Quote: haven4ever "yes it tells me his community role is with the rfl who organise and fund it and dessie cant touch him, doesnt matter how you dress it up with 6 games to going sitting 2nd and with 3 or 4 key players out injured some for the season
His community role is nothing to do with him staying as assistant coach. Other clubs fans are trying to stir up trouble where at the moment there doesn't seem to be any.

ETA I don't see any Barrow fans coming on here ranting and raving about the decision. Shame the forum most Barrow fans use is down at the moment.

Quote: haven4ever "so the soloution is to replace a coach who got you automatic promotion from NL2 and has demonstrated that he can hack it NL1 and replace him
with a coach who on paper had the best squad by a country mile in NL2 and not only failed to get automatic promotion but also failed to get them oldham into NL1 via the play offs. fail to see how that is the best move

if the rumours of a top coach next season are true then would it not have been better to keep clark at the helm until the end of the season then make him assistant learning under a top SL coach, regardless of what he has said in the paper he will not be happy being replaced by some one who he beat hands down as a coach last season

as for some of you Des can do no wrong sickafants, this is NL1 you will not always beat teams by 50 points, just like you will go through a sticky patch of playing poor and scrapeing wins,sacking the coach with 6 games to go is hardly the best way to get the players out of it

this has DJ wriiten all over it, how much money will it take to realise that you cant just buy success, no doubt you will have an influx of players before the deadline, and it may turn things around it may not,

what ever happens at the end of the season you will loose a very good coach in clark as i have no doubt he will be snapped up'"
from what i can gather the problem at barrow wasn't the coach , is was the fact he has not got a big enough squad , so for me his chairman has let him down not the other way round , dave clark was a good coach , you can tell with his results , but with injuries , suspentions , sackings , illnesses , he just aint got the squad to compete ,and mr johnson is struggling to get players to come down the m6 , so for me no strengh in depth cost clark his job , and that lies in the hands of the directors !

i totally agree with what you say,but i hope that with clarky stepping aside for this other coach deakin to take over with his so called exsperience, which is nothing to smile about from what ive been reading, the team makes it to the finals, but i would laugh my a** of if they didnt, this would make the club realise they should have left clarky where he was,
all the best to clarky your a great coach

Well that quote makes your name a joke ! At the end of the day, regardless of what you think of the situation, all we want is what is best for the club and to see it do well !! To say you would laugh your ar*e off if Barrow fails is inexcusable mate !! eusa_naughty.gif

For what it is worth, I thought Dave Clarke had done a sterling job as head coach up until after the 2nd half of the league win against Fev at home. After that it all went pear shaped (even with a full strength side) because teams cottoned on to us and we had no plan B. Having no plan B and is a COACHING fault. We were shown up for not having another plan in most games after the Fev win and were very lucky to pull through with wins. You cannot knock the efforts of the players because it has been immense. Coaches live & die by their results im afraid - recently they have not been good enough and that is why Dave has had to go !

The new temp coach may offer no more and we may struggle BUT something needed to change and rightly so.

you obviously misread what i was trying to say mate! by laughing my a## of i meant it would have stuck it up the higher raqi letting clarky go and bringing in another coach who was no better than the one they had, seams bloody pointless to me bringing in another coach who's reputation isnt that good, you talk about plan b, what about bringing in more players to the side, especially when there were so many injuries,suspension, and a player being sacked,

all you people want to do is blame the coach, tell me what will happen if barrow loose the next 6 games who will you blame then icon_razz.gif
