Chester FC have turned down an approach from a club in a higher division to speak to manager Calum McIntyre over a vacant post.
McIntyre, who penned a new deal until 2026 last summer, not interested in speaking to interested party and remains 100% focused on Blues task.

Apparently an EFL club but only rumours.
I'd have assumed Hartlepool - a bit of an SV-style knee-jerk in a sense that we knocked them out the Cup etc.

Salford would seem the most likely one if it is an EFL club, but not impossible that it could be Notts County with Luke Williams appearing to be going to Swansea. Calum’s background seems quite similar to his.

If Callum continues to build at Chester then approaches are inevitable. No club wants your manager if he is deemed to be unsuccessful. For now he stays with us but only as long as he wants. |

To reject the opportunity to speak to a club in a higher division is risky business - football management is so fickle.
It just proves what we already knew - Cal’s love for this club is genuine and not the generic hot air and platitudes you hear from managers and players. There will come a day when another club do turn his head, but this is a real statement of his intent for the foreseeable and it’s great to see.

Can’t really see it being an EFL club - Salford and Notts County would surely be looking for a bigger name, and while Colchester or Sutton could perhaps be possibilities, I’m not sure either would even be aware of Calum and his achievements. If it is Hartlepool that he’s turned down, good on him - and, dare I say, the correct decision. It can’t have been particularly easy to say no to a side in a higher division, especially seeing as you’d imagine they’d be offering him a lot more money than he’s on here, but they seem a bit of a basket case at the moment and it’s not outlandish to suggest we could even be swapping leagues with them come the end of the season. He’s obviously got full faith in his own ability to continue to do well with us, and knows that even more attractive offers will soon follow if he does. |

I'm quite surprised we've made this public. If the approach was rejected and both clubs have moved on, why did it need an announcement? Not having a go, I'm just curious.

I thought maybe Colchester if it were an EFL side. A bigger club than Salford but very much a mid-table L2 club in size and a long way from home. I certainly wouldn't be jumping ship for them. I'd bet my stake on Hartlepool though like the rest. They go through managers like I do hot dinners, so he's wise to stay clear.

He’s obviously got full faith in his own ability to continue to do well with us, and knows that even more attractive offers will soon follow if he does. Of course his friend Tom Crawford is still at Hartlepool too, think they are the likely club. As you say, bigger clubs will continue to come calling for him and I am sure the time will come where his head will be turned enough to make the move. Another post above says football management is fickle and its brave to reject the opportunity to go to a higher level but, whilst that is true, I think it is fair to say that whenever Calum does leave us it will be on his own terms. |

How can I put this in a nice way but I don't think he's ready yet he will be in time but if he has been linked with Hartlepool or Salford supposing he has a bad start could be like a Rooney situation at Birmingham plus for a lad it's a step up if he goes fair enough but I think he needs to stay to learn first

I'd doubt Salford personally. They're in real danger of losing their league status after all they've spent getting there, and likely have money to throw at improving the team. I expect them to go for a higher profile name with experience.

It will be Nicky Butt and Gary Neville making the decision. Almost everyone else they've appointed has had a United link. |

Cal has been coaching for a long time now I’d imagine the past few seasons have been a learning curve but you get the experience by doing the job, im sure he’d hold his own whichever league he was in |

Does he have the Pro Licence? I think that is the minimum requirement for EFL management position?. I think he just has the UEFA B licence. Colin Woodthorpe is doing his Pro Licence presently.

A piece of paper doesn't necessarily make a manager any good just as brilliant players don't always make the best managers. Some of the best managers never even played the game professionally. Man management, being able to motivate players and having some tactical nous are all more important than ticking boxes.
Wayne Rooney has got a Pro Licence. Hasn't he done well!

Is it definitely a manager’s job that the club in question wanted Calum for? Don’t think it was specified in Shane Pinnington’s tweet or the interview with Jim Green, just that it was for a ‘vacant post’. Logically it would be the manager’s job most likely at Hartlepool, but in theory it could be to head up the youth set-up at a club a few divisions higher up the ladder.

Think the point he was making was that “piece of paper” might be required for a Football League role, whether it makes you good or not. |
