No Moore Waiting As Micky Gets Barrow Job On Full Time Basis

Moore, who stepped in when Paul Cox quit Holker Street in August, will stay in charge until 2019.

Managing director Andrew Casson says Moore is the right man for the job after nearly a month of seeing him work first hand.

His first game as full time manager will be Saturday's trip to Sutton United. In his last match the club secured a late 1-1 draw with Torquay United. Watch Match Highlights Here.

"We are excited to have Micky officially take over as manager of the football club and think the move will bring stability and confidence to the players," said Casson.

"Over the course of the last month, I have seen dozens of CV’s come across my desk and the Chairman and I have spoken to several of the more qualified candidates, but at the end of the day, we like what we have seen from Micky and think what he brings is necessary for the next stage of the club’s growth.

"He also has an excellent working relationship with Paul Ogden, which would have been critical for any potential manager.

"Micky was asked to make changes to the style of play to produce more exciting football for supporters and give the players a chance to flourish. He has done very well implementing those changes and we see that in the attitude and commitment of the players. The final results haven’t gone our way, but outside of a lacklustre display against Torquay, the commitment has been excellent and the performances are improving.

"Micky’s next tasks are to find an assistant manager, build out his staff and, with Paul Ogden, present a 90-day action plan to the Board that shows where the club needs to improve, both in terms of the squad and off the pitch.

"This is another step in our journey and I hope you will join us in getting behind Micky and giving him the backing he deserves."
