David Artell Interview Dn35 Podcast

Quoted from Yoda

Offer Barrow manger 200k a year

Unless it's the antique one from Bethlehem and over 2000 years old, it's a bit steep for a rack holding hay for animals, isn't it?

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults

Not convinced by Artell but time will tell. He tried his way, it was a disaster and we kept getting battered and now he's got back in his box and turned into mini Hurst. I'm hoping there's a third way at the start of next season.

I'm not convinced as well, however, he's the manager we have, so I back him and the team.
Having said that I must point out that we sacked PH who had managed 722 games, and 7 clubs in 14 years, and employed DA who managed 274 and 1 club in 5 years.

Conspiracy Theory No1.      Was season 2023-24 the first season "Data" ruled everything? Was the squad recruited by AN Other using this "Data" with PH having to mould them into a team with results that we all saw? I mean they have played like utter strangers for the most part and some with non-existent basic skills.  We've all ordered from the internet items, only to find them not the colour you thought, flimsier than the image intimated, and in the end disappointed. Is this a similar thing?
Conspiracy No. 2.              When PH was sacked, we were assured that the time taken was to get the right person. Were you, as myself, when DA was announced asking, who? Why did it take that long to employ a manager who had been 18 months unemployed, is it because others just didn't want to join and work under these conditions? DA himself has said on many occasions that the two shareholders want and are running very differently from other clubs. Is that one of the differences?  Food for thought eh?
Onto Barrow and hope Rose is fit as we need him. UTM
