All being well, Paul Cook will be announced as the new Chesterfield manager tomorrow - seven years after leaving.
Sounds like Danny Webb is staying on, which is great news.
Huge coup for the club.

The National League is attracting big-name managers, players and attendances. The only thing letting it down is the officials. He is literally looking straight at it. Didn't even give a foul. It's a horror tackle.

Seven more wins and Chesterfield will be back in the Football League. It's been a long road back after being relegated six years ago. Apathy. Dwindling crowds. Chorley away. The Trust. Cook's return. Kirk brothers. Wembley. The non-league chapter is about to close. Thank god.

Too many people playing at being a journalist today. This isn't light-hearted transfer gossip. This is a live investigation with legal implications. A fair and proper process needs to take place. Get yourself a copy of McNae's - you're going to need it.

Chuffed that Danny Webb is staying on. He was put in a difficult situation and he handled it with such integrity. With his knowledge of the squad and the league alongside Cook's experience and man-management skills, it has the potential to be a great partnership.

Kabongo Tshimanga's time at Chesterfield is coming to an end. It was fun while it lasted, but you can't begrudge him a move to the Championship. For what it's worth, I'd back Paul Cook to find the right player/s to replace him.
