Chester have appointed Morrell Maison as Director of Football at the club.

In a two hour question and answer session on an internet forum he rubbished claims that players had not been paid, and that investment was secured until the end of the season when he took over the club. He added that he and Sven Goran Eriksson are to meet with a second potential investor after today's game with Burton, but fans noted he opted not to answer some sensitive questions.
Crewe have made defender Patrick Ada available for loan. The former Histon man is not in Dario Gradi's plans.
