Players are also due back to begin pre season training on Wednesday.

Chris Phillips has also said that the club expect Stephen McLaughlin leave.

Same old re the stadium but hopefully the players will be back and a new manager appointed this week

"must know the leagues and the players" Sounds as if Darren Currie could be the first choice. He has probably had to shop around in Division 2 and National League for players which is where we may well have to deal.

I'm glad that everything looks bright to Ron after our worst ever league campaign. If he is so confident I am expecting him to put the club up for sale if we dont get promoted at the first attempt or anymore delays to the stadium.

 

[MisterStubbs]

A very positive interview from Ron, let’s hope once a new manager is in place he’ll continue to be positive and give the new man all the tools he needs to help us have the best season we can have.

So, I would assume we'll know about the new manager by Wednesday when the players return to training.

"Football Management, if a person truly wishes to succeed, is living and breathing the club day in day out not just during training but being focused on the players well being 24/7 too."


Is the comment concerning level of committment a critique of PB and his media work and SC's reported lack of involvement and interest in the players?

 

[Strike Force]

Great statement from a great man.

 

[camden shrimper]

I always wonder who expects a club statement to be anything less than positive, especially when we are currently trying to entice new people to prominent roles within the company....

Makes me think it's not Currie if we're announcing this week. He'll be still deciding if he wants to stay at Barnet or not

"Whilst we will start behind closed doors (livestream will be available)

Whilst it always seemed likely, is this the first time we've had confirmation of match streaming so long as fans can't attend the match?

Surely he should know by now.

 

[MisterStubbs]

Hopefully the new man will be in place before the players return on Wednesday.

 

[tommy tucker]

if it was Currie cant see much of money to shell out to Barnet .His contract will be up in sept .And if he wants the job could see him quitting Barnet before then .Only time will tell .

Why? He may have already decided that, if they failed at getting promoted via the play offs, he'd leave if a League club were interested in his services with the right offer.

If that's the case I hope it's not going to be McGreal.

 

[pete boss]

guys its Tilly...im delighted... he will get us off to a flyer! i know it!

 

[RHB]

It won't take long to get to Wednesday, just three more sleeps. Whereas there are still 145 sleeps to Christmas! As to who it is, we will soon know.

 

[Ricey]

If that's the case I hope it's not going to be McGreal.

I doubt it’s McGreal. It will be a complete shock if it’s anyone outside of the named 3.

 

[Medway Blue]

I'm struggling to understand why anybody thinks that an appointment being made this week necessarily rules out Darren Currie...
