UEFA A licence and a sports science degree? ... This guys way to smart for the church-benders!
Let's hope foster works his magic and sends them down.
Will be interesting to see if Gloucester pass them on the way up

Got a good feeling about this one.

Think he’ll do well as Clough no doubt will for you.

I can understand James Rowe as he has knowledge of National League North which may be required by the Spireites next season but how much does Big George know about non-league football? Horses for courses.

Gotta admit he looks fairly promising on paper.. Yet so did coughlan! Turned out to be statistically the worst manager in MTFC history (and that takes some doing).
Think he will have the same issue as Clough thou... Being lumbered with the previous managers dog turd squad of players!
Trouble you will have is finding the funds to strengthen in January I guess.

George will still have contacts at league clubs and may be influential in getting loan players in. That could be vital when you have little or no money to strengthen and could make the difference between survival and liquidation.

Sounds a good move to me. Looks like he's bringing in Gloucester's star striker.

Worked for us with Paul Cox and Lincoln with the Cowley's.

Don't forget agent Foster has entered the room. :D

Still very early days but the signs are good. You might well laugh, and that's fine, but I've seen and heard enough to be absolutely sure we'll be top 7 this season.

Have you lot borrowed more money off the council tax payers of Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire?

A manager who was under contract and five new signings, three of which were under contract and said to have cost fees.

You have certainly had the "new manager bounce". Although it looks like the board has backed him and maybe that's the reason your fortunes have improved.

Early days yet for predicting top seven. A long,long way to go yet in the pit of misery.

I can't knock your confidence. You need to get that bet on soon then whilst the odds are long enough and cash in. If you have a good run and win three out of the next four games you will be mid table and within striking distance of the top 7 (maybe only 2 or 3 points away)

That is agood point to be fair. Were is the money coming from?.... The place was literally on its knees til the council bailed them out.

No money coming in... Yet they have a Full squad of pros & back room staff to pay... 5 new signings... Compensation for stealing a manager under contract.

Seems unrealistic somehow?

The debts are mounting up again. They're still looking for a long term buyer/investor.

I suppose it shows how far they've fallen (like what we'd done) when wins at the well known footballing outposts of Weymouth and Sutton count as an improvement :shock:

As mentioned - odd that they've got new players in and a new manager when their financial situation is supposedly dire.

To put into context - our 3rd season down there involved us being locked out of FM by Haslam, not playing in seemingly ages due to that ridiculous snow storm which seemed to go on forever, being taken over by Radford, playing about 637 games in March/April then reaching the FA trophy final.

Upwards trajectory from then on in

The councils lent money, at commercial rates, to the community trust that own the club.

Dave Allen walked away with next to nothing leaving the club debt free barring a few surprises and unpaid bills, so financially we seem solid, especially given what's happening in the wider world.

It wasn't expected that funds would be found to act as quickly as he has but Rowe seems convinced promotion is a realistic aim this season. Unlikely of course, but a breath of fresh air to have a manager talk positively and with a level of footballing intelligence we're simply not used to.

You chaps know the misery of non-league so will understand how it's easy to get over excited at the green shoots after years of abject misery.

Lying is also a good way to get gullible fans to buy merchandise and tickets when they are available. If Chesterfield can get anywhere near to the football league this season they will thoroughly deserve their promotion.

Rowe appears to talk a good game and would make a good snake oil salesman.

It's strange that your previous manager had no money to strengthen the squad. Yet you have had to pay compensation for your new manager, signed five players and two more signings being lined up. And so far not let any of your players go. All this after borrowing council tax payers money and no gate income. With no prospect of fans returning to your stadium for the foreseeable future, it all seems a little bit odd to me.

It's obvious that they did not trust Pemberton to make any decent signings so I'm guessing they lied to him about having funds available.
Rowe seems a very ambitious kinda guy so I'm sure he was made promises in order to tempt him to the spires.
Seems a decent young knowledgeable manager... Just what you need to get outta the national league hell.
