'Exciting development, could be great, lack of experience' - Chesterfield fans react as James Rowe is set to be appointed manager after leaving Gloucester City

@TomB_CFC: “Sounds a bit exciting. We’ve tried experience, we’ve tried club legends, we’ve tried everything else so he sounds like a good punt. Think our fans probably need some expectations setting things won’t change overnight, he’s inheriting a poor squad and he isn’t a miracle worker.”

@jonnot: “Think he’s exactly what we need right now. Smart, young, ambitious and understands the importance of culture and a winning mentality. A rising, in-demand talent who knows the non-league scene rather than someone on the way down the leagues. Exciting development!”

@joshallen357: “I think it could be a great appointment. We have had experience and it hasn’t worked. Surely Rowe will bring some much needed energy and hopefully some new players and get us climbing the table.”

@spireflyer: “We will always mention Paul Cook who we knew nothing about and look what he did. I will give James Rowe every chance, he has a big job ahead of him, I wish him all the best.”

@KenTurner_01246: “A step in the right direction, given his background, it should be an interesting season and beyond.”

@DanTurner1978: “Who knows if it will work but at least it is the right kind of appointment, someone young and on the up rather than the usual outdated old timers.”

@mattlockrhodes: “Bit worried about his lack of experience as a manager but the most important thing right now is to get behind him. Wish him all the best.”

@dpearsoncfc: “Every appointment is a risk. On paper Martin Allen looked a good appointment but it wasn’t - so let’s just judge him after 10 games.”

@spireiterunner: “Let’s hope it’s not another Martin Allen moment. Know nothing about the guy but we will all need to get right behind him.”

@neilgeorgewhite: “First job survival, second job squad rebuild. I'm still confident we will score enough to keep us safe but mentally we look shot. Apparently he likes playing a back 3 which I was hoping we'd seen the last of. Think its a decent appointment though.”
