Delighted it's sorted but the "expansive, entertaining" and "possession-based" team that will score goals is a helluva lot to promise.... or is it to aim for?boltonbonce wrote:Talks a good game. Let's hope he can produce the goods.

I was pleased that Barrow said our management team behaved professionally - we need references after our last owner and it bodes well for the future. Gawd I hope he delivers - although it does appear that he hasn't got responsibility for signings. Presume he'll be consulted and it may be as simple as Evatt handing them a wish list, but I suspect not. Still, very positive development.
It was the "head coach" job title that made me think he may not have responsibility for signings as the whole point of the title is take pressure off him so he can focus on the team. I mean why not "manager" if he has that responsibility? In most countries, head coach equates to manager, but in the UK to date, head coaches like when Pochettino was at Spurs, Pulis at West Brom etc they only pick and train the team while the recruiting is done by someone else.Whitesince63 wrote:
Who said he hasn’t got responsibility for signings lusty? Both Ian Evatt and Toby will decide together who we bring in but I don’t for a minute think players will be forced upon him, otherwise what’s the point of recruiting someone whose main strength is evaluating players. Toby will probably be the main one negotiating the fine detail of contracts or dealing with agents but Evatt will definitely be involved in deciding who it is we do sign.

Now that isn't to say that the HC doesn't influence buying decisions and I guess the key to that is how much influence the coach has on recruitment as alluded to in my comments. It could well be the case that the coach actually decides who he wants whilst someone else does the mechanics of the deal.
If you happen to know how the specific relationship will work at BWFC I'd be interested to know.
It was - as was the initial press release. We've all been here before so all we can hope for is that this time we'll stop the slide and it will come good.Natasha Whittam wrote:I've nothing against the guy, but the fan reaction was exactly the same when Hill took over.
