You already know from my previous post that I accomplished a miracle by bringing Chester to win League Two against all odds. The board is happy and the fans are too. I’m looking forward to the new season in League One, although it will be a very difficult one. But until then, let me entertain you with some facts and stats from the first season. First of all, something funny. I have a 36 year [Read more]

The people were very enthusiastic after the MK Dons victory. I really don’t know what [Read more]
After some thinking I chose to manage Chester City, a small team in Coca Cola League 2. As far as I know their highest season was in Championship, but that only lasted for a year back in the 90′s. Their nickname is “The Blues”, like Chelsea, but Chester are poor and struggling. I hope to bring them to the Premier League.
