a clue since Allardyce. Does anyone know if his budget at Barrow is a major reason for finishing top? If he's paying the highest wages it does put his achievement in perspective, if not he's obviously a good manager.

He is not paying high wages - 40 seconds in the video clip refers to him having a bottom 6 budget I found it an interesting watch - like the fact he has played at all levels of English Football. Might put £10 on him - that should make him odds on favourite by tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOWTUN BAKED Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Does anyone know anything about this Tobias Phoenix? If we're taking this moneyball route then the manager will have to be a good coach, but whose to say this Phoenix chap will locate the right players?

Site Supporter Steejay Posted June 15, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2020 Problem with Evatt is the compensation. Apparently AFC Fylde tried to poach him last year but the compo was £100k. He might ask Barrow to be sympathetic to him if we're offering him a double your money deal. I can't see his wages being all that up there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is just complete speculation on my part, but he may have a contract clause that would involve a reduced compensation figure if approached by a Football League club.

He’s also less time to go on his contract. Also if FV are serious about rebuilding this club 100k to get the correct person at the helm (not saying he is btw) should be something they are willing to put in. It’s not a lot of money in reality compared to the costs of the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The way I see it Phoenix will find a pool of players (say 12) then talk with head coach in the hope to sign 3 of them.I maybe wrong but that's my take Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, I've never heard of owt like that before. Of all the candidates, he's probably the one that I'd get most excited about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
