The future can wait for the moment for Connell Rawlinson, but he's done himself no harm
Chester interim boss knows his tenure will be a short one regardless
When Connell Rawlinson agreed to take on the role of interim boss of Chester FC, he knew it would be a temporary gig.
The mountain seemed too large to scale at the time. After the Blues had beaten Spennymoor Town back on February 28, the club sat 10th in the table, but the amount of games in hand teams around them had made it seem an almighty ask, and one that would require Chester to put together a run of form that wasn’t just play-off form, but title form.
Ten games, seven wins, two draws and one defeat is his record. The 0-0 draw with King’s Lynn Town on the final day of the season at a packed, sun-kissed Deva Stadium was enough to secure the Blues seventh spot. And while disappointed not to have bagged fifth, the 34-year-old former Chester City academy graduate, whose playing career took in spells at The New Saints, Port Vale and Notts County, knows he has already done enough to potentially pique the interest of some chairmen who may be looking for a new approach in the summer.
