Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

I've not voted and won't vote as a poll on here means zilch.

I was one of the main posters on here going ape at them re-appointing him and his pal Davies....

But until the future of the club is sorted out we have no choice...

He's talks about players mentality! The tosser signed them he has no excuses he is out of his depth also so is his mates Darlington and Davies.

Fan's on here saying they are good players, they are non league journeymen for a reason, they lack ability.

This is the worst defence since being down here, OK We are missing Pearson, but Vassel up to now is very poor, kelleher started his first couple of games well but our coaches must of knocked it out of him, same with the rb hall Johnson he cannot defend, the left back is pretty steady.

Then we have a midfield who cannot keep possession, Harris is not the player he was Durrell puts in the effort but so does Rutherford, but both are not good enough, Thomas isn't upfront.

Soon as this takeover happens the better, if they are making a documentary they best put the present side on after the watershed at 9pm it's horrific to watch.

He can barely string a sentence together, at least Hughes could speak English to a decent standard.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

It's not worth sacking him now, adds an unnecessary complication to the takeover talks.

Focus should be on getting the deal done as soon as possible.

Then a new era can begin.

Absolutely incorrect. Get rid of the fools that are killing our club. Why keep on a buffoon and his two mates when a cardboard cut out can do better for free????

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

Could always go down the caretaker manager route, can't do any worse than the arse we have in charge at present.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

At one point stated or alleged that there was a minimum performance attainment clause in the contract.Surely given Keates record over 26/27 games is identical or worse to Bryan Hughes he does not meet minimum performance standards.

I totally agree, I will also not vote in a meaningless poll. Keates good club captain, no doubt a good pro, is not a manager. He should never have been brought in. Just get this takeover sorted so we can have a meaningful vote and move this club on.

One last thing, who are the 19 people currently saying give him more time. We have been in this dump for 12 years, have they no ambition or are the Chester fans having a joke.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

Sure its already been mentioned, get Pearson and Carrington to caretaker manager it through to the takeover being complete, then bring in the Cowleys or Alexander

A no-brainer surely.Urgency exacerbated with the FA Cup this weekend.

I want Keates and Co gone as do most but if the investment goes through there is bound to be a change in management that will come with it. Changing manager now will just be further money down the drain. We’re not at the stage that we need to panic and put a caretaker boss in charge either, with only 5 games played. I think we just have to be patient and put up with dross that’s served up for the next month or two and change will come.

There's that big word 'IF' again - at what point should things change ?
What if the Yanks don't turn up and pull out all together ?
How long should we suffer ?
It could be too late if we just keep hoping they will suddenly appear this week, next week the week after with wheelbarrows full of dollars.
Unfortunately it's not just Keates that need to go - we need a xxxxxxxx big broom to clear out the deadwood and there's lots of it - but unless we get a takeover I can't see anything concrete happening.
Can't see Spencer and co parting with Keates and his team at this current time.

Any change now would make things incredibly complicated and it would be another admission of failure and incompetence by the board (yet again) which IMHO they will not do.

If Keates did go the best we could hope for would be what Pearson/ Carrington with Davies and Darlington. Can't remember what contract Darlington is on now but anyone coming in to the current set up has to work with him so that will massively narrow any candidates wanting to come here.

The longer any deal takes to get sorted then the more damage is done by Keates. I wouldn't like this current mess to be rumbling on after the Xmas period as the consequences don't bare thinking about especially the prospect of Keates wasting more money on turd players.

However if we get to 10 games in and theres no improvement I wouldn't like to be on the board.

Ideal scenario is the deal goes through, film crews arrive and the first scene filmed is Keates, Darlington & Davies being escorted from the ground by security after being sacked.

Best scenario for me is Keates being dismissed by the current board at the request of the new owners who take over and appoint there own man.
If the new owners were to sack the manager then they would be on a hiding to nothing if their new appointee also failed to deliver.

Agree. Keates et al are the current Board’s problem. Their sacking should be their responsibility.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

This poll says it all. Keates has lost the fans, probably before the season even started in fairness.

If we are honest he didn’t really have them when he came back.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

The new board will make the decision regarding the team managers they want , if indeed the deal goes through.
They will already have somebody advising them here and will be aware of the current issues.
I cannot see any action being taken before the takeover.

Absolutely. This was never going to be a rekindling love. As soon as points were dropped the knives would be out. Only folk wrapped up in their own bubble would think otherwise. A very naive decision from all involved, although we should be thankful, it's played a massive part in getting our club back.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

I was one of the few willing to give Keates the benefit of the doubt.

I understood why he left, I was willing to tolerate turgid football, providing we were hard to beat and the results come. Last season neither of these things happened but he needed to bring his own players in.....which he has done and we are awful.

yes, I suspect a majority of fans wanted him gone before the season started, his only hope was to rip the league apart from the off. Now its clear its the same old rubbish, there is no hesitation.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

Really shouldn't have been brought back in with his mate. A sham the way the interviews was done if any. And the rumour he was hanging around the club when Hughes was in charge really does make you wonder.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

The six points we've got so far, was a tight, and somewhat fortunate win against B Wood. And that first half win at Yeovil, in w
which Yeovil were dire. Then clinging on for dear life second half.
We could quite easy be on just a pont or two out of a possible fifteen.
Take into account last seasons narrow escape from relegation, and the evidence so far this season he would hardly be surprised if he got the sack at any other Football Club

But this is Wrexham FC.. Where things are very different.

Re: Sack Keates & Co Poll
 

The club got a couple of senior players (Pearson and Carra I think). To do interviews with the local comic, The Leader, to try and instigate a smoother path for DKs reemployment. Spencer knew this would not go down well but gave the job to his pal nonetheless.

Yep there was definitely a concerted effort from within the club to attempt to soften the blow.

This was makes me laugh about this unprofessional bunch of amateurs, they try this sort of softness and think the fan base can’t see through it. They treat the fan base with contempt, they think the fan base is beneath them when in fact they show themselves as being pretty thick.

This is so true but don't just pin it on Spencer.

The board(s) knew this would piss off a significant percentage of the fan base but went ahead anyway.

Errr yes he did. He employed his mate again and asked Dixie to ratify it to further pull wool over fans eyes. It’s beyond ludicrous and I even think you know that pal.

I’d agree to this extent but on the flip side he appears to be the only one who sticks his head above the parapet. The only time you’d hear Pete Jones speaking would be from behind his pint glass at WST meeting. I’d struggle to recognise any of either of the current boards aside from Spencer due to their reluctance to speak out publicly.
