Due a Testimonial
|
![]() It is quite common in business to agree a package with a prospective new employer, so you go to hand in your notice and your current boss makes you an improved offer to stay. It has happened to me.
Lawrence has done nothing wrong. Club's mistake was in offering Barrow the 2.5 year assistant deal before crossing t's and dotting i's on Lawrence's contract, this started a chain of horrible expensive events |

The board have continualy been let down over the last few months. I have great sympathy for them. If anyone thinks making these decisions is easy look at virtually every football club in the world. A very small percentage get it right and even fewer go on to retain that talent.

In the end Barrow was already contracted to the club; there was no need to jump the gun and offer anything else until a new manager was in place. Had the the board not done so there would have been far more scope for chasing other targets when Lawrence pulled out. This the point where it all started to go wrong. Then again I'm sure this is all our fault.

We don't know the complete story. Maybe he just doesn't have the heart for it any more? Maybe he doesn't have the relationship with the players he had before? Maybe he has had enough of the circus? Its a free country. You can change your mind. The whole sorry mess from Ricketts leaving to now has given more questions than answers. Barrow clearly thought he could give it a go, realised he was out of his depth and said I need to go. Its probably kind of hard to stick around after that no matter what was said before. |

Tipped As Manager
|
![]() We can either spend our time blaming managers and players for all the club's ills or admit there are some issues with the management of the football side of things by the board and work to address them.

Barrow agreed a 1 year contract to see how things would go. He enjoyed the training ground atmosphere and enjoyed working with Rickets. Rickets was happy with Barrow and asked the board to extend Barrows contract to end at the same time as his. The board approved the request, formalised a new contract and offered it to Barrow. The deal was verbally done before the Shrewsbury fiasco. The board were then legally tied to the contract. Whilst Barrow initially said he didn't want to manage he changed his mind and said he wanted the job. Easy decision for the board to make. Barrow then appoints Newell. 3 weeks into the job experiencing the highs and lows of a 7 day a week job rather than amore relaxing 3 / 4 day part time position Barrow speaks to Spencer to inform him that it wasn't working for him and he would like to step down. He would stay on until the process of finding a new man was completed. The board looked at previous candidates and conducted interviews keeping Barrow informed. Bryan Hughes was interviewed last Sunday and was appointed a few days later. Bryan wanted Barrow to stay on as assistant but that would have meant Barrow replacing Newell who he'd appointed. I believe that it was at this point that Barrow decided to go completely. Must admit I got confuse over the Data Protection stuff which apparently stopped the WAFC board telling the trust board what was happening. It seems it's down to employer / employee confidentiality. Meeting basically panned out as I expected. Telling questions not asked as the initial statement / address covered most of the issues that have been discussed on here. |
