Bignot To Leave The Blues At The End Of The Seasom

The Blues have struggled for form and need a huge upturn in fortunes if they are to remain in the National League.

Bignot, the former Grimsby and Solihull manager, has been unable to improve the club’s position.

A board statement confirmed that he will leave when his contract expires at the end of April.

“The decision was made by the City Fans United Board of Directors at a meeting last Monday,” it read.

“The Board would like to place on record their thanks to Marcus for remaining professional throughout his tenure – especially of late – given the challenges currently being dealt with by the club.

“This season has been an extremely tough one to endure for each and every Chester FC supporter. It has also been a challenging environment for Marcus to be involved with. The board wishes to emphasise that we understand the frustrations of all concerned.

“We do thank the fans for their continued support and ask for their ongoing backing as Marcus manages the team for the remainder of this campaign. He has worked very hard in extremely difficult circumstances and it is vital that he retains our full support for the remainder of his tenure.”
