Yesterday midfielder Liam Davies returned to Chester FC following his month-long loan at Leek Town. In my opinion, their is no point in him being here any more as Marcus Bignot has strengthened the squad a lot, so it would do him well to leave as he could get first team football elsewhere.

I think his contract runs out soon as it was only 6 months long?

Presumably Leek, midtable in the Evo Stik Division One South, weren't exactly dying to keep hold of him.
Only a young lad so don't want to be too harsh on him, but god, what a poor bit of business it was to give him a six month contract on a budget as tight as ours.

Yes. McCarthy extended the contract for 12 months.

Correct - his contract was extended before he'd kicked a competitive ball for us this season based on nothing other than the fact that he'd apparently trained relatively well in pre-season and was Tom Davies' brother. Spectacular waste of money.

For crying out loud! Hope you're both wrong but I suspect you're not.

For crying out loud! Hope you're both wrong but I suspect you're not. We are not. I remember reading about it in pre season, not quite believing what I was seeing.

I looks like he was given a 6 month contract in June according to the Dave Powell article linked above, and thenthat was extended by another 6 months a month later according to this one by Paul Wheelock: Liam Davies Truly bizarre state of affairs, what on earth had he done in a month?

IIRC the desire was to give him 12m but we couldn't afford it so he only got 6 in the hope a cup run out other unexpected income could then support an extension. I think that income came shortly after so the contract was extended.

Jesus Christ. Virtually all of McCarthy's signings need to be binned. together with that waste of space Jordon Chappell, If we have any hope of staying up. McCarthy really is the gift that keeps on giving.

Mad Macca extended Davies’ deal when Horwood went to Bala. The departure apparently left us weak on the left side so he thought it wise to extend Davies deal.
Now having seen some appalling displays from the likes of Rapley, Lowndes, Andy Harris, Craig Hobson et al over the years, Davies’ display against Woking this season was right up there.
I honestly think Davies couldn’t play West Cheshire league. That would be too high standard for him.

That first half was as bad a 45 minutes performance I had witnessed in my 35 plus years of watching the blues.

McCarthy really is the gift that keeps on giving. What's incredible is that by and large we were optimistic preseason, pretty much forgot about how bad the previous few months had been, and rubbished the bookies and pundits tipping us to go down. Hard to understand how we didn't see this season of struggle coming, in hindsight.

Hard to understand how we didn't see this season of struggle coming, in hindsight. As football fans we are plagued by pre-season optimism and post-season hindsight. Optimism disappears after about 45 minutes to be replaced by hindsight normally. i.e. the season is over by half-time of the first match.
