Someone who might be able to find a player or two - rather than ringing up Fleetwood, Stoke or Burnley and asking if they have any kids that need a game.

Burr's assistant when Kiddy finished runners-up in the Conference. I do wonder if things might have panned out a bit differently in recent years had Burr been able to bring Whild with him to Chester.

Burr's assistant at Kidderminster for a while - the Burr VIRUS still has its hold on this club even after CUCKCarthy's axe...  |

If this is true it's another very solid appointment. Decent management team in place, we now need to get down the ground on Saturday and show our support where possible.

May be controversial as i know people on here like the person i'm going to question. However, i think a big waste of wage is Callum McIntyre on a full time paid contract. He coaches a part time youth set up and shouldn't really be near the first team with Bignot in charge. Unsure why it was felt necessary to give him a full time contract, and why other people can't do what he currently does during the 75% of time time he's not with the youth team. Like him or not, for me it's wasted wages because he's a popular figure inside the club. |

I also thought Callum's position was sponsored by Swetenhams, and of course he now has additional coaching responsibilities with the new contracted academy players so not quite so part time. However I have long thought that his match day duties with the first team, along with others, is an overkill.

There have been far too many hangers on who have been offering not a lot in that dug out over the last few seasons. We need a manager, assistant and physio. There is no need for anyone else to be hanging around and getting in the way. |

Callum McIntyre's full time role was paid in full by Swetenhams for 6 months. www.chesterchronicle.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chester-fc-academy-head-coach-10739729After which time the role and funding would be reviewed. if Swetenhams (who have been a fantastic supporter and sponsor of the youth development programme at the club for a number of years) have decided to continue to sponsor and provide financial assistance to pay for Callum's role then he should of course continue in his role. It is absolutely vital that the lad is allowed to continue in his role. The work that he, and others before him have done has brought us 130k and more money with the bonuses that are tied in with the Sam Hughes deal. Money that may very well have saved/will continue to save the club in future years. I'm frankly astounded that one or two people on here can sit there and question why we - a community club - need to pay for a Head of the Youth Academy. |

Same with any other youth player in the current set-up. Also - nobody is questioning why we need to pay for a Head of Youth Academy at all, simply questioning why it needs to be a full time role, when the whole set-up itself is part time... The rest of the time, is not spent with the youth team, it's spend on various roles around the club and with the first team, which wouldn't be needed now we have a proper manager and his own team, including Shaw as coach. I personally see it as a part time role, made into a full time role - for non youth set-up reasons. We'd be better off with a part time role, and the rest of the money being invested by Swetehams into the set-up itself. I guess if Callums role is necessary to be full time, then i's question what some others at the club are doing for their wage. Worth noting - i think he does a great job, in the role he is paid to do. Nothing against him at all, but i don't think it's a FT role. |

The new Youth Scholarship means that the U18 & U17 lads are at the club "full-time", realistically they are apprentices, plus the existing U16's set up. That means Callum has more players, who will also require greater coaching and development, under his responsibility than the First Team Manger (Bignot). If anything we aren't putting enough funding into the youth team, we need a part time scout to be on the touchlines of saturday/sunday junior leagues, up and down Cheshire/North Wales/Wirral. Or have we forgotten that we found Sam Hughes playing on a local park, solely down to a volunteer? Whats the probability we'll find someone to do that thankless task, with out reward? I wouldn't. In regards to the rest of the coaching staff, CI and DF are both PT, with Shaw now seemingly downgraded to that remit also, it means we only have 3 coaches, 1 Assistant & 1 Manager. That's skin and bones for our level nowdays! |

The role is more than full time? I have to confess to being one of those people refered to who knows and likes Calum. Ive worked with him on and off since he was 17. What I would say is that I reckon for every hour the club pay him, he works two.
He is an excellent coach, who is coaching the scholars every day, out every night with younger age groups training, and out all day Sunday at games.
The paperwork for safeguarding alone would be horrendous, add to that his constantly dealing with parents, coaches, player and welfare issues.
The fact that he has helped the first team out when the club asked him to is a bonus for the club. He would have received no extra money for this.
Swetenhams Chemists continue to support the academy and this is a credit to Calum who has nurtured a strong working relationship with the owners of the company. Calum, nobody else. This is why that relationship endured where other commercial deals floundered under previous mismanagement.
Add to this the £140k the academy has just raised through the sale of Sam Hughes, a player Calum coached for 3 years.
What you are suggesting is that we take money off a professional young man who puts his heart and soul into producing young players for this club?
The first team does need rescuing from McHell, but to rob the academy to do it? Ridiculous.

very good post, nwas, an absolute ridiculous suggestion by sqzl, total ignorance Let's settle down a second chap. The post was made in reflection to what has been posted about the role in the past, when it was a part time role. Like i said i have no doubts that the work he does is creditable, and he's a very good coach. My point was that what real difference has happened in the last year to warrant the full time position. Now theses questions have been answered by NWAS, it's more understandable that the hours of the role were increased. No need to get the drums out though, i'm fairly sure Maguire and Allen put many of unpaid hours of work in, but still get slated on here. My point is, i've incorrectly jumped the gun based on a position, something no doubt that will happen again. Stand corrected, but hop off my arse and make a counterpoint like NWAS, makes more sense. |
