Could be a very interesting turn of events. Wonder if this leaves Barrow out of a job?

Barrow works part time at Chesterfield, coming from a comfortable life with them to a relegation battle with no pot to piss in would be a massive difference to his lifestyle. Barrow is a well connected and popular guy who doesn't really need to be involved and can easily get a backroom role elsewhere.

Please bring Barrow home. We need someone who is going to put the fear of god, into this gang of underachievers.

Did he even apply for the job before the deadline, given he was unsure about Caldwell's departure (even though it was on the cards)?
If so, then you can narrow it down to three, Bignot, Barrow & Maamria.

We need to apppint whoever asap. The Port Vale job might be appealing to some of the leading contenders

Considering it's very doubtful he applied before midweek (as he was fully employed by Chesterfield) then you can put to bed any hope of him coming here. Someone who hasn't applied is incredibly unlikely to make a shortlist for interview!

Barrow asap. Remember he turned a relegation team, into a promotion winning side. He wouldn't stand the the lacklustre performances of some of these.

My feeling to, as the application process does seem to have taken longer than necessary with interviews nearly two weeks after JM removal. Given jobs which are now available time is not on our side. Although on the flipside we may have an unexpected candidate ......

I have my doubts that Football League clubs would be interested in appointing most of those in serious contention for our job, although that doesn't prevent them from applying for such roles.

Moore or Bignot or even Kevin Davies to Port Vale is not entirely inconceivable.

I guarantee that Port Vale will not be interested in any of those three. We shouldn't be either. |

Caldwell was sacked for a reason.he was crap and barrow WAS part of the problem FACT. We need new blood in not somebody wanting to come back for sentimental reasons if he has applied.get BIgnot in asap and let's go again.barrow is history ,let's keep it that way.

Had forgotten about Davies when I wrote that but notice he's been made joint favourite for the Chesterfield job tonight on SkyBet - may be in with a decent chance of it given he started his career there. As for Vale, given the dreadful run of form under rookie manager Michael Brown in recent months I suspect they will go for an experienced boss this time around. |

It would make a mockery of the interview process if we did that after telling everyone the deadline. Barrow is not coming here, because we can't afford him. A manager who has worked at the level barrow has would want to strengthen the team and we have no money to do this |

McCarthy for Port Vale boss. After all it was those idiotic rumours linking him with the Vale position that led to that bloody two and a half year contract extension in the first place.

Barrow will be interested, and until we go to press announcing who from the shortlist got the job he has every chance of being named our manager, it wouldn't make a mockery of the selection process, some of you guys need to think logically about this!
He is the right man for the job and the board must recognise this, even if he hasn't applied for the job yet there's no reason to write him off!

The club will look stupid if he is given the job after saying they are not head hunting and after the closing date, don't get me wrong I have no problem with GB but it would be a massive U turn now . |

Why is it head hunting? He's probably going to be out of work on Monday and the announcement of the new manager isn't due until 23rd! |

Ah yes Mr Perfect Fit for our managers job, you would be fantastic as our manager, however your application was just after the deadline so sorry, we'll appoint someone inferior instead! This is is a results game, I don't give a toss about deadlines or application processes, appoint the best person for the job! Not the one who applies first. I want the best manager for MY club, end of. |

If the board don't accept an application from barrow because it's after the closing date then they are more amateurish than I ever thought.
I'm just pleased you are not on the board making the decision, management of change is certainly not your forte

How can that be amateurish ? the job was advertised and a closing date set and has been short listed your logic baffles me, that smacks me as professional.

To be fair, they're doing it properly, ethically and yes, professionally, how it's done in every other field ever known. The problem is that football has always been, and always will be, completely different to any other line of work - in just about every aspect.

So we should discount someone who was unavailable during the application window, who is now potentially available. I'm glad you are not on the board, we'd be screwed |
