From the names being bandied about I guess we all have a few who we would strongly prefer not to be appointed, some we are neutral about and others who would be on our own personal short list. For me Morrell and Edinburgh top my list, but would feel that Reid and Moore, for different reasons, would not be good fits.

I'm not keen on any of those four, I'd really like Holden or Barrow & I wouldn't mind Bignot.

Of all the candidates Bignot seems head and shoulders above the rest.
Just not Harvey or Moore.

A Chesterfield reporter for the Derbyshire Times tweeted:
"Graham Barrow's name, unsurprisingly, being linked with the Chester job. Fans there seem to be favouring him."
"I'm told Gary Caldwell is adamant that there is absolutely no way Barrow is interested in the job."

Get Gary Brabin in. There's no doubt about it, some of these players are taking the piss and he's just the type of bloke that would get them playing. Mahon for me needs a rocket...Astles needs telling how good he could be if he ate less pies and the same applies to Lynch. They've had the gently gently, great team spirit speech, my lads this, my lads that. If a big bastard like brabin tells you to do something then you do it. The players need to share the blame for this mess and this guy will get things moving. We aren't a play off team as we lack any sort of pace but we should be bullying some of the junk in this league. Brabin for me.

Brabin for me. Brabin's managerial record has been in decline since his first job at Southport - he had an awful end at Tranmere, getting similar crowd treatment than McCarthy. He wouldn't be anywhere near my list. |

Has to be Bignot for me. From my top three of Barrow, Bignot and Askey; Bignot will definitely be the easiest to get, with no compensation either.

Anyone know what the odds are for Chris Piercy getting the job? I think he might just get the gig. |

I was impressed by the Salisbury manager before they went out of business. Had developed a top team who made us look like amateurs. I recall his presence and influence on the sidelines with his players. Showed Burgh up. Uncertain what happened to him. Think he became a coach but certainly did v well with Salisbury. Barrow would be good BUT doesn't appear to be interested according to press report.

For me I'd ideally have Holden, he ticks every box I think. Barrow would certainly do but I'm not he'd want it, we could afford any compensation & I'd worry that he could tarnish his reputation. God knows we've few enough heroes as it is! I think we'll end up with Bignot which is a perfectly reasonable appointment IMO.

I've got some pretty big boxes called National League experience and managerial experience, both of which he doesn't have bar 3 months at Flint. |

There is no way the Board will take a chance on someone inexperienced, no matter how many badges he has. |

I think he might just get the gig. I would love Barrow but i dont think he would come. Brabin has got a decent conference record compared to the others, he's took several teams to the playoffs southport, cambridge & luton and just missed out with tranmere. He was manager of the month when sacked by tranmere. He was unlucky to get sacked at tranmere, a victim of their inpatience to get promoted and look where that got them, just a few places above us! I'm not sure how he would get on on a limited budget but I wouldnt mind if he came in, sets up the tranmere away game nicely. I would love it if he came in and we went on to win at prenton park. |

BREAKING: Barrow owner appears to have ruled out Marcus Bignot as their potential new manager. Was 99% sure this would happen but now it's been made public, we HAVE to go for him. If this is the case then we need to approach him. No fucking about with applications. Go out and get who we need. Get Bignot in before Saturday, 3 games of being managed by inexperienced managers before appointing a an experienced one is idiotic, we will be 9 points adrift before someone comes in. +1 agree |

Barrow, Askey, Bignot and Sharps are the only possibles I would consider. Failed ex Tranmere, or goats managers are a total no no. Looking objectively Askey is the best on that list, but is Macc through and through,and Macc would no doubt require compensation, so unlikely. Sharps would be a gamble due to inexpeience, but a popular gamble. That leaves Barrow or Bignot. Barrow would be my first choice, a Chester legend with a huge amount of experience and contacts. However, if he is not interested/available, Bignot would be a strong second best. Shaw is nowhere near ready to manage yet IMO.

Get Bignot in. Interested even whilst he's still at Barrow. Shows he wants it. Would be well suited to the club too imo.

If the board are so keen to "do things the proper way" then why was McCarthy allowed to give a job to Tom Shaw without following the appropriate protocol? Has the board decided to be whiter than white, opted for double standards, or elected to have a three week delay just for the sake of it? Surely no secret agenda in favour of anyone in particular. Sorry, but 2017 makes me very cynical.
The right man is out there, and will be in the stands on Saturday, and can start next Monday, so why the delay?

Askey would be my first if unlikely choice due to compensation issues, followed by Bignot and Andy Holden. No internal candidate or the likes of Ronnie Moore please!
