Salary Cap?????????

Millward said NO thanks to Halliwell i beleive!
If you ask me bothe Barrow and Oldham are in crisis!

Just goes to show that some of the rumours on here are awsome

When you hear names Like the Coyles, Halliwell and you think that Millward will be our coach it doesn't add up, we will be signing far far better than these! Barrow are signing everbody in the slim hope of getting to the GF which they won't next year they go bust their chairman has already shown he is very impatient.

Not worried in the slightest at any of these signings. Does it show how desperate they're getting? Compared to their signings this season in Catic, Bracek, Rooney etc.

Don't talk sh*te. All 4 players would walk into your current squad and you know it.

Wouldnt have minded signing Ballard, was impressed with when Oldham played at our place. Not bothered about the others though.

Barrows chairman seems to be under the impression they would be allowed into SL so it seems he is employing the recent Widnes method of sh*t or bust which resulted in the club folding.

My informant tells me that we have signed Allen????????

Been hearing this cr@p for 3 years now.

The Widnes situation was completely different. Their old chairman (who all in Barrow AFC know to their cost) had a string of wound-up sports clubs behind him prior to him getting involved in the Vikings. Des on the other hand is a local, a fan and there for the long run.

How can the club go bust if it's Des J's money that is being spent (as is always the accusation) ?

4 quality players signed on top of our already very good squad (currently 2nd in the league).

The Oldham Chariman Quinn actually offered these players to Barrow. No signing-on fees - just paying for their contracts for the remainder of the season. Very good business indeed.

My biggest concern is getting them to integrate/gel into the team, but Deakin knows the new boys well and knows how to play them.

Happy days !

this is only the short term fix as we have got alot of injuries to key players, we would be daft to get this far and fall away at the business end of the season everybody wants to win no more than our chairman.

How do you work that one out? There is only Halliwell who has played under Deaks.

The tactic of signing anyone does not always work and considering one of the mentioned players was signing for us before someone else offered more points to sh*t or bust in my book!

To gel 4 new players in is going to take some doing as is keeping the players who thought they would be playing before these were signed happy. Might be a little too much disruption. Also until recently there style of play has been succesful. Who will have to adapt? The coach or the players

Deakin got sacked from Oldham for not getting the best out of these players! Secondly if we where to play Oldham away tomorrow would we all be more confident of a win??? Just a thought!
