They've had 6 managers in 2021 alone, how on earth is that constant chopping and changing helpful to the players.

when it gets to that point of silliness the owner may as well do it himself/herself

Yes Vegas, sack themselves, at least as far as "Interviewers"

"The 42-year-old failed to win any of his matches in charge of the Bees, who have lost five times and drawn twice in the National League this season."

With that sort of form this season, he needs to get the Burnley job, thats how you get a new, improved contract.

Martin Allen has it in his contract(s) that he must manage them at least once before Christmas every season.

I was told last year by a long term fan that the owner Tony Kleanthous is more interested in the business side of The Hive, Barnet's relatively new home, then the football club. Last season, when they had five different managers (Darren Curry, Peter Beadle, Simon Bassy, Tim Flowers, Paul Fairclough) it seems he made a financial decision not to invest in players as there was no relegation.

What you save by not buying players, you lose in compensating sacked managers.

I can never understand how business men who have reached a certain level of success, so as to become football club chairmen, can be so clueless when it comes to running football clubs. In what business do you hire and fire like that without serious questions regarding your own judgement… only paper empires are built without long term planning in any industry, not just football.

Is he really a clueless businessman? He sees things differently from the typical football fan. He looks at money. Will it make money? The Hive is used for weddings and other social events which can get bigger attendances then Barnet FC. He may have used the vehicle of Barnet FC to get to this position.

One could argue that Garlic did something similar. In any case he is 'laughing all the way to the bank' while we fans are still worried about our beloved football club.
