Non negotiable for the new manager to not work with Barrow. Its the strangest scenario I can remember. I really think we need Barrow but non negotiable?

Sounds like we are telling the new Manager that hes not actually the boss, how does that work.

Its strange if they haven't appointed someone and cleared it with him first.

Its a weird way to go about things, I think they wanted to put some good news out there after Ricketts left but in hindsight probably should have waited on this one.

i suppose it is to minimise disruption if/when a manager leaves, which is understandable due to recent events.
Also if we are led to believe the Wrexham job is an attractive job, and GB is as experienced as they come, i don't think it should be too big a hurdle to overcome for interested parties.

Barrow even says he would tell DL what to do, in jest. If it works it works but its very very strange.

Well, we're still in this league for starters, the right man takes us up in my opinion. And both of them couldn't wait to jump ship as soon as another carrot was dangled in front of them. So from that point of view were they the correct choice?

Is this a case of Chinese whispers.? Did Den want £150K or...did the T&T football federation want £150K to allow him to sign?
I just can't see why Den would have applied knowing that he was going to be demanding that kind of wage. He knows we couldn't afford it.

I agree if it hasn't all been sorted and they're just waiting to announce it.

If they are still interviewing and haven't got their man yet it could restrict who they can get.

It’s bloody frustrating when they don’t see the job through. Both could have been but never gave themselves the chance.

However, who’s to say the next bloke won’t do the same...even Askey!
