Chester Sack Wadsworth

Chester have sacked manager Mick Wadsworth and assistant Simon Davies after last night's loss to Forest Green, 5live are reporting.

The loss left them 24 points short of safety after just over a quarter of the season. Even if they hadn't started the season on -25 points, they would be just one place above the relegation zone. Wadsworth was the twelth manager of Stephen Vaughan's reign at the Deva Stadium where he was assisted by Davies, who also had a stint in charge.

Meanwhile Chester expect to lose £660,000 this season. They have posted their profit and loss projections for the season to their official site that suggest a weekly playing budget of £11,500. They expect gate income and season ticket sales to barely outstrip the £215,000 they are to receive as a parachute payment - but the parachute payment will be reduced due to monies owed to the FL and other football creditors from last season.
