Oh dear oh dear.

I hope we have some one lined up to replace him who likes to play attacking football.

I think it's in everyone's best interests if this all gets concluded as quickly as possible. Hopefully we will be able to bring in someone who has been as good for the team as GB has been. Nobody is irreplacable but this is certainly a blow.

If true this is sad news for the club because it is no coincidence that the improvement in football played has improved since Graham Barrow has been at the club. However great news for Graham and we should all wish him good luck. I cant understand where the clamour for Mark Maddox comes from though, yes he was a good club servant but we need a coach with experience and proven ability or we may start to move slowly backwards.

Indeed sad news and a big blow to the club, I was fortunate to have a chat with him prior to a home game towards the end of last season for a few minutes and found him really knowledgable and a nice guy...

Good luck Graham with you venture into the big time at Wigan. I am certain that you will do a great job. Come back and see the Alty when you get the chance..

Best wishes

Very bad new for Alty. GB has been a great servant both as a player and in his current role and will be a loss to us. Nevertheless, all the very best of luck to him if he does go to Wigan ... as has been said above, send a few youngsters our way!

(He also provided a bit of a giggle when he was player/managing Chester against us in the FA cup and had a 'wrestle' with Paladino! ::))

Perhaps this could be Colin Little's chance to move into a player/coach role. What do others think?

My only concern about Colin Little becoming assistant manager would be his lack of any previous experience in such a role. However, if he proved to be as influential in that role as he's been as a player that would be amazing. Another advantage as pointed out to me by a fellow supporter the other day is that he is already on the wage bill and would cut down on expenditure. This could potentially allow more money for new players.

It is vital that we make the right appointment in order that we can continue the steady progress of last season.


EDIT: It's been mentioned on the BBC website about him going to Wigan as well now   http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/wigan_athletic/8105620.stm

At the risk of being accused of insulting Colin Little again......

Mark Maddox has taken and passed a substantial number of his coaching badges and is currently in charge of Accringtons Academy so he does have some experience.

I work with a woman whose son has done the rounds of the Academies and said that Mad Dog is the best coach he's encountered at any of them despite the fact that he'd just told him he wouldn't make it.

It's not only that - there is nothing remotely insulting (or otherwise) about Colin Little in his post!

First American to grasp concept of irony
by Volker Weber

Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony.

"It was weird" Fullmer said. "I was in London and like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, "Great weather eh?" and I thought - "Wait a minute, no way is it great weather".

Fullmer then realised that the other man's 'mistake' was in fact deliberate.

Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, plans to use irony himself in future.

"I'm, like, using it all the time" he said. "Last weekend I was grilling steaks, and I burned them, and I said "Hey, great weather."

I believe you can get an ointment for that.
