I kind of avoided Matt's question about who would I go for as manager largely because I definitely want Llera to stay and I'd like Evo on the staff too. I'd like to retain a Chesterfield element with people who've done a good job for us.

BUT - if I had to pick a non-league manager who is doing an outstanding job it would be Luke Garrard (hope I got his name right) from Boreham Wood. They'll almost certainly make the play-offs, they are a small club, with a 500 or 600 following. He's in his thirties, he's wholly responsible for building them up to this level. They're a sophisticated team who play some decent stuff. AND as a bonus he might bring some very good players with him. Grant Smith is probably the best keeper in non-league at about 24, Kane Smith is a young full back in the England C squad who has impressed all season, Bruno Andrade is a classy and speedy forward who has scored 19 so far and Morgan Ferrier with 14 goals has had England C caps. He knows non-league inside out. Whereas Boreham Wood would always financially struggle to gain and retain EFL status, we've been doing it for ninety years.

To be honest Blue, aside for his over-attraction to psychobabble that lead to the appearance of the odd embarrassing cliche in his interviews, Jack Lester was probably the most impressive media manager in our history. Unfortunately what happened with the team seemed way out of sync with his lips. He gave the appearance of being original and even challenging but the on-field result was boring, samey and unsuccessful. I'm sorry about that.

What I don't want now is for another one of our heroes to be tarnished.
