Get out of my club!
You are a disgrace. Done your job? Kept us up? No one knows how hard a job it was to keep us up?
You are a disgrace. The job was virtually done at Christmas, you have screwed us all over and ruined a promising season.
IF you don't resign tonight you are getting abuse next Saturday you useless spineless weasel

There comes a point where it goes beyond the clearly deluded Macca and you start seriously questioning the board. They endorse this nonsense by sticking with him.

His interviews are really one of his biggest weaknesses. He is very poor under question and comes across as thin-skinned and a bit deluded. It's patronising to call the supporters who want him out as a 'minority' and smacks of arrogance.
Steve Burr was arguably sacked for less, so our board have set themselves a precedent.
His position is now untenable. The club will really struggle to sell season tickets or muster any enthusiasm from the fans with him in charge.

I've said on other thread
HE'S NOT WALKING - he's met his season target
HE'S NOT GETTING SACKED - he's met his season target and WE CAN'T AFFORD IT.
He's here next season, honestly can't see why people getting so crazy about it, not worth venting your spleen for something YOU CANT CHANGE. He gets 3 months next season to show it was simply the players downing tools when we were safe

Iwelumo can do one too.

As he still has 2 years to run and the dismissal cannot be said to be based on poor performance given he achieved his target. Yes form is wank but contract target is avoid relegation.
So in new season can use poor performance and not as much left
Simple question, hopefully simple answer

Season ticket sales will plummet and if we give him the three months you talk about, we'll almost certainly be bottom of the table well adrift of safety. The decision to give him such a long contract was a mistake. We have to cut our loses and limit the long term damage of that decision. The board need to look beyond this season.

He keeps saying how the board asked him to keep Chester up and he's done it. I'm so glad we have a manager who is happy doing the minimum asked of him, real ambition for you right there to take this club places.
Regardless of his contract I am amazed he has not been sacked, probably the only board in the country who would have allowed this sort of form to stand, especially considering we were taking about play offs not long ago.
He needs to go, I really hope the board are just allowing him to see out the season and considering plan B for after next weekend. I don't see how talk of a "small budget" and "staying up" all summer, which we will undoubtably have to hear from this lunatic, will inspire the fans to return. We will be starting next year with sub 2000 crowds and dropping from there.

I think anyone expecting him to resign is being ridiculous to be honest. He's had a modest playing and coaching career and needs to work for a living like most of us. Nobody in their right mind would walk out of a managerial job where they have a two-month contract, however badly they were struggling at it.
Sadly though, I don't see him stopping this slide and don't think we can start next season with him here, so the club might as well act now and pay him off. It will give me no pleasure to see him lose his job and I do wonder what might have been if we'd kept Sharps or chosen a more suitable assistant to replace him than the invisible Iwelumo, but that was his choice and he needs to be judged by it.

So a smaller budget next season minus 2 years (or 18 months of agree a deal) of managers wages.
What players and what manager will come to Chester?
Season ticket sales will not plummet, but early form August - Sept will decide his fate.

I think that overall, with our small budget and a clearly limited playing staff that the initial aim to (at minimum) stay in the national league was fair, and we have achieved that. And yes fair play to Jon it might have been a challenging target. Yes I would also accept that these players got us to 52 points with a better goal difference than others as well. Fair enough.
My question to Jon McCarthy then would not be to explain how we have 52 points but to explain why since Christmas there has been an appalling run of form that has seen us lose 7 in a row at home, get utterly hammered at the likes of Maidstone and Sutton, lose numerous games in the dying seconds and nearly undo all the decent work done before Christmas. Why has the loan recruitment of players been so bad? Why has a solid defence gone to pot? Why dies the team look so clueless? He can hide behind the decent run all you want but if there were another 4 games to go this season we would be favourites to go down.

Season ticket sales will not plummet, but early form August - Sept will decide his fate. We shouldn't undersell ourselves. There are tons of people who would love to manage Chester. We're in the top 100 biggest clubs in the country, and managing a club of our standing is a proud job. Yes, it would be on a shoestring, but managers who can do well on a shoestring often go on to better things, as Danny Crowley is finding.

Are you happy to see us sink to the position we are in? To hear that post match interview? To fail to see a home victory in 2017? Are you? I respect the work that is being done off the field but all that work and hard work that is being done is being undermined by the pathetic performances (and excuses afterwards) on it. McCarthy thinks everything is OK though. We'Re safe so what's the problem? His complete lack of desire to push these players on to achieve more, the complete waste of a wage that Iwelumo (missing again today) is, the continued messing about with formations and tactics that continue to fail us. McCarthy has lost the plot, and I will not be returning if he continues to still be in a job after next weekend.

To be fair I don't give a damn what he says, that's my opinion and I will share it as that's how I feel tonight. I won't sit on my hands and pretend everything is rosy in the garden as I would be insulting people's intelligence and would not be true to myself either. McCarthy has to go

McCarthy has to go Tha sad thing is that McCarthy sounds like Alan Partridge in his aftermatch interviews , the difference being Coogan is a talented comedian, McCarthy believes the rubbish he spouts . The recent aftermatch interview with Turner summed him up as a totally bemused ballon, the board must now take action and put him and the club out of this unacceptable rubbish. All sections of the club, whether it be Jim Greens excellent work, Callum's reasonable efforts, or the whole ethos of the club will be diminished if this clown is retained as first team manager, at least suspend him for recent incompetence, which is acceptable in current employment law .

The interesting thing is throughout the bad run he keeps saying don't blame the players blame me, then when a reporter challenges him he throws a wobbler.
Genuinely think he's a decent manager if he goes back to basics and gets a hard man assistant to counter his nice guy (like sharps was)

ExactLyn, a true supporter. I must be mad but I will also renew my season ticket, for the good of the club I support. Having said that, as a paying customer, if performance falls well below an acceptable standard I have every right to complain and make my feelings known to the management. For the last 4 months performance has been abysmal, with senior management and staff changes now urgently required to improve the customer experience.

He is an honourable man but a leader, Jeremy Corbyn has a greater leadership profile , which is concerning. Joni's an honourable man, but never a leader, we now hear rumours of the some of the senior prod talking to other clubs , because as one said only last week " he is as weak as pxxx" which is so sad , even the current squad are treating him as something of a joke, which is so sad .
