If Cal was from anywhere else would he be gone by now?

he does actually have a point we have not been good enough how much longer can we give him

Depends on what club it was and what their season ambitions was said numerous times he’ll no doubt do well in management he just ain’t the right man for us at the minute he’s a lot to learn

Of course he wouldn’t. The aim this season was playoffs and we’re right there with only 16 games gone, people need to chill out

But we can't score. How may Chester Nils have we had in the past 12 Calendar months?

Disagree, I think the fans are being just as brutal as they would any other manager. We're not even bottom half.

Absolutely agree with this. If he were from anywhere else in the country, there’s no way he’d still be in the job after the last 12 months. The results have been poor, the performances have been flat, and there’s no clear sign of improvement.

It feels like the connection to the club’s history and local ties has bought him far more time than he would’ve had otherwise. While loyalty is important, it can’t come at the expense of the club’s progress. If the board and fans really want what’s best for the club, tough decisions need to be made – sentimentality shouldn’t come before results.

The standards have to be higher than this.

Sounding a bit like Michael Owen there to be fair. If we’d have won the games we lost and drew, we’d be top of the league.

No, I'm pointing out that 2 late goals are the tiny thread our season is hanging by

There's no way that if he had zero playing career and was a youth coach at say Borehamwood and then managed a team in the southern leagues to the play offs and was given the Chester job when he was, that he'd still be in a job currently.

It's either emotional ties from the board or they don't want to admit their error and admit we've lost three seasons and a ton of money.

Nail on the head.

Forgive the intrusion. I am a Southport fan, but have always admired Chester as a good old-fashioned club with passion. You deserve so much better, and I can't understand why you have stuck with your manager. Maybe he is a really nice bloke, and perhaps he is a master tactician, and a magnificent motivator of players. These things, I do not know, but even as a neutral by-stander, I find his post match interviews truly cringe-worthy. He desperately needs classes in communication. He comes across as insincere, full of buzz words, cliches and false mannerisms. I've lost many sad hours, on YouTube, watching post-match interviews with random managers in the lower leagues, and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone as poor as him. Some are better than others, but the likes of Jono Greening at Scarborough, Steve Watson at Darlington, Jim Bentley at Southport, and Andy Preece at Chorley, are clearly a class apart from your chap. Now, I know that it's all about results, and where we finish at the end the season, but the ability to communicate in a believable manner is crucial, and your guy's inability to do this, even in the most basic way, is probably the front to a number of other deficiencies. I genuinely wish you well.........

Very true. He basically says it's on him and not the players as he thinks it's something he should say. The amount of times it's been on him and not the players he should have walked as he's saying to himself he's clearly not good enough. He's very arrogant and loves himself a bit too much

To me he was lucky to keep his job last season in February we were comfortable in 3rd then after a 1-1 with I think spennymore we didn't score in our last 6 home games and really didn't look like scoring ending the season 9th in the table now I gave him the benefit of the doubt but let's be fair it's a poor league and we are virtually the same position we finished in last season time will tell but to me the change should of been last season

Personally 12 would have been an unreasonable ask but I'm going for 2 home wins and draw the 2 aways . 7 points keeps it going for a while longer 6 or less it's then a no from me
