He's player of the year and you know what that usually means. He has massively put himself in the shop window in the play offs.

If he gets a move to a bigger club higher up the leagues, then good luck to him. We will have the memories and  league football as a parting gift.

This club needs to emulate the likes of Peterborough and Scunny when they were rising, in that we pluck players from obscurity and sell them on for a profit. Then go find the next one.

Hope he stays, but if he goes, then so be it.

Not everyone  rates him as highly as we do .Not picked in NL team of the year .I looked on chesterfield forum and in their discussions of who they would like to see come in McAtee wasn't mentioned .I really hope he stays, I cannot fathom how he's not in the NL team.And what do chesterfield fans know .McAtee is a fabulous player and will play higher level .Hopefully with us .

He’s probably been put in the bracket of striker and unless you watch him week in week out, his stats are no greater than many players. That said, we all know how he operates and what he brings to the table, I wouldn’t swap him for anyone in the conference, absolutely love him.

Firstly there is a one year option on him so he’s going nowhere unless it makes sense all round. That means a very decent offer, not a Fenty decent offer. Secondly, I’m pretty sure our new owners will want to make sure the mistakes of 2016 are not repeated and that means not allowing the promoted team to be ripped apart.
Be very surprised if he’s not here in August.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Do u mean a further 1 Yr option on his original 2 Yr contract or are you just referring to him having another year already contracted to us?

I understood him to be on a one year contract with the option of another year. I may be wrong but that was my take of the situation.

Quoted from sydney
Enjoyed the genuine praise at work today
Even from some Gimps
But This Thread has Made me think of the 2016 promotion and the fact that PH let a lot of the squad go 🙂
Something from which I feel we never recovered and we saw what happened
Please don't do that again PH - “most”  of this team deserve a crack at Div 2
Hope He / They see this
Come on Town!!


Hurst didn't "let a lot of the squad go" - we had a majority shareholder who wouldn't put the right contracts in place, so quite naturally some of them buggered off!
