Anyone bothered by this?
Some good stats on the website article.
Only lost one game by more than two goals - that’s incredible.
Let’s hope he can add a promotion to his CV in a few weeks time!

For his age and some of the cup runs we've had, I have no complaints with CM I feel he'll only get better too!

Slightly worrying he twice mentioned he hoped he'd get to 109. He sort of implied this the other week too.
Hopefully it's just a turn of phrase rather than an implication he's off at the end of the season.
It's an astonishing stat we've only lost one game by more than one goal, and that was against the team clear at the bottom of the league. Lobster mentioned somewhere he felt we'd have a close game against any opposition regardless of their level. Tend to agree with that view.

He has to be questioned though as any manager should be. Tactically this season and last we have struggled to be consistent at home and the entertainment generally has been poor. As has been said their was a real feel good factor around the place and that has noticeably changed recently in terms of atmosphere. Real danger unless we finish the season strongly it will impact on future attendances and any beat the budget campaign. |

No worse than any other fan base imo. There's an expectation here that any club of our size would have. Without that expectation he'd be at Farsley or Witton. Cal will take it harder because he's a fan as well as our manager. That must make it more difficult to get over a poor result. |

Really don't get why you think as a fanbase we are worse than any other club myself The problem is that Calum thinks it's a toxic fanbase as well as our poster. I'd imagine the larger the fan base is the more toxic it will seem as there are more on the extremes when results don't go. If he's lucky enough to move to a bigger club he'll find it worse, if he moves somewhere with less fans it'll be easier. Nothing special about Chester fans apart from an incredibly loyal away contingent. |

We’ve got fans calling for his head on here, Facebook and Twitter.
We’ve got old fossils with chips on their shoulders about Chester City in the stand behind him giving him dogs abuse every game.
If I was him I’d be well gone after this season. Imagine getting treated by your own like that. Our fanbase is up there with the goats. Also think we’re a bigger club than we are.
We are a Non League football club and will be for a long time, the Chester City Football League days are gone and certain people need to get over it.

Some achievement from our very own Blue. The work Cal puts in, in training, outside of training (analysis on opponents) and match days in my opinion, is top tier. Really good work ethic and bright man. I hope he's here for another 100 games and then leaves us for a lucrative deal at Bayern Munich.

Massive 6 games ahead, and Callum needs to concentrate on hopefully achieving the 10 more points we need for a playoff place. |

His life would be a lot easier managing Rochdale or Kidderminster. |

Well if he does go it would probably mean he's been tapped up elsewhere as he's still under contract for next season so would be his decision if the club agreed, as we would be entitled to compensation. |

I think there’s constructive criticism and frustration, which I’m part of recently as we’ve been such a bad watch at home but then there’s other elements, like an under current of fans who want him to fail because he’s young, outspoken, confident etc
They’re the people who drive me mad.
This is a huge stretch of games so we don’t need this groaning at home or the shoot shouts from 45 yards and then a boo when it’s passed.
For the 100th time, Kiddy back doored the playoffs on a right run and their fans were class. Let’s go the same way

Really good work ethic and bright man. I hope he's here for another 100 games and then leaves us for a lucrative deal at Bayern Munich. Calum has been up against the doubters from day 1. When appointed as first team coach, he was dubbed ‘the cheap option’. Since the days of Neil Young, have any of the subsequent coaches raised the hopes and feel good factor as Calum has? Jon McCarthy, Marcus Bignot, Johnson and Morley? No. Calum has done wonders on a shoestring and deserves more credit than he’s getting. Get behind him and maybe, just maybe he and the squad can get the job done and increase the clubs coffers. |

He would then be into the life of an itinerant non-league manager. For most people (including the board I would think), there is a patience that goes with having appointed someone from within. |

Nothing to do with being ex league, but quite rightly there's an expectation that we should be top 7. Can't imagine any Chester fan being happy if we don't make the play offs.
Any manager who can't handle that shouldn't be here. Cal knows we've not been good enough since the turn of the year (said as much in his latest post match interview). I really don't think there's anyone who wants him to fail. Why would anyone? But he's got to be judged on results, not because he's a local lad or a nice guy, or still learning. . I don't think our fan base is any worse than similar sized fan bases. If you've got 400 fans you might have 10 total arseholes. Ergo, we have 2000 fans, we have more arseholes.

Was talking to a Bury fan this afternoon who was moaning about their cranks. it would be easier for Calum to live in a City where he didn't manage the football team as he wouldn't hear some of the garbage day in day out. on the other hand he wouldn't have the huge amount of fondness and patience the majority of us will have with him, even when we get frustrated by the results. Unfortunately he can't have both. |

I honestly don't know the answer to this but would love to see a 'league table' of NLN based on budget. Generally, you get what you pay for in terms of league position but you're always looking for a manager who produces a team which punches above its weight, has a good contacts book for loan players, gets his recruitment more right than wrong.

If Cal harbours aspirations of managing higher up the pyramid, with us or anyone else for that matter then this adverse reaction to criticism - most of which has been constructive from what I have seen on here - needs to be nipped in the bud. Yes it must be hard when it's the club you are a lifelong supporter of, but you've got to take a step back from it and try and detach yourself from it, including from those no doubt around him who I imagine are also in his ear or have been at times. |

Feel like I’m missing something here.
In our poor home performances/results, I have literally not heard one negative shout or frustration vented at Cal from my spot on the Harry Mac. It’s been far more lenient than on previous managers.
Everyone who goes to the games love Cal, and rightly so. I honestly think to call our fan base toxic is mad - it’s a few Facebook loons and some old fellas behind the dugout.
