Who is Graham Barrow when he's at home? If you don't want to be here then on your bike.
Was he a member of the Red Wheelbarrows display team ? :unsure:

Several issues here:

Wigan are a Championship side, not a pub team, who have sacked their manager after nine games. We got criticised from some quarters for taking too long to appoint a new manager after MT left, but it appears that the care and diligence we took before appointing GC was the correct way forward.

Both Shaun Maloney and Graham Barrow are close associates of GC (he was assistant to Maloney at Hibs) and could be useful contacts in the future with regards to loan signings.

It would therefore be useful for them to retain their Championship status. But at Rotherham’s expense?

TBH Why would Wigan and Rotherham's league status worry us at all? Just concentrate on ourselves. I do believe so far it does show that the club's decision nort to appoint someone right away after MT left was correct. We all know who we are, How tight things are financially and the difficult balancing act the club has to do and good for them. All explained to GC when interviewed and he obviously accepted and I think in his post match interviews he has come across as a very decent bloke, Both him and MT were good at them but very different in their delivery, You hear other managers and just "Sigh" but GC focuses on the game, Where we went wrong or right and is always quick to praise the fans, Especially the 100's that travel to away games. We've still a lot to do to build on and stay in L1 but so far so good. You'd told me this time last year we'd be in the top half of L1 and looking up instead of down I honestly wouldn't have believed you considering this is a very strong league.

I've been a bar steward for a number of years now.

Well we certainly sem to be trying to build a backroom set up out of "integral parts"....could it be we're angling for IKEA to be the new shirt sponsors?

After all we've already got a Josh KEY on the books (at least for the time being)
Surely what we need to complete the set is an "ALLEN"...eh, Joe?
With that, and a clear set of instructions, we might even be able to assemble a construction to reach the Championship.
Mind you, it will probably take a lot longer than hoped, and involve an awful lot of frustration along the way.

Surely if IKEA sponsored a team they'd insist on the manager playing a flat pack four with at least a couple of big units on the pitch?

And if you went into the centre spot, you’d have to have a tour of the ground before you could get out.

It would need some meatballs in there too.
