If the job stays open long enough, it would suit Johnson and Morley when they're shown the door at Chester  ;D

Manager has departed.

Suddenly realised he's got better things to do on a Saturday.

Interesting on their facebook page they are analysing their drop in form and putting it down to money...questions finally being raised about things like shirt sponsorship stadium sponsorship if they want to compete at this level and concerns about fans drifting away to watch Salford instead.....as I predicted they are starting their implosion due to the very things they formed for.....

They will be losing sponsorship and support to Salford with their high profile Man U connection.

its too convenient for them to claim they are losing support to salford. they are just losing their support now the shine has gone off and its not all new and onwards and upwards anymore. its not as much fun when you're not winning every week.

As happened to Chester too.

I think Salford have hurt them to a degree, and they are certainly the non league United "brand" that have got the impetus right now. Commercially I don't think it has mattered that much though because the two clubs are chalk and cheese on ethos and ownership anyway.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, they haven't lost support to Salford. They have most definitely lost floating spectators to Salford, but not supporters. Supporters of FC United are completely against everything Salford City are about. Its much more likely that disheartened FC United supporters will have dropped down the leagues to watch the likes of West Didsbury & Chorlton, as it is there where they will still find some of the values that FC United were founded on.

When they were formed, it looked by all accounts as if the main United would spend a number of years in the wilderness. Little did they know that Fergie would put together another European Cup winning team. When it came down to it, I think a lot of fans that were initially bought into the romance of it, ultimately realised it was all about winning and not so much about the commercial aspects, which are unavoidable in the modern game.

As soon as the TV money came calling (e.g. in the FA Cup) they gave in like everyone else - their revenue streams are also limited by denying naming / shirting rights - again a necessity of the modern game.

I much prefer what Salford have done to be honest - when FCUM formed, people were bemoaning the fact these fans hadn't gone and invested their time and resources in an existing non league club with a history, or certainly one with incredible potential at the very least like Salford.
