| Oh to be a fly on the Barrow dressing room wall after the game. Yet more words of encouragement from that master of inspirational team talks?

| Quote: Nat (Rugby_Aholic) "You were about to go bust three seasons ago and then Des came in. You are nothing but a manufactured team. Nobody cares about Des's contributions to the club that are recorded in the books. Its the alleged extra contributions that everyone knows about. Why did Henderson leave again?'"
You really should be very careful about what you post on here...I can assure you Hendo did not leave due to any wage dispute. Again your just spouting off about things that you know nothing about.

| Not being funny and I would not wish any fellow team bad luck but I can see Des getting very bored with his toy very soon and putting it in the toybox for good.

| Having a wealthy benefactor who basically bankrolls a sports club is never a good idea. Look at what happened to Oldham when Bill Quinn pulled his cash out on a whim.
I remember a few years ago when I picked up the Yorkshire Evening Post and was astonished at the headline 'Multi-Millionaire to buy Bulldogs'.
Although it was all very exciting, our chairman turned down the said gentlemans offer for the club, citing that fact that he just didn't trust him.
The guy flounced out of a public meeting at Mount Pleasant and was never seen again. I believe he surfaced at Halifax Town, where once on the board he promised money and success.......
Thank God our chairman had the sense to see through the dollar bills.

The thing you have to remember is that Des does not put money in to the club. He has in the past to clear a debt that was incurred through a legal battle over the rights to sell alcohol in the ground. He invested 100k when he joined and made an additional load of 30k (all there in the accounts).
What you all fail to realise is that we OWN our stadia outright so we only have maintenance to cover. We receive all profits from the bar and food, we have a very healthy lottery club that generates £1,000.00's every year, raffles and halftime draws, good local sponsorship (including ground naming). If Des left tomorrow it would not affect our income we would just lose one of the most charismatic men I have met. He doesn’t suffer fools, says what he thinks and is very passionate of sport in general including football...is that a bad thing???
We also received 100k for gubbing Halifax in the GF
All this Des bashing just smacks of jeloysy to me.

so why do you keep going on about us then?
As for beeing a bigger club than Barrow possibly you are but for how long? If you look at your history books we have been here a long time and at the top flight. We are all in the same boat and stuck in the same league so you can be as arrogant as you want as it just doesnt wash anymore.

| If the memory bank serves me correctly, I vaguely remember your club had the begging bowls out at Craven Park.... Weren't such a big club then!!!
And before you start Barrow weren't ever ready to fold and never have or never will...With Des or without him!!

Is this a poor trolling attempt? It's 2 hours with a clear run and God knows what on top of that at rush hour.
