As stated earlier in the thread a lot of people have stuck there necks out for this deal Gary wants it to happen and cannot wait for Monday if things don't go well on the pitch don't make him the scapegoat there are other players out there who have not been arsed all season lets support him and see if he offers anything better If things don't go well on the pitch he's as open to criticism as anyone else. That doesn't mean scapegoating, but criticism, nobody should be void of.

I really have my worries about this and hope he will be on none contract terms and a pay per play deal, I have nothing against the lad and do hope he is trying to turn things around but his history is very worrying. I have never heard of a player approaching a manager and asking him to speak with him if the rumours are true but suspect in this case that maybe the truth, for me a none contract deal (pay per play) and see how he shapes up. If MB has any worries and feels he is a bad influence in the dressing room then get rid no ifs buts or maybes get rid end off.

I don't know Gary, but I'm aware of his history like most of us on here. Let's hope this is a success for us and him.
It may give him a lift and help him get a new start. I suspect well get as few good performances, assuming he's fit, before it goes wrong. Maybe his friends will help him to keep in one piece.
It's really good giving people another chance in life. We all need them at times. However, for every chance one person gets, that is a chance someone else won't get. Every time he has messed up in the past, someone else didn't have that chance.
Gary needs to show this chance isn't just another opportunity someone else didn't get. Let's really hope he does. Realistically what are the odds that he will?

Must admit to knowing nothing about the lad but his past is a little worrying.
However, surely MB and whoever are aware of this and feel he can be managed otherwise it really smacks of desperation. Drowning man clutching at straws and all that.
So, I tend to lean towards giving him a chance with the proviso that the slightest misdemeanor means he's shown the door. I'm also concerned as to the effect he may have in the dressing room, then again, a volatile character maybe just what's needed.
Time will tell

Time will tell I don't get the impression it's a tight dressing room anyway. Someone ruffling some feathers might be a good thing! I'm all for giving him a chance. He is a Chester lad desperate to play for us. He had made mistakes in the past but as long as it's a month to month deal then it's low risk. We are a community club so should be open to giving him a chance.

We are a community club so should be open to giving him a chance. If nothing else, a four page thread suggests that Gary has provoked interest - albeit mixed. Agree with the words of Big Si, and I strongly come down in the "Give him a chance camp". The majority are questioning how Gary will handle the situation, but rather than put the lad under a microscope, surely the key point is how the club will handle it. Not having a tight dressing room (if true) could go either way, as there may well be a few (with ruffled feathers) who would like to see Gary fail. Let's hope that he is given a fair chance, he takes it, and is given help and support from fans and club alike. COYB and Good Luck Gary.

At this moment in time this club needs a winner and someone that will stamp himself on the game. I couldn't give a toss if he spends his wages in the bookies, it's his money his choice who tells you where to spend you wage. Great to have a local lad on board but he is not going to save the club on his own. The pile of steaming shite aound him have to take along hard look at themselves and put in a shift.

Don't expect miracles in his first match! Give him a few weeks to get fit. He's hasn't played football in over two month. But when he's there you will see if for sure I've played against him and to just watching his ball distribution is immense he can ping it from right back position into the strikers path with ease.. his switch of play is great too. All round we have a decent player on the books. He's 30 now growing up. He's working with the kids of blacon. Time to prove the doubters wrong eh. Once chance the lad needs and he will prove his worth

I know Gary and saw him play a few times. He’s got the talent and I hope he proves the doubters wrong. There are current squad members who haven’t done that yet.

When in the shirt he will get my full support. This won't end well though. Hasn't played anywhere near this level for many years and even in levels below hasn't looked a world beater. If this is where we are currently at we might as well close the youth section of the club.

If this is where we are currently at we might as well close the youth section of the club. He's been playing full back, not exactly going to be a world beater from there. Though, considering he's been full back he's scored and assisted a fair few, with some absolute worldies. As someone mentioned and has been highlighted by many previous manager's, his passing ability is second to none. Easily the best passer and striker of a ball I've played with. He's not going to come in and change our fortunes on his own but he'll have commitment and passion on the pitch. What he does off it as long as it doesn't affect the club or his playing ability, let him.

Something sadly lacking at times this season. But personally, and I've said it before, how many chances does one person need in life? Yes it's been done to death now and we all know the wrongs and regrets but mark my words, this will not end well. Good luck to the lad and he gets my support as long as he puts a shift in but this stinks the place out to me.

On the negative side:
He was according to the press coached in Malta by one S. Vaughan Jr. Give an a chance by Tony Adam's Sporting Chance-uncertain what the outcome was. Has been given a fair number of chances already Upsets people, players, managers at a number of clubs Unknown ability and fitness now
Positive side: Local and helping local kids
Suggest he is on a match basis contract probationary period.

The chances are that he won't turn up, but it's a final throw of the dice. I think we're doomed, but there may be an outside chance that we'll have something to get us excited if he does show up. We certainly need some excitement after the past 12 months. Are you sure?
