FAO Board:
If McCarthy isn't removed by tomorrow then I'll be beyond shocked. Do it at all costs for the sake of this club. There IS someone out there (not sure who but there will be someone) available who WILL do a better job and also affordable to hire and pay. We can't be kidded here... Until then it's a full home and away boycott from me, and I'd expect many to follow suit.. It's so blatantly obvious the club will do better off the pitch financially and also on the pitch with a competent manager to employ effective tactics and also increased attendance's respectively. ACT NOW and stop prancing around for goodness sake.. This is a FAN owned club right??? Well start listening to the FANS then.. McCarthy OUT.

Perhaps a direct message to the board may move things along, or at least get you a response. Don't expect that you will get a reply on here!! The chairman's email address is I believe jonny.hughes@chesterfc.com

I've just got the feeling that the powers that be are thinking:
"All a bit of a storm in a teacup, don't worry it'll all blow over in a couple of days"
Going by the strength of feeling on here and the number of threads, I'm pretty sure this will not be the case!

It was the same after the Boreham Wood game last year, when he should have been removed. Maguire couldn't get out quick enough for a post-match interview, where he looked positively shocked that people were questioning the manager's position. There just seems to be a lack of empathy and understanding at boardroom level with the average paying fan. |

Whilst I'm all for the removal of what/who is quite obviously the problem I just don't get all this boycott nonsense. The football is shit, yes, but it's rarely been la liga has it. I don't like to tell working folk what to do with their money but this is our club and our team. Let's face it, a lot of us got sucked in this summer along with the board. Again! I would be absolutely shocked if there hasn't been a few texts at the very least flying around the powers that be today and I imagine there's talk of getting rid but as a fan owned club there can be no knee jerk reactions.

I think people are wrong to assume the board think everything's hunky dory. I'm sure they know as well as we do that a change is needed, but they have to be careful with what they say and they also have to assess what it means in terms of the club's finances. I'm not saying they get it all right but some people do have an unnecessarily harsh and distant attitude towards them I think.

Sent again not expecting miracles Does anyone actually trust this board to get it right? There are many on the board who thought the two year extension to McCarthy was a great idea, and now haven't the bottle to admit their error. According to some on here many board members love prancing around in their suits. Narcissistic or what? |

These complaints about 'suits' seem very childish. Very few criticised the decision to extend McCarthy's contract at the time. I still think it was probably the right decision to do so there and then, as we don't want a managerial revolving door, but things have obviously gone very wrong since and now it's down to the board to address it. |

Your comment about prancing around in suits is just silly. The Sutton directors had their suits on in respect to our club . It works both ways. Many, including myself were delighted when the contract extension was agreed. Stand for election yourself, give up loads of time and have a go at such decision making with a turnover of over a million pounds. It takes bottle to do the job, whilst you choose to describe our representatives who are doing their best as narcissistic. |

I'm sure you can read Richard, but on this occasion you have failed to read properly. Try again and you will see the phrase "According to some on here...", so please do not attribute the comments to me. As regards your pathetic statement that I should stand for election, get a grip and grow up. You'll be claiming the general electorate have no right to vote in a general election next, unless they stand for parliament. No wonder gates are falling as long as you and fellow fans condemn free speech in such a manner. Keep your faith in McCarthy and leave when he does! I turn up to watch the match in all weathers, but never wearing a suit. Extremely outdated mode of dress that many people feel enhances their status, in my opinion. Ferguson wore a suit, Morhino didn't- So what? You are certainly not better than me if you wear a suit. For what it's worth I felt from day one that McCarthy being upped to Burr's assistant was wrong. A couple of years down the road it seems I'm right and you are wrong. |

You may not have produced the words but you are clearly in agreement with the sentiment. Why use the example of two football managers when comparing the wearing of suits? We are talking about our elected directors representing our business. Hindsight is a great thing fella and if Jon leaves you will no doubt feel proud of yourself. I'm not going anywhere, so I will be still going to watch my team while regrettably you will not until you decide that your boycott is over. Reference the election comments, ok then don't stand, but for heaven's sake, show some respect for those who have. Outside of the managers position issue, there are some great, positive things going on. Everyone I deal with at the club works really hard for all of us. If you hurt, they do for sure. |

There just seems to be a lack of empathy and understanding at boardroom level with the average paying fan. I've been battling with the idea of when we should get rid but ultimately after the last eight months we'd just be delaying the inevitable if we didn't act as soon as possible. This negative defensive system we've witnessed for most of 2017 has been WORSE already this season, and I can't see it changing. Talks of boycotting are so extreme it's ridiculous though. We've had it far worse as a club. On your last like quoted above, I'm afraid that's been the case for some time. Perhaps the need for a CFU member to call an EGM and propose a motion of sacking the manager should be taken? It could be the best-attended meeting for seven years. |

Who owns this club the Board or the Fans ? they are our elected representatives and they have to listen, things are not right and they need to address that.
His post match interview he is like a rabbit in the head lights and I recon he knows his days are numbered Please JM do the decent thing and go.
It really is sad to watch as a responsible Fan owned club we need to put him out of his misserey.

Only just seen that and I can sum it up in one word, 'deluded'.
Around 2' 55" he says, 'plenty of points in this team to come'. We're on course for a season of about 30 points from what I've seen so far (if we're lucky). Certs for 24th in league if nothing changes.

Anyone got a clue what objectives the board have given McCarthy for this season? Sounds like they have no ambition. Haven't seen any direction since Steve Ashton left. It's probably the mind set of "It's the taking part that counts" Thankfully I'm in work so can save money and the pain of watching us park the bus until Mac leaves. |

I was thinking something similar, McCarthy has been quoted somewhere saying that 1.1 points a game is enough. Sounds like he has been told to keep us in the league doing the bare minimum. Mark maguire for all his criticism has done his job getting sponsor after sponsor and also doing well holding out for more cash on the Sam Hughes deal, but if this is the best we can afford then God help us. |

I agree with that, off the field things have been going smoothly and it's nice to see deals coming into fruition however the actions on the field need to be addressed before the low crowds get even lower. It's a good Job were playing Macc next as with a decent following we'll do well to hit over 1,600. With is being a "Cheshire Derby" bank holiday really we should be hitting 2,700-3,000. The board surely need to see that this is alarming especially as we're still in August! |

I would put money on the Board sacking McCarthy during the season - so before it's too late, why not do it now so a new manager has time to get us out of the bloody mess McCarthy has got us into.

OK for season ticket holders but otherwise we are destroying our own club by boycotting. I know it's painful, but better to go and make your feelings known at the match or write to the club expressing your views. |

Why don't you see it as the board refusing to see what the fans want as destroying the club? Either way, keep McCarthy and the club are in the shit, or lose fans and be in the shit. ...and it's a fan owned club after all. |

I think many are forgetting that the many members on the current board are those that also sacked Steve Burr, despite many suggesting they didn't have the bollocks too. Many are also talking about potentially sacking somebody with a contract; a legal document that would cost the club money and if not done correctly, possible legal action.
Do I think things are going well? No I don't, in fact I am gutted it is seemingly no happening for Jon, because he is a genuinely nice guy who gets what this club is about. He has brought a lot of good to Chester through his previous work on the Community Trust and the relationship developed in bringing the players closer to supporters. I know most of the board very well and some of the accusations being thrown at them is nothing short of liable. I get the frustrations, I feel it myself at the moment, but Christ, some people need to just read over what they are typing before pressing reply.
Imagine every member of the board stood down tomorrow. Easy to say they should do this and that until there is a scenario when there is nobody there to do what we want. Criticism is fine, but it also needs to be constructive.

We keep mccarthy and we get relegated simple as,but I think some on the board want relegation, local games and bigger gates |
