There seems to now be a general consensus of opinion amongst fans that a change of coach, along probably with the conditioning staff, is required. This will obviously cost money. But any new coach is going to have their hands tied regarding recruitment in a way that Chester has not had to deal with in recent times. CC stated in his pre-match press conference that the budget available will be equal to that of 3 or 4 years ago. Depending in our finishing position and the prize money allocation linked to it, plus the outcome of the Toronto saga it may even be less than that. Especially when you throw in the rising covid issue could hit this year again. So how do we regenerate the squad with the fresh blood it desperately needs? There are very few remaining players that are off contract and we can’t afford to pay any under contract off. We know...
Leaving - Brough, Kirmond, Atkins, King.
Out of Contract - Jones-Bishop, Kopczak, Gwaze.
On a season Loan - Navarette, Tangata, Battye.
So which way do we go? Do the OCC guys deserve new deals? Do we want to sign up the on loan players? Do we have to raise funds and free budget up buy selling 2 or 3 of the crown jewels? How would you juggle it?
Some names to throw in the mix. The obvious ones are:
Battye
Tangata
Navarette
Senior
And a few more likely to available:
Ben Flower
James Cunningham
Stevie Ward
Liam Sutcliffe
Darcy Lussick
Anthony Mullally
Dec Patton
