I have been away with work for the past 48 hours, and catching up on RP, it appears that things have got blacker and blacker. I am glad I don’t get involved in the behind the scenes politics - I don’t understand most of the heavy stuff on here.

Why a bigger gamble then Keates or Ricketts?

Cos he has been out of main stream football for yonks. Has anyone heard of any of his progress or great achievements? I wish him well, but let’s not guild the Lily.

Sorry - have to disagree - no difference to me but appreciate your view.

Keates knew the club inside out as well as knowing the league inside out, I didn’t see him as much of a risk at all. Ricketts was a big risk but with Barrow with him it worked. Hughes assistant will be crucial. Please don’t give me the nonsense that Hughes knows this club, it’s a world away from what he knew. It is unrecognisable.

Wouldn't dream of it - but like the others he is untested, is young and wants to make a go of it.

He is also an ex-player who does know a little bit about the passion supporters have.

I agree - the choice of assistant important.

To be fair so was Keates. Coaching kids part time at Glyndwr.

The only thing Keates did was sign Manny and Pearson. Great buys, but that’s all he did.

Very true Fog he commented on the New stand.

Barrow should have been made caretaker manager for a few months in hindsight.
