At Barrow's age and with his firm statement about staying put, he's clearly not going anywhere, which gives us some much needed stablity.

I think this is spot on. As well as providing some continuity now it also provides a bit of future proofing if our new man leaves within 7-18 months. It also suggests to me that the Board know who is coming in, that he is happy with GB as his assistant and that GB thinks he can work with the new manager. Didn't he say something earlier in the week about being allowed to work in the way he likes to? At the very least he would have wanted to know the kind of manager we were appointing.
