Echo News Barnet boss Darren Currie

[flangejackrabbit]

Ricardo Santos (mentioned a few times here as a potential capture along with Currie) has gone to Bolton. I think he will do well.

That’s what, the 6th signing Bolton have made already? They aren’t hanging about are they!

Pretty sure I read yesterday that they were now up to their 10th signing so as you say they’re certainly not hanging about!!

To be fair they only had one senior player left at the end of the season. They released pretty much the whole squad.

I don't suppose there is anyone, with nothing better to do this morning, considering positioning themselves near the entry to the training ground to see if there any new arrivals?

Complete guess work here but Chris Phillips has just tweeted "for obvious we're not allowed to take pictures of training today". Surely if it was Fagan there wouldn't be anything they don't want us to see yet?

I read that as being due to Covid but maybe I'm being naive

Same here.

Ah yes. Hadn’t thought of that ?

I'm having second thoughts about who it will be. If it is Fagan and he is involved in training today, wouldn't it be easy to announce that he has the job? My money, if I had any, is slowly moving towards Currie.

Ive heard from a reliable source in the game that Currie is very likely to be installed tomorrow, and already has plans for players to bring in.. Akinola and Johnson among them.

Macca and Ralph off then.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

It is looking like Currie. I think Chris Phillips knows who it is going to be and in his article about the players returning to training says that Currie is favourite for the job even though in the betting stakes he is behind Fagan.

Of the three candidates Currie is the one where you can why there could be delays getting it over the line- he has to get out of Barnet/leave a club to come. But its still pure speculation even if it explains things a bit. Akinola is a goalscoring, pacing winger who can play down the middle- so I would be far from disappointed.

Johnson unlikely - I thought he signed a 2 year contract at Barnet last year and to waste resource getting yet another left back in would not be an auspicious start- we have Clifford, Ralph, Kyprianou as senior players in that position already before we even go near the youngsters.

Completely agree with this. And with Fagan taking training anyway, surely if he is Ron's man it would just be announced?

Johnson's already left Barnet.

Johnson's already left Barnet.

Thx. Still a 4th senior LB - given stretched resources this would not be a good start..

Who's going to tell him about the embargo...

Who's going to tell him about the embargo...

Craig Fagan?
