Barker himself also took to social media to say goodbye. His statement is shown in the attached image.

Barker only took the reins at Northwood in the summer. They currently sit eleventh in the table, four points from the playoff positions, with four wins and four defeats from ten matches. It is understood that at the time he actually left the club were in seventh place, but the news was very slow to emerge.
