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.

You're joking, aren't you? We must have the smallest squad in the Championship (24) and no reserves.

We buy quality not quantity, we are gourmets not gourmands. icon_smile.gif icon_wink.gif

i had a lot of respect for the way the raiders went about their business last season, and the first part of this season, but these signings, coming after acquiring very good players like rooney and catic, are baffling at best and stupid at worst


its all going to end in tears

Got to agree Joanne.
Heard from a source close to the action at Barrow that Dave Clark was (allegedly) very unhappy about his chairmans interference in team affairs and particularly transfer policy. Heard that (allegedly) a number of recent signings were made against his wishes.
Seems to add up doesn't it?
As soon as Clark is pushed out of the door and an apparent 'yes' man is brought in, Johnston goes berserk on transfer deadline day!

I'd still love to know how they are doing on the salary cap. Barrow fans will no doubt say they are still way under it, but I can't see how. Top players like Catic, Rooney, Bracek, Luisi, Noone, etc. will not come cheap, and neither will the 'Oldham 5', for that matter. I wonder if Barrow are gambling heavily on a GF appearance this season, (and I would have fancied them until Widnes' re-emergence) then a points deduction next season wouldn't matter, as they had alrady ticked a SL application box?

Or is it like CC, in that they are all working for Mr. Johnston, and offereing to play for Barrow 'now and again' when not required to work for him? icon_wink.gif

As for Allen not joining us, well I'm not terribly disappointed, as I can think of other positions, where we are more exposed.
