Barrow Re-writes History! 17:33 - Mar 28 with 2530 viewsTVOS1907

Barrow was interviewed in Wigan's programme.

According to him, he nearly got Dale promoted in his first season and improved us year on year.

He also claimed he brought money in through player sales and, given another season, he could have taken us to the next level.

Presumably he meant the next level down.

He also said he left every club he has managed in a better shape than when he took over.

Diluted.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

These days we sell all our best players. Barrow never sold any of them. I'm sure Andy Thackeray had offers by the bucket-load, but Barrow stayed resolute.

Who are YOU with?

Barrow claims Bywater as his sale in a roundabout way but, when pressed, says that it was all the board's doing and he only "helped them out" by fielding him in a game in which we conceded six goals.

Was Peake sold to Brighton under Barrow or did that predate him? Butler to Bury may have technically been done during his time

Barrow said Butler had already decided to leave before he arrived and he couldn't change his mind.

Barrow was awful, but took ages for many Dale fans and more importantly the board to realise how bad he was. Some Dale fans threatened other Dale fans for expressing their thoughts about Barrow.

At least he got rid of Alex Russell. For no money. We had Andy Farrell anyway.

And we'll always have Darlington away.

There was once an interview with Barrow in an EGP magazine, which cosisted of much the same claptrap as has been reported on this thread.

It made me wonder if I had been dreaming during his managerial reign at Spotland. It was also the only time that I ever intentionally stopped watching Dale.

Barrow has a 'selective' memory.

“It is easier to fool people, than to convince them that they have been fooled”

Yes, I meant deluded.

'Diluted' is a word mistakenly used on here in the past by someone who no longer posts.

The rest of your post is 100% accurate!

Diluted was accurate in many ways, all of the entertainment was diluted in Barrow's time.
