David Dunn is the new Barrow Manager

[Claretforever]

I had really wanted Barrow to do well next season too. Shame.

I can see the logic with having access to Blackburn’s young/out of favour players perhaps?

[conyoviejo]

there must be a Mcdonalds and Kentucky nearby ..

[Burnley1989]

their must be a Mcdonalds and Kentucky nearby ..

As it happens there's a KFC and McDonalds literally over the road

You know what though, for me he will always be a Bast*rd but I don't dislike him like some, he just plays the villain and has loads of Burnley supporting mates and family.

[FCBurnley]

Looks like he eats there a lot

[ElectroClaret]

Yep, apparently half his family are Clarets.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Met him quite a few times, he is a decent lad who loves the crack and very down to earth.

His finest moment in their shirt

[Redbeard]

That's them straight back down, then.

(From a friend of his Burnley-supportiing Dad.)

[Hibsclaret]

The fat one is probably still offside.....

[Bordeauxclaret]

I don’t mind Dunn. Lived the dream against us.

He was more restrained than I would have been.

[Caballo]

He's actually a decent lad, who lived the dream. The bstard!

[Blackrod]

Nothing against Barrow and don’t hate Blackburn quite as much as some until I think of players like him. Hope he fails miserably.

[ClaretTony]

He was very poor in charge of Oldham, not sure it's a good appointment at all.

[EarbyClaret]

A pragmatic rather than progressive appointment - the links with Clough and Hill seemed massively ambitious for a club of Barrow's (with all due respect) stature

I hope he does well for no other reason than I like Barrow

[Burnley1989]

Nothing against Barrow and don’t hate Blackburn quite as much as some until I think of players like him. Hope he fails miserably.

[Vegas Claret]

I wish him well, hope he does so well infact that in the future he gets the Rovers job, we then plaster them in a cup game and they get relegated with a 95th minute offside goal by someone in the last game of the season

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

My favourite Dunn moment

[Foulthrow]

Seems an odd appointment. Does he have much managerial experience? I’d also guess that he’s not a big enough name to attract much media attention.

[scouseclaret]

Scuse my ignorance, but what happened to the Barrow manager who got them into the league?

[bfcjg]

Barrows wheel about to drop off

[lakedistrictclaret]

Scuse my ignorance, but what happened to the Barrow manager who got them into the league?

Gone to manage Bolton.

[groove]

Scuse my ignorance, but what happened to the Barrow manager who got them into the league?

Was just about to ask the same question

[Billy Balfour]

Gone to manage Bolton.

Most managers only take a step backwards when they are forced to. Maybe he's a masochist.

[dougcollins]

Looks offside from that photo.

[MRG]

Did they interview any black managers?

[claptrappers_union]

I met him and I know people who have worked with him. He was a top bloke.

[IanMcL]

It would to see Barrow back in the football league and Workington, for that matter.

I saw Reading v Barrow, many years ago. Barrow were on their last legs.

They had the most faded red shirts I have ever seen.

[Buxtonclaret]

Football management.
Not the Dunn thing.

[scouseclaret]

Gone to manage Bolton.

Are Bolton 10 years ahead of Barrow?

[Inchy]

I don’t mind Dunn.

In some of the games he played against us you could tell he was the only person on the field who knew the magnitude of the the game for the fans.

The biggest compliment I can pay him is I was delighted when he decided to retire

[Clarets4me]

I don't suppose that amidst all the euphoria in Bolton on 8th January 2010 when Mr Coyle was appointed manager, that they thought that just over a decade later, they'd be kicking off the 2020-21 season, in Tier 4, facing Barrow, Mansfield and Orient .....

[Andreshotboots]

I've never hated him. If I'd have ever played for Burnley and played well, scored goals and had won the majority of games against Blackburn like he has against us, i would have been an unbearable ****.

[Jamesy]

Never disliked the bloke. If most of us are honest about it, his presence in the derby matches gave the games a bit more edge. Good luck to him at Barrow, however I think he is destined to fail.

[Aclaret]

Yep, apparently half his family are Clarets.

Yes, heard his dad is a Claret, not sure if that's right or not.

[KevWebstersBomber]

Nothing against him as a bloke, but I still hope they get beat every week.

He will end up doing hospitality tours of Ewood in 9/12 months time.

His dad, Ian,sure is a Claret, he even has a Burnley tattoo on his arm. When we played Birmingham in a pre-season friendly a few years ago, Ian (Hoddy), even joined in with the " who are ya"?? taunts when Dunn took a corner in front of the Jimmy Mac lower.
