| Quote: SRC "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 !'"
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!

| Is it just me or is Des Johnston into bulk buying quantity with little or no emphasis on quality?
Quote: "The Chronicle understands that the players were personally offered to Barrow chairman Des Johnston by Quinn earlier this week and that the wheels were set in motion as early as Wednesday morning. "
So Barrow don't go shopping for players who the coach particularly targets, they just wait until a batch are offered to them and then say "sure, we'll have 'em!"

Get the impression they've just signed them to stop them from signing for other sides like Leigh who were obviously going to be in the market for new players.
