View Full Version : Jacksons not got the Chester job
So pull your finger out JR - stop dreaming the Stuart Mcall Dream and get him in for an interview this week.
League Two side Chester have appointed Bobby Williamson as their new manager to replace Mark Wright, who was sacked last month.
It will be the first job for the 46-year-old Scot since he left Plymouth in September 2005.
Williamson has also managed Kilmarnock and Hibernian and recently he has been working with the Scotland B team. He had also been linked with the managerial vacancy at Scottish First Division side Livingston.

Jacksons probably the one that JR mentioned when he said he had someone else to interview

Good lets stop messing about and give him the job.
Feel sorry for Mcall - all this stuff in the T&A about how we need him and if he does not come we are sunk, the Chairman effectively begging him in the press. Why not get down to Bramall Lane and threaten to commit suicide outside the gate if he won't come home.
Jackson took Town up with basically the same resources we have now, 7 contacted players and the Youth side. He is ex City, a proven manager, out of a job,and lives locally - Just get on with it.

Towns academy puts the youth set up at VP to shame though so he wouldn't have as much to work with.
Also as has been said by other posters, he was never quite the same after Yorath left.
Not saying i wouldn't offer him the job though but he would find it a hell of a lot harder than he did at the TB's
I wont get a season ticket with him in charge and its nowt to do with the fact he is ex huddscum.He has slagged this club off numerous times and when he was an agent he deliberately tried holding the club to ransom over lewis(then a promising player) knowing we needed him and had no money.
Also about 2 months ago he played golf with my uncle and told him he never wanted anything to do with our club saying they we werent big enough for him. He is a proper tosspot

Thats a pretty self-inflated ego the man has if thats true, he's not exactly a Wenger or Ferguson is he?

Find that a bit odd, why would he say that when he has been linked with Chester? They are barely a real football club. Also his performances as a centre half and the work done for this club by him and all the squad of the 3rd Div Champ side are enough for me. And why has he been sat in the stands if he is not interested, I hope he gets it - or we WILL end up with Wetherall.

He would have been linked to chester due to the fact he was manager there before and look what wethers has done as a centre half and see what sort of manager he is for us.He explained that he was sat in the stands as the sponsors had invited him and he wasnt interested in the job.Im sure most people who are after A job say that so they dont get overlooked for others.....maybe the Toon job ...lroflmao:

Well for me it will be him or Wetherall - so take your pick. If he has an ego then he has an ego, not really bothered if he can sort this club out, you know Jose Mourinho - he seems like a down to earth kind of guy.

Mourinhos ego is backed up by silverware at the highest level, not Chester & HuddersTown!!!:eek:

I dont like the way his teams play football and they seem to be on step off putting boxing gloves on. Conceding a freekick is like a tactic to his team.
I thought i had heard (maybe on soccer night) that he was definatley not interested and as i have posted before i heard he was hoping for the l##ds jobs if/when Dennis Wise leaves.

I would like someone like Mike Newell but JR would absolutely cack himself at the thought of the maverick Newell being manager.
I'm really not sure about Jacko for reasons stated in above posts

I'll think seriously too about ST with him at the helm. His man management skills and if the TBs fans are anything to go by his tatical skills seem a little wantin - a little Toddesque - not wanting pace or wide men. He seemed to loose it after Yorath went - which indicates he needs a good coach assitant by his side - can we afford that? In addition he did not appaer to be able to attract players to the galpharm - last Jan he struggled and was one of his failings in his previous spell at the TBs when in what is the championship now.
We need a breath of fresh air in charge - some one with a more postive approach - since Nicky Law apart fron the odd game we have been bored to death - at VP.
