Re: Big Den rejects offer!
 

[QUOTE=Ipswich Red;2205234]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.[/QUOTE]

We don’t even know for sure if he has actually applied though.

[QUOTE=Funny_Old_Game;2205244]Barrow has only been here 5 months, I’m not sure why we are treating him as though he’s Joey Jones.[/QUOTE]

Nor me. I think its because someone said he had SR by the throat but if you believe that you'll believe anything. And even if he did, it means nothing really.

[QUOTE=Phils-an-alki;2205233]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?[/QUOTE]

It’s as correct a choice as you get in 2018. What Sam did (less so with Keates) was dirty but at some point we have to accept that this is the game now, all the way up to the top. Criticism of not taking us up barely applies in these instances given the timing of their departures. The sheer level of criticism aimed at both men for leaving shows you that both were right for the job.

The internet, everyone. The club is trying to impose some order on this situation, not making Graham Barrow the King of Wrexham. You don’t have to agree with the choice but this kind of hyperbole is just silly.

Barrow is highly experienced and a bloody good bloke. I expect Barrow will be used to mentor yet another rookie manager and that can't be a bad thing .

I was in favour in DL as our new manager, but not at 150,000. He's not worth that at all. Time for us to choose somebody else and move on.

Agree. Furthermore, our performances in the 2 games since Ricketts left have shown a marked improvement.

Right for the job but walked as soon as the opportunity arose? Hmm, I get your point but I'm not so sure.
Not taking us up, in the context of who is the right choice is ultimately what we judge them on though isn't it?
Morrell took us closest but some folk on here seem to hate the guy more than Mills.

But Macc had Askey, Lincoln had the Cowleys, Luton had Still. I'd say they were the correct choice.

I agree that £150k for a WREXHAM manager in the National League would be silly money. However, we don’t actually know that Lawrence has applied and, furthermore, if he has demanded £150k.

If someone wants to muddy the waters to put fans off an individual, what better tactic than to claim they are a money grabber?

Let’s see what happens.;)
