Why has Barrow not been sacked yet….

Because he the ‘Eyes and ears’ of big Dave !

And why are people wanting more upheaval at the club. We’ve had enough of that over the last 2 or 3 years.
Maybe the club will let things settle down and then make a decision, after Warren finds his feet.

Joyce will already know he is eyes and ears .four managers have gone….yet barrow still.theranyone would smell a rat. ?

Exactly what I’ve said.

I suspect he’s a VERY good observer of what’s going on with the opposition – “look, boss, their left back is dropping deeper”, “the midfielders are doing blah blah blah”, “the striker is being pulled to the right”, and so on.

It’s up to the manager then to decide what to do with that information. Of course Barrow himself could suggest but perhaps he’s no good at that. We have enough people on here who are great experts at what’s going wrong, but I suspect most wouldn’t be able to use that to good effect. If he could provide that then he would be manager.

A string of managers have kept him on, and so he must be adding value. And don’t give me the “he’s Whelan’s spy” – I’m just not buying that – that managers will happily keep him on with no payback. He is clearly good at something that managers value.

One point gl, the managers haven’t kept him on the board have. The managers have had no option but to work with him and if he was such a great number 2 and given them such good advice we wouldn’t be on our 5th manager post Bobby.

We know how good a management duo can do after PJ and Hutchings and I still believe that had Bobby had a great man with him he would have been more successful.

So it’s all supposition and gossip and nobody actually knows anything.
