Quote from the Barrow BOD
"Several candidates have applied for the Barrow job.
We have spoken /contacted them all ,but once we new that Steve McCormack might be available ,we contacted him,he came to see us,he liked us ,we liked him.
A contract was agreed but couldn't be signed until Steve sorted his financial affairs out at Widnes.We agreed not to announce anything in the best interest of Steve.
That was due to be completed by last Friday ,but unfortunately Webster the Hull KR *** coach can't get a visa to stay as a coach at a Super league club,therefore Hull KR offered the post to Steve.An offer he couldn't turn down.
He phoned me on Friday night to tell me this and I was gutted,as was the rest of the Board."
