The Chris Turner Interview - Transfers, Players & Plans For The New Season


Friday 13th May 2016






With two signings already made in the shape of Jon Nolan and Kristian Dennis, both non league stalwarts, preparations for the 2016/17 campaign are beginning to take shape at Chesterfield FC.

Chesterfield CEO Chris Turner told The Chesterfield Post and local PA journalist Sean Taylor, that more incomings are expected - and that two offers have been rejected for one player as the Spireites prepare for the new season

Chesterfield CEO Chris Turner
(above), told The Chesterfield Post and local PA journalist Sean Taylor, that more incomings are expected - and that two offers have been rejected for one player. With Manager Danny Wilson expected back in the office today (Thursday), more business may be imminent.

Turner also told us of his views on the new Football League and loan arrangements, alongside the future of PFA Chairman Ritchie Humphreys. We also talked arrangements of bonuses for former players. With Burnley promoted (Darikwa) and Hull facing Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship play offs (Clucas) - would that mean a windfall for the club?

Firstly the CEO discussed last season, "It was a traumatic season if you look back on the 10/12 months. It all started when we played Preston in the play offs and Portsmouth came for our manager the week before - from then on it went downhill as Paul made it clear he was leaving to go to Portsmouth, which was a big disappointment.

"Then Dean (Saunders) came and he wasn't really accepted by the fans from day one, so it was a battle for Dean and the team after a good start. Then we lost our way and got a few injuries and hit a bad run of form. Mark Smith came in for four of five games and found it tough. Danny (Wilson) came in and he found it tough early doors, but we managed to get enough points to get over the line comfortably in the end.

"If we'd have had Jones, Martinez, Evatt, O'Neill available for the last few months of the season, we wouldn't have been looked at as a relegation team.

"We'd had the usual injuries in the two or three seasons previously, but last season we had three to four traumatic injuries that kept key players out for months. We'd had two or three years of success, players came, left at the start of last season and so now we have to rebuild and we are starting that now."

Angel Martinez will be 100 per cent fit for the start of pre-season and we are all looking forward to seeing him next season. We saw the start of him last year and then a freak injury in training robbed him of last season said Chris TurnerTurner then confirmed, "Angel Martinez (left), will be 100 per cent fit for the start of pre-season and we are all looking forward to seeing him next season. We saw the start of him last year and then a freak injury in training robbed him of last season.

"I've got to say, he's been so professional and looked after himself and been working very hard with the fitness coach - and by the time pre-season comes, he will be raring to go.

"It will be like a new signing. He only played three games! He's a quality player, a real quality player and we are all looking forward to it."

"I don't think it's a big job - we've got a good squad of players. Those four players weren't playing for the last four months of the season. Martinez, Evatt, Jones and O'Neill will be back into the team and we just need a number of players just to bring the squad up to what we feel will be comfortable in League one.

"Those players would have left whether Paul had stayed or not. That board was full of the squad and Paul Cook sat there and he said 'that needs changing' going into the season that's just gone. He felt that was the best opportunity to do it last year, all the players had been together for a long time. He knew Sam Morsy wanted to leave and that clubs would come in for Clucas. The better we do the more chances clubs would come in for your players and Paul knew that."

"Budget wise, Danny is like every manager at every football club, we'll see who he wants to bring in and if we can afford them. We know what we need to operate around. Last season we operated high because we put 30% back into the player budget from sales - that's how we could afford to bring Novak and Martinez in.

"Danny has got 10/20 targets - he showed me the list that he's looking at and it's eliminating each players for each position, if we can afford them, if they want to come. We have interest in one of our players. He's been chased for the last two weeks. There have been two offers for this player - but we have knocked them back - but it's not a Championship club!

"We have players that will emerge and be our icon players. We can't keep the same players for the next four years, if they're good. If they're good, other clubs higher up will come and get them. In terms of the players, it'll be up to Danny, it's his decision. We haven't sold any players at this club without the manager knowing. It doesn't matter how many went as many weren't featuring in the first team. There's a bit of 'wheeler-dealing' to be done. We've highlighted a number of players that we can loan for a season - we are exploring all those angles for this season. Tom Anderson is on that list

We would love to keep Lee Novak - but he was on such a wage at Birmingham, and we were able to pay Birmingham, a few quid for him last year. Now he's out of contract, he can play for whoever he wants."We would love to keep Lee Novak (left), but he was on such a wage at Birmingham, and we were able to pay Birmingham a few quid for him last year. Now he's out of contract, he can play for whoever he wants.

"His agent's job is to find him a club and get the most money he can get and that's what the situation is. He brought something to the club and scored some vital goals for the club. Can we find someone else like that? I'm sure we can if we're not able to bring Novak in this summer."

With the announcement of a new catering manager, Turner said the new guy had, "A lot of experience, a lot of excellent work in his previous positions. Paul Watts wants to move on, he's done a great job for us, I get on well with Paul and am disappointed to see him leave. We had a number of applications for the position and we've gone for the person that will bring a lot to this position and bring in new ideas and a fresh pair of eyes into the business.

"We're always looking at trying to get the best results commercially and this year will be the best results for Conference and Banqueting since we opened here. All the money goes into the same pot at the end of the year, it's just making it a separate department. Dave (Allen) just wants to simplify the situation, between football and Conference and Banqueting.

"Mitch wanted to move on, he's now working in the industry he was before he came here whilst he makes a decision. There will be a new Chief Scout appointed in due course.

"We have all the clauses and sell on clauses - they're all in there! The players who left, Darikwa, Clucas and Morsy all have some incentive. That's my job! To get the best amount of money for each individual player that leaves, and get clauses in that if they are successful or move on again, that we get our share of the player!

"There is a deal for Cook, play offs, promotion, allsorts - whilst ever he's at Portsmouth, it's all good!

“'You prefer to have your business done before pre-season but last season, we went in with Darikwa and Clucas. All the time there's movement - it's evolving all the time.

“The new loan arrangements will have an impact on all clubs - it's a new change to the game and we have to be prepared for it. I hope it gives younger players within a club the opportunity when it arises."

When asked what the cut-off point for players leaving (not too late in the transfer window) would be, Turner explained, "Not just at our club, but every club, someone might come in on the last few days of the deadline for the transfer window and offer silly money for somebody. It upsets the squad and that's why managers don't like transfer windows because while it's open, anything can happen."

Turner then spoke about upcoming pre-season friendlies, "When Danny is back, we'll sit down and finalise our plans - but we have things lined up and they will probably be announced next week."
 
Would there be any 'glamorous' games? Turner said, "There's always a glamorous one! " and as far as any fixtures with Premier League sides, "There might be two! Might be Leicester - that will be announced in due course.

Asked about the Football League's recent proposals, Turner said, "Football club chairmen weren't even consulted, nobody knew the plans. There's a conference in about three weeks time and I presume this will be on the agenda - there will be a lot of talk about it because it just came out of the blue.

"There are things to be taken out and added in - but I'm sceptical, as I think this is all coming from the Premier League. I think there are a lot of clubs against it but come next year when the vote comes round, there will be some sweeteners from the Premier League that will get people to vote for it.

"I think 65 clubs out of the 72 Football League clubs have to pass it for it to go through, so it's fairly difficult.
 
On the eight sides to be added, Turner said, "It depends where they are coming from. If you're getting them from the National League, then I'm all for that."

And what about Rangers, Celtic or Premier League 'B' teams, Turner replied, "Rangers and Celtic? I think that would decimate Scottish football, so I wouldn't want to see that and I don't want to see Premier League B sides either, because for a club like ourselves, they would be replacing us. If you look at League One, you have your big clubs - Bradford, Coventry, Sheffield United. Bolton next season and then you'd get five or six B teams, so that's seven or eight sides bigger than us, with more money than us, which limits our chances even more.

"And do fans want to go and watch Man United B team versus Chesterfield, when Man United turn up with the youth team and beat us! So from a supporters angle, I don't think there's much from that side but I'd have the eight best teams from the National League come up to reorganise it, yes.

Talking about the prospect of less home games and no midweek matches, Turner said, "I like Tuesday night games and midweek football, but financially it's a disaster because you'll have one home game prior or after the game, so people pick between the games and if they've come Tuesday night and it was rubbish, then they won't bother on the Saturday - so one of the gates suffers. And if you've done well on the Saturday then perhaps people then can't come Tuesday.

"Also when you get the likes of Southend or Gillingham or someone here on a Tuesday night, the away support is about a third of what it would've been for a Saturday match.

"The problem for midweek is because it's illegal - against FIFA rules -  to play competitive football when Champions League games are on. But in this country, we have ignored that, so I bet this is another step away to stop it from clashing with it as regards FIFA.

"To lose four home games, it's around £120,000 taken out of the budget and trying to balance it out with four less away games doesn't even come close - for example if it's an overnight stay it costs about £3,000. It doesn't even come close to £120,000.

"I'm all for change - change for the better. I don't want it to be change for the Premier League. But what they'll do is throw some money at it and say your club will get X, Y, Z and people will look at that and vote for it and it'll probably go through next summer. I would be surprised if it didn't.

"They did it with the PPP and it doesn't benefit clubs of our size, it costs us a fortune. But that was all put through on the promise of £50,000 a year for the next five years - and then people sit there saying 'I can't believe we signed up for that, why did we do that?' "

It's good to have a person in such a high held position in football. Ritchie Humphrey's  is a fully qualified coach and if going into December, you have an injury crisis, you have someone there who can play in three or four positions.Ritchie Humphreys' (left), PFA role is dependent on him playing to keep it, Turner said "That is what we'll do. Danny is back tomorrow (Thursday) and it will be announced Thursday or Friday.

"It's just PR. It's good to have a person in such a high held position in football. Ritchie is a fully qualified coach and if going into December, you have an injury crisis, you have someone there who can play in three or four positions.

"He's been good with the reserves and it's good to have someone like Ritchie around to help the young players and to help them go down the right path. He's invaluable to us."

Turner has been linked with other roles and was asked if he was staying. He said, "I love it here. I love the job here. Chesterfield is a great little club and I think we are working to our maximum to get where we'd like to go."

And the target for the 2016/17 season? "Promotion! We want promotion! We always want to get promotion. I know some fans can't and don't understand what happens but, without going over old ground, it's football. If people know of a way we can keep players happy on four times less wages than they can get somewhere else, please tell me. It's impossible.

"Our goal for this season is to be in the top half of the division challenging for promotion, like some other smaller clubs have - like Walsall.

"I mean this season has showed, with the likes of Burton in our division, Accrington in the division below and Leicester winning the Premier League, that you don't have to throw a lot of money at it - but you do need to have good players and be organised.

Asked if Burton's success puts more pressure on Chesterfield, Turner said, "Take Accrington. They have two good young players, (Josh) Windass and that Crooks lad (Matt). They go to Accrington, who have a small squad. So no matter how bad they've played the week before, they play the next game - and they play the next game and the next game - and they learn on the job.

"Then suddenly, in time, it all clicks. Now, that same young player plays for Chesterfield - he's bad on Saturday. he's bad on Tuesday - the fans won't have him in the team next Saturday. They're booing him. We've seen it!

"The club's like Accrington, on the low budgets, have to keep playing the same players. They make mistakes but they learn and [Stanley's boss] John Coleman has done a fantastic job with them. He gets them over those hurdles. At other clubs, those same young players would have been back in the reserves - but at Accrington they get the opportunity.

"Now, if a player is going to Burton to sign a contract. No disrespect to Burton, but it's the last chance saloon for that player because his next club is in the Conference. And he'd probably get paid more in the Conference than he would at Burton - but you want to stay in the Football League as a player.

"But here at Chesterfield we can't sign that same player on those wages because his agent knows what we pay our players and he wants more money. So they go to Burton.

"You take four or five players out of that Burton team - like what happened to us last season - then Burton wouldn't be going up. Burton have just had one of those seasons. Yeovil did it and now look at them, they nearly ended up in the Conference.

And finally, on the player who's had two offers rejected by Chesterfield, "Danny is back tomorrow (Thursday) and we'll have a discussion. We don't want the player to leave the club but it's hard to say. I'll put the ball in Danny's court, he's the manager. If Danny says the player wants to go, he's been offered 'X' and it's a great deal, then he'll go - if Danny says he doesn't want him to go then he stays, it's as simple as that!

"But the problem becomes when the player knows what he's going to get paid at the next club and I don't know how you stop that, it happens everywhere."
