It seems to be up now.

At least we've been able to pinch someone from another club even if it's only Norm.

Halts the mass exodus from the club.

Might make Tommy feel a bit better about things.

Good point! Expensive business, this 'backing the new manager'. Reinforces my point about the club having a model and hiring managers to fit that instead of having the change 'philosophy' and direction with each new appointment.

However, Crossley is better than Nixon isn't he!!

[brianclose]

You wouldn't not appoint Crossley just because he has been employed by us before.

Saying that, a burtons dummy would have been as much use on the pitch as Nixon was!

Agreed, sir. I'm guessing the compensation from PC's departure is being spent on compensating other clubs...

And I thought this thread might turn out to be a positive one....

It is, I'm just pointing out that he extended his contract in 2011 to one that would still have had him here now, which we paid up 2 years ago

Nice work if you can get it .....

Looks like Mark Crossley could be coming home.

Gids1980: Hearing #barnsleyfc GK coach Mark Crossley is wanted back at #chesterfieldfc. A deal could see his return sealed in the next few days.

A good appointment.

I'm 100% certain that Tommy Lee will be delighted with this news.

This bit of decision-making alone just highlights what's wrong with football up & down the country.

For a young 'un, you speak a lot of sense.

When Cooky talked about taking CFC as far as he could, he seemingly ignored the fact that the Board (Dave Allen) had backed him totally in terms of allowing him to bring in his own backroom staff of Lynch, Richardson, Carr & Nixon. The casualties were of course Tommy Wright & Crossley, being entitled to redundancy, as should be expected. Cooky has obviously 'repaid' the Board by walking out, just two years after being allowed to build his infrastructure(at much expense, I'd suggest) - so much for 'respect' & 'loyalty'.

So now we have a new man in place, who clearly rates Norm so if he believes he is best man for the job, I don't see the hang-up due the fact that Norms was paid up previously. Cooky is the one to blame, if anyone - he clearly didn't want him. Not Norms or the Club's fault surely?

Do you not think that it's time for football clubs to take control of their structures & how positions are populated, rather than it chopping & changing every time there's a change in manager?

There appears to be a reluctance by clubs to take control & opt on the side of fully supporting a newly appointed manager, but all this does is help jobs for the boys culture at the expense of other employees.

If a club is happy with employee X & that employee has a proven track record of delivering results, why should he/she be moved on to accommodate the wishes of a new manager.

I'd hope Paul Mitchell's new position might start to look at the club's structure & how we go about hiring / firing football related personnel.
