Coaches to Barrow. : Tue Jul 05, 2011 12:47 pm  

Or perhaps it should read coaches away from Barrow........Again.

What superb timing for us, 4 points behind, If we can beat em by 13 then 1 point behind with game in hand means playoff spot here we come !!!!.

Come on the mighty Fax, A big push this weekend before the NRC final.

The loss of a coach the week before a big match is a weird one really. They'l either collapse and we'll hammer them, or they will be more fired up than ever and we'll get turned over.

never easy up there.

if we defend properly, i think we'll do it.

im sure MC and Nobby couldnt care less whos coaching Barra.....we have to concentrate on ourselves.

Mahusive game on sat!

i don't know if this is good or bad news. Dave Clark will be taking over the reigns and he knows the barrow team better than any body, so will probably have them fired up and will want to prove something to old Des

What is Des paying Clarke or is Clarke just a glutton for punishment going back again to be s**t on when Des finds a new coach who he thinks will be a pushover

The only thing "unusual" is Des Johnston Dave Clark is no better. He's like a fly going at a hot lightbulb.

DJ told NW it was a cost cutting exercise, when he phoned him to sack him, but as NW pointed out, he needs paying off, Gary Schofield is still being paid off, and now Des has to pay Dave Clark as well!

After Des's comments the other week about if they don't start getting regular 2500 crowds their in trouble, is he cutting his financial input?

It'll take Alan Sugar another three series of The Apprentice to catch up with Dessie.
