Very much deserved. 10 professionals in three years, one player moving to a premiership club and one to a football league club, the stats speak for themselves.
I do think there are many volunteers who also deserve credit though and Calum himself has said the same.
Long may it continue.

According to DP the term remains confidential. Why on earth would length of contract need to be confidential?? The board seem to be turning into a Freemasons Lodge with all these Confidentiality agreements, NDAs, Undisclosed fees etc. Other than that great news

Why would we need to know makes no difference to us and as long as he is happy with the deal that’s all that matters,also if it got out that it’s a 3 year deal a rival may step in with an offer of 5 years, better to keep them in the dark. |

Maybe so that it doesn't alert other clubs to when the contract is due to end. We'll probably lose him sometime, no need to make things easier. Most clubs seem to request non disclosure of transfer / contract details. If we insisted on releasing everything publicly clubs would be less inclined to do business with us. We need to be professional. |

does seem strange why length of contract is a secret we all know the new managers are on 2 year contracts and that from now on players will only be on 12 month deals.if another club wants to poach CM in the future they will find out his length of contract to try and agree compensation so why are the fans(the owners of the club)
being kept in the dark on the issue?
if we were asking what his salary is that is a different matter of course but contract length is different unless of course swetenhams are paying his salary and they have asked for it not to be disclosed

We can't have structure and discipline and players who look like they give a toss, otherwise why would we have hired the three most recently departed managers 😀 |

Surely he is a straight forward employee, that is what it was originally discussed as so no fixed term contract as with playing staff and first team managers? not really that bothered about the details as long as we can afford it and he wants to stay with the current academy and youth coaches - great team effort

I have no doubt of calum`s ability but lets not forget the volunteer coach staff behind him , yes he is the figure head but he is not one man on his own .

He isn't the messiah or whatever, youth team coaches while can develope talent can't turn chicken s*it into chicken soup. Sam Hughes would still have been a good player if we had a worse coach than Calum and i'm not convince Crawford is football league level. But glad he is staying anyway as we need consistency in that type of role. |

But glad he is staying anyway as we need consistency in that type of role. Sorry. If you had coached at any kind of decent level, you would know that is absolute bollocks. I have seen technically excellent coaches, who were crap at man management etc. You need to get players to actually want to play for you and Calum ticks most boxes. And Crawford will play at a decent football league level. Why? Just look at the lads first touch. He makes so much time for himself on the ball. When Shankly was signing players. He always asked 2 questions?. Whats his first touch like and can he pass it 5-10 yards in a straight line? Sounds simple? Just look at some of last years players. James Dawson to know this is not always the case. Lol. |

Anyone who could possibly find any way to degrade him or his achievments is either not a real supporter of this club or is a WUM looking for a reaction like this. Well Done Calum on behalf of I assume 100% of Chester FC fans. Keep up your good work you have had an amazing few seasons last year was the pinacle. The youth is the future of OUR club.
Our City, Our Community, Our Club.

It's mad thinking about it, If we didn't have callum we potentially wouldn't even have a club with how much money the players he's brought up have made us, should go into the hall of fame imo

Guy is a total legend. Completely agree with poster above regarding hall of fame, and is the single best bit of news this club has had since reformation. Very happy here today in ivawhopper land.

Nobody deserves that award more than Calum. The amount of hard work he put in last season with our youth team, scholars and even our first team deserved that type of recognition with us winning an incredible 5 trophies. Long may it continue! Congratulations Calum! 🏆

Whilst he is good at what he does, and appears to be a nice bloke, nonetheless he is a product of Chester FC, not the other way round. It is commendable that he is held in high regard by many people, but I do feel a sense of reality is needed by some. Maybe Sam Hughes and co. brought the best out of him rather than the other way round. I’m just appreciative that he is good at his job, without getting carried away.

Love the people criticising Callum and his achievements, on here, who have probably never managed a team or coached players, at any level.
Go get a few coaching badges and a UEFA B and try it and see how easy it is for yourselves. Lol

I don’t think anyone is criticising him. There are a few trying to downplay his achievements a bit though, which seems like arguing for the hell of it as his record speaks for itself.

Go get a few coaching badges and a UEFA B and try it and see how easy it is for yourselves. Lol I’ve looked through the comments on this thread again, and can’t see any comments that could be construed as criticism. There are certainly some people who don’t automatically assume he simply turns sows ears into silk purses. He may well get the best out of lots of players, or indeed vice versa, and he may well be good at his job, but some people failing to accept him as the new messiah doesn’t constitute criticism. As for your last sentence, don’t be so childish. P.S. Only one “l” in Calum, and I noticed that without holding a UEFA B badge. |
