Neil Young and Gary Jones leave Chester
Chester's only manager Neil Young who led Chester to a double promotion to the Blue Square North has today resigned alongside assistant manager Gary Jones. The ex Colwyn Bay boss joined Chester upon their formation and successful appeal to join the Northern Premier League Division One North where his old club played in, led Chester to the Northern Premier League and then to the Blue Square North. Young released a statement on the club's website
"I've had two fantastic seasons at Chester FC and the support has been brilliant. I have achieved two promotions here and I feel I can manage in the Football League, I spoke to the chairman and we mutually agreed after a long discussion it was time for me to go. The backroom staff are going but the chairman told me of his choice and the coaches who will be coming in and I am excited to see Chester play under their new boss. I wish the club the best and a third consecutive promotion will be brilliant. I want to thank the fans for their loyal support and the players and the board for backing me while I have been here."
Following Young's resignation, Sky BET have installed ex Portsmouth manager Tony Adams as the favourite for the job.
