I saw Gary Brabin play for Southport not so very long ago. He's as wide as he is tall these days, but he was still able to command the midfield that evening against top of the table Accrington. Would love to see both Ken and him at the club, but imagine wages would be a problem - probably end up at Chester.
Anybody must be mad to manage Chester.

Heard a reliable rumour (if there is such a thing) down at the local whilst out with Mrs S that Chester may well be going into admin as soon as (or if) they are free from relegation worries.
The general concensus though was that it's very unlikely that they'll finish 11 points better off than the bottom two so they may be left in a bit of a quandry.
Thinking back to them trying to get the wage bill down recently and trying to offload Kevin Ellison to Stockport (easily their best player IMO) as he's on the highest wage at the club, there might well be something in it.
You heard it here first (Ithink!)
That rumour has been hanging around Chester since January.

That's as maybe, Cestrian, but don't forget we're out in the 'sticks' here in Saughall!  ;)

I know. I didn't realise how far until I reffed in Saughall.
Just browsing on Devachat. Chester seem to be overdue in handing in their accounts. This looks like another club in serious trouble of going under.

I'd love to be playing them in league games next year - the wind-up possibilities in the local when myself and Mrs S bowl in with smug looks on our faces after Alty have just beaten them are just too tasty to think about!
