If I was him I'd be walking away first thing in the morning, regardless of the score.

For Des Johnstone to walk into the changing room in the teams Grand Final at half time to talk to the players is the most undermining thing he could do. Who are the players listening too? If Des wants to coach, then get rid of Clark and coach, if you can't - then leave it to the person YOU put in charge!!!

He should never have left the band.

He'll have a 14,000 capacity stadium built before Easter

He's certainly larger than life but i'm unsure as to what his ultimate aim is. Does he have enough money (or the will) to get Barrow their stadium? I like him. Yes, he's full of crap and comes across arrogant but he's responsible for getting his club a GF trophy in their season debut.

More to the point--before this season started who knew who Dave Clark was in Rugby League??

He has done a fantastic job with players who, lets face it, many of us wouldnt have wanted in a Widnes shirt. Barrow are ahead of us on the field. Lets not rest on our laurels just because we are ahead off the field.

Barrow Herald and Tribune
Monday 5th October 2009

In a move that is set to excite everyone in Barrow, that is called Des Johnston, The Barrow Raiders Board (Des Johnston) have this morning ratified a radical new proposal for the structure of the playing staff.
"We would like to thank Dave whatisname... you know...the guy that wore the tracksuits and that around the training field...errrr.. it'll come to me, for all his assistance in helping me to get the win I deserved yesterday. But I'm not resting on my laurels" an invigorated Johnston stated dressed in full Raiders playing kit and wearing the Grand Final Trophy on a chain around his neck.
"We nearly didn't win and this can't be allowed to happen next season and so in order to increase my influence the next puppet... err coach will be my flash new alter ego Dezzy Johnston."
"I am also awarding myself the shirt numbers 6,7, 9 and 13 for next years squad and will be playing all of the pivotal team positions at the same time." Winking as he continued.. "I obviously don't come cheap boys but we'll find a way of affording me under the salary cap.... if you know what I mean. Now... BOW ALL BEFORE ME!!"

And whats that? a tick in the box to super league? You won't get their. However Barrow have been the best team in the league this season. No doubt about it. Also fairt play to their chairman for ploughing the money in.
