Chesterfield

[Branton Rover]

On the brink of relegation from the football league & without a manager as Jack Lester leaves.

I well remember when we got relegated from the league they had little sympathy for us - so I’m not going to shed any tears for them & their current predicament

[RoversAlias]

When they beat us 4-0 in pre-season they thought they were ace, said they were gonna walk the league since they thrashed us. They neglected to notice we had half our youth team out for the second half and were playing with ten men after Alfie May got sent off with half the game still to play.

Might be a while before we see them again as well, aren't they out of cash?

Is the owner still struggling to get shut of the club? could spell their demise, this...

[silent majority]

Dave Allen stepped down from the board a couple of years ago and stopped putting in any cash. They've been on the slide ever since. He nearly had a buyer a few months ago, not sure why it didn't go through.

Heard they have players on £6k/week so it was going to end in tears

firstly i want to make the point that since the man with no managerial experience has left the club by whatever conduit

his cv will not say that he got the club relegated  - so called "cult" hero !!!!   

i did a rightful assassination job on this team a while ago

November 2016 to be exact on this thread -- I highlighted the greed over their NON SALE of player Gboly Ariyibi and turning down £800,000 then a short while later saying they needed £200,000 to survive AND THEN SELLING HIM FOR A PITTANCE when allegedly he "downed tools"

Funny how one Chester leaves the division and we get Chester(in a playing)field replacing them

Whilst I agree with most of what you wrote ,Jack Muldoon only made 25 appearances last season scoring 3 goals, a good mate of mine who supports the Imps said at times he looked out of his depth,nothing against the player. In fact I’ve got a member of my family involved at a very high level elsewhere in the non league circles that says he is a cracking lad who always gives 100%

Dean Keates,born in Walsall,supports Walsall ,played over 200 matches combined over two periods for Walsall,gets chance to manage Walsall ,no brainer really

They were not too long ago called Cheaterfield for alleged corruption by a former owner, karma has arrived!

   They had a director on raidio Sheff the other night who said Allen was still funding the 200k monthly shortfall every month..So he his still putting money in...I know how you like thinks to be correct in posts mate ;-)

[les@donr]
