I’m all for ambition but we need to be realistic in our demands and wishes. |

Graham Fenton ex villa and Blackburn striker. Doing a great job at South Shields but they may want a bit of compensation.
Andy Preece currently at Chorley as assistant manager.
But no doubt every suggestion made on here will be laughed at.

I’m all for ambition but we need to be realistic in our demands and wishes. I don’t really think any of them are unrealistic to be fair. Nobody saw Gary Johnson dropping all the way down to the National League South a few years ago but he did, and if he is sacked by Torquay then we should at least approach him. Obviously if he does stay in post there then we have no chance, but he has a proven track record of rebuilding clubs and would be a brilliant fit for us. Stranger things have happened, and as for Keith Curle I’ve already stated he could be costly, but never say never. Tim Flowers and Steve Watson however are definitely options that are more doable. |

I'd have said John Askey would have been worth a go, but looks as if he's gone to York with an eye on being appointed. Names like Curle are never going to happen and what has he done in the last 10 years anyhow?
One thing I don't want to see is a dinosaur turn up. I'm all for combative football but if somebody with a style like Andy Morrison or Billy Heath showed up, I think it'd be the death knell for our attendances.
I'm not convinced that Callum Mac is a bad shout at all. The job he's doing at Runcorn is excellent in a tough league and the youth sides always are extremely well drilled in the system. I see the arguments against, but I concur with the poster above who said that his trajectory is only going one way and it might be worth an attempt now.

Now..let’s think of a manager who’s doing very well in the lower leagues, who would know the best “young” up and coming talent and the experienced heads to bring up a division on a budget…experienced at winning promotions..and is well respected not just by our fans but the footballing community .. I think i may have just mentioned his name🧐

If Callum Mac wants the job now he will hopefully apply. He will know his own mind and whether he feels ready. |

The guy who to his credit, also oversaw their fantastic cup run which resulted in him being rewarded with a new contract which runs until the summer of 2024, together with it would seem, a healthy playing budget for that level, that guy? |

Rio mentioned Tim Flowers
I spoke with him during the summer
He would like to get back into management
I’m not sure if the commute from West Midlands would be an issue.
I know his thoughts are centred around having a big string physical side and making his team hard to beat .
He wasn’t working on a shoestring at Solihull moors so that might be an issue ?
As Others have said I’m not sure we could get Keith curle

Point taken about Curle not being likely, but he won the League 2 Play Offs last year, which is in the last 10 years. |

Think big, strong and tough to beat is what we need. |

Askey - reputation for getting the most out of a tight budget
Bern and Jonno - reputation for embracing the pressure of being title favourites with a healthy budget
Manager swap with York anyone?!
On a serious note, a few names we should be putting a word in for, before any ad goes out…
Keith Curle
Tim Flowers
Steve Davis
Anthony Limbrick
Steve Watson
Maybe even a chat with Ricketts or Keates, or even Wilkin…
John Askey would still be my favourite though. Maybe something to be done in the summer if Livesey sees the season out. Some unease in York with how Askey became manager, so perhaps a chance at the end of the season.

If we’re going left-field what about convincing a former Chester striker to leave his role as England U19s boss and get involved in the cut-throat world of day-to-day club management in non-league?
Ian Foster, anybody?

Think big, strong and tough to beat is what we need. Bern and Jonno’s talk in the media prior to this seasons recruitment was how in their Salford NLN title season, their final year recruitment was to make them big, strong and tough to beat too. They said this is where the squad would evolve to this season. You can sort of see it with the likes of Cowan and Stephenson. |

Three or four wins in the next half dozen matches could see us climb the league and be within touching distance of the playoffs. I don't think that this squad is as bad as the position currently suggests. At times, albeit too infrequently, they have played really good, exciting football. With luck, and we are due some, there maybe a positive reaction from the team. New Manager bounce etc, I would stick with Danny Livesey. Maybe the start of something special!
Or maybe not ;-)

McCarthy did. Disaster. Bern and Jonno have. Not going great. Calums assistant at Runcorn is Colin Woodthorpe. 580 senior games. Worked with Dave Challinor at Fylde in the Conference as an assistant. This isn't some daft kid were talking about anymore. However much he's done for the club so far and however well he's performing at Runcorn, he's not the answer to our problems (at the moment); needs to prove himself for two/three seasons in senior football. It is a very big step up to a club our size, with the budget and expectations we have. Who knows how it would go. He is an exciting coach and motivator. We had the experienced managers before and most were pants. Try something new. The lad who put Curzon together on a shoestring budget would be 1st choice. Then Callum. As he is one of our own. |

If Livesey does well they will give it him until the end of the season. Like I said though watch the team start playing better football now. Was purely down to the managers they were clueless. I said on here last night that we should give Livesey a chance. I think he’s type of player and character who can make the transition. It would be a different approach to what we’re used to, but I’m sure he is well respected and will have lots of contacts. It will be interesting to see what team he puts out on Saturday though and how the players react. Hopefully we won’t see a team feeling sorry for themselves and he gets a positive reaction. |

The only worry I have is the board though excellent in lots of ways are not football people and will probably either have there own preference as we all do or they will be persuaded by an agent in to committing to the wrong man.
An ex manager who I know well says that the problem with us is we have no football person on the board.
It’s not really about who we get at this stage, the questions we need to ask as owners is how is the decision made and by who.
We made a mistake by not kicking Neil upstairs when he left after our most successful run ever.
My own opinion for what it’s worth should have skills to work with our budget which will only grow smaller after this season and can produce hard working teams. As chester fans we don’t expect to win all the time but we appreciate hard working teams that try and give us their best.
