Wright Departs Chester

Mark Wright has left Chester City with immediate effect.

The former England international agreed a two year deal at the start of the season, but departs half way through the contract after a dismal campaign. Assistant Graham Barrow has also left the club.

Under Wright, crowds fell to around 1,500 with fans complaining of unattractive football and the club had not won for six games. He originally managed the club from 2002 til 2004, leaving after a spat with chairman Stephen Vaughan, and returned last February.

A candidate for the post may be Boston manager Steve Evans. Evans recently spoke of his friendship with Vaughan, whilst noting his dislike for Wright, and signed Vaughan's namesake son from Chester. However the early fans' favourite is former Huddersfield boss Peter Jackson, who spent three years as a player at the club in the mid '90's.
