I'll give it 6 months before he'll leave. More than likely just holding Rickets' hand as he's inexperienced. Saying that another ex Blue joins their ranks. have to say Chester City never died they're Just playing in Red now.

im not sure why alot of posters on here have got this fascination with GB. true when he was with us he did a fantastic job but time moves on and so do people/clubs we dont know if he has applied for the managers at chester recently but if the answer is yes and he was turned down (for whatever reason ) you cant blame him for looking for a post elsewhere we move on ,new excellent management team in position lets look forward and leave the past as history(as good as GBs time here was good )

Not looking for aggro, is this a genuine belief?

Agent Barrow nicely in position to ensure Wrexham bottle their promotion push once again... Things really are looking up for CFC.

And with that long awaiting signing yesterday and considering the money that is now thrown around in that League (Salford and Fylde) you'll struggle. I don't understand as you've made a profit but I can see the fans are getting impatient.

Gutted to hear this.
That’s a great appointment for them, he’s got shed loads of experience and a huge knowledge of the lower leagues. Sounds like he only went there due to his close relationship with Ricketts.
Can’t help but think we missed a trick here.

We had the chance to get Barrow 2, 3 time over, it never worked out. best leaving the past in the past.

Not for me I think we have the right appointments for the league and position we are in re going back to part time, I wish Graham well as someone else said he has a mortgage to pay So no bad feelings on my part.

Just a "Probably" and an assumption that as we've been slow making signings we're doomed. You could post on RP you'd fit in well with a lot on there!

But Unfortunately most of that lot expect Salah to be signing. Odd bunch!

You know I'm an argumentative buggar sometimes, but unfortunately, I can't disagree with you at the moment. Digging into both manager and new player before they've even had a chance to prove themselves. I admit it's embarrassing. I don't post there anymore (but do pop in for the odd read)

Should have really pushed for Oswell. That stadium weighing the Club down?

Should have really pushed for Oswell. That stadium weighing the Club down? Oswell wanted league football. Can't blame him. I'm not just saying it but quietly optimistic about new signing. Coming into the game late but that's because he's been studying for a degree. Big lad, fast, direct. Scoring rate not brilliant but not bad (goals per minute gives a 16 goal turnover in a full 46 game season). With full time coaching he might be worthwhile. We need more in obviously, but it really could be a case that the targets have more than one option open to them. That's the problem though, nothing yet doesn't mean nothing WILL happen. We could be in talks but don't want to publicise anything in case it falls through. But then not going to the press just opens you up to attack. Can't win! Oh to be an internet-age manager!

The bloke has to work. It doesn’t seem right him being there but let’s be honest, CFC has treated him pretty badly on several occasions.
Can’t wish him good luck, but hopefully he’ll move on to something better soon.

I suppose it depends on how many times he has been married I worked with a lad who was in his 70 s but he couldn’t retire because he was on wife number4😀

I can see GB as manager of the Goats (or should that be Chief Herdsman) by Christmas; for the life of me, I can’t see the current holder of the crook lasting longer than mid December. 🐐

Too many idiots at the club made sure of that, and several are still there. I see that Richard’s great review has come to nothing, so no surprise there then. Im very relieved that the club is full of positives at present, but remain of the opinion that the bad things are dormant rather than extinguished.

I can't lie it feels like a part of my childhood has died today. Always held Barrow in the highest regard and was hoping for that he would be the man who led us back into the Football League before heading off into the sunset.
Never thought he would go to Wrexham although when I saw Sammy Lee in an Everton top dancing around when they scored against Liverpool I thought anything is possible when it comes to the modern game and money. However, there was a strong rumour that Marvellous Maguire treated him with absolute contempt in the interview process last year and you can't help but wonder whether that was a factor.
It's obvious that lot have got Barrow in because Ricketts hasn't got a clue about the Kent and District Vanarama Conference. In a few months Ricketts is the name will be back to dealing with horses and Wrexham will be hailing their new messiah of either Craig Bellamy or the Afghan Hound off the T.V.

Had every chance to come to Chester. Didn't fancy it.
Would I have Ricketts and Barrow instead of Johnson and Morley? Currently probably not, but I guess time will tell. The way we've gone about our business has been professional and almost surgical.
Draw a line, move on, sincerely hope they are both on the dole by Christmas.
