Look at how Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElenney have taken over Chesters huge rival Wrexham. They hired people who have experience in football and let them deal with the club instead of deluding themselves into thinking they had any business coaching the club. Terry Smith was absolutely insane and thought way too much of himself.
Lol they did it to make money and a show. Their names being attached in a post-Ted Lasso world was a guaranteed draw and networks were happy to pay whatever necessary. Hardly comparable to a random person buying a team out of foreclosure - where's that money gonna come from to hire those good coaches and top talent?
@Rest in peace bro nah. Rich movie stars (and Ryan Reynolds even richer from his mobile service investments) buying a team post-Lasso and hiring quality staff can’t be compared to a random person buying a club that was bankrupt and no one wanted in the 90s.
Obviously Ryan and Rob can afford to lose money (which they never would have anyone because they immediately turned it into a post-Lasso TV show). A random person buying a failing club before all this international fanfare couldn’t afford to lose nearly as much staffing the club.
@@lostinthejungle3917 mans got an obsession with ted lasso
@@MarcosGarcia-pj3pq never seen it. But have seen it’s success in the US. Rich movie stars making a real life version of it was a pretty easy money making bet. Combine that with spending more on players and resources than any other team at the level and you can have some success.
@@lostinthejungle3917did you really just say post ted lasso world 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ ted lasso was based directly on this guy
As a fan of a lower league club, the terry smith saga pisses me off beyond belief, in the lower tiers, a club can fold with as little as 2 weeks notice. Clubs like Bolton and Oldham have narrowly avoided the same fate as Chester, and clubs like Colchester are currently going through it. Not to mention clubs like Bury have also been torn apart due to similar things, but not only are the deluded and to put it simply shit owners the issue, so is the efl, the efl is terrible at looking after their clubs.
im an ipswich supporter and we just got taken over by Americans, I'm hoping they arent like the others or god forbid terry smith
The EFL are a JOKE. They're like the FA of old. Like totally out of touch and behind on EVERYTHING.
@clinx_1 Mate, Bury's fucking dead. It's former owner Steve Dale killed the club in just a week after buying the whole club for £1. Yes, just for 1 pound.
Sounds like they were gonna fold anyway. Literally in foreclosure. Being a fan of a small club - might as well go down to the park and root for whatever kids team has your favorite color jerseys
@@leeham5176 well, they seem to be doing well. The owners also own Phoenix Rising from USL Championship, and they aren't that bad of team (from what I've seen,)
i bet he makes the glazers look like angels
😂😂
my great uncle is the honorary president of the club, during the Smith era he was chairman of the supporters board but was banned from the stadium by Smith due to speaking out against him. He managed to get into a game, and during half time fans chanted “stand up if your names Barrie Hipkiss” and got a standing ovation. I was 15ish at the time and did my work experience as a youth coach, I had to cycle through a picket daily, strange times
I think the mad thing about this is he got 16 points in 25, which isn't like record settingly bad, its just what you'd expect from the worst team in the league. With the narrative you'd almost expect him to get like 1 point in 25! great vid
Fun fact:In Vietnamese League last year,after the first round,the manager of Saigon FC resigned and the chairman Vu Tien Thanh replaced him.
They finished 3rd afterwards.
we viets built different i guess idk
Did he have any prior coaching or at least playing experience?
Yeah, the ‘hien Dog’ union includes hanoi fc, shb da nang, than quang ninh and saigon fc can write every fairytale you can imagine lol
@@ntl219yeah u must be one of those guys who idolize Bầu Đức arent't u?
@@warmikei cant remember if he had coached any club before that, but he did have a pro coach license prior to that.
Keep this kind of content coming bro!
100% on that sir!
@@Maqwell Let’s gooooo!!!
@@Maqwell Keep working hard and getting there.
Great watch as a Chester fan. Back to present time and I’ve watched them twice this week, now owned and run 100% by the fans 👏
Very well researched & accurate! Just when you think you’ve seen it all from this nutter, go look at the picture of him watching the game stood on the roof of a building 🤣
hold up...LOL that's fantastic
Whoa! It took me almost half way through the video that this WASN’T Berhalter’s European adventure.
A Berhalter at Cambuur always fun.
This is what I‘d imagine a real life Ted Lasso plot would be like.
£26,000 - less than half the average weekly salary of any given Premier League player - was the debt that saw Chester City wound up in 2010. That sentence alone is the key to understanding all that is wrong with football in this country, and probably most others too.
I don't think the problem is how much Prem players are getting, it's the system outside of that and the people who's pockets are so big they can give these guys those unfathomable wages
Amazing how much Ted Lasso draws on real-life people and stories. I knew the creators are big soccer/football fans, but damn. Every time I watch a new history video I connect it to a plot-line on the show
i was appointed manager of GFK Ohrid Lihnidos and almost got them relegated to the 3rd tier of macedonian football
managing ain't for you I don't think
Im american and I don’t know much about football but I love it, this would be like me if I tried to manage/own a team😂😂😂
Man this is just sad
Terry Smith could've been an awesome owner loved by the fans and that would've been more than enough
Instead he had to destroy his reputation by trying to horde all the glory
Yup clear the debt, appoint a good technical director and remain a cheerleader for the club and he would have been an all time great probably.

Your doing a great job with transitioning ur channel maxwell. We love it!!❤
Thank you so much! Really working hard to make this work well!
Ted lasso basically
Fun fact about chester ground 1 stand is actually in Wales
Mad I saw this video wasn’t expecting this to be about my local football club
that is pretty neat
Up the seals
I’m a Celtic fan and a Chester fan from Glasgow as my mum and her family are from Chester they really deserve to be a football league club like back in the day
Loll, the idea that you work and you work and you get there is definitely American dream and sports movie trope esque. The funny thing though is that Bruce Arena who failed to get us to the last World Cup said he learns more from watching Bill Belichick coach than Pep Guardiola. So I think a lot of kids who grew up playing soccer in USA had coaches like that unfortunately lol.
maqwell be making hitc sevens content or tifo football content . Great content, keep up the good work.
Yesssiiirrr, and thank you!
Hello maqwell great content really enjoyed the past few vids keep it up 👍
Thank you man! Glad to hear you're enjoying them, watch out for more soon!
Just watched so many of ur vids in a row, class, subbed
Love this vid, absolutely amazed I didn’t know about this story
The American dream himself. No not Terry Smith, you of course Maxwell!
6:26 I was literally playing FM whilst watching this
Saw your Tiktok bro its hard put here but in Career mode terms youre a wonderkid, this video is very well put together and i hope you break out and blow up, because you deserve it.
Sincerely Random Internet Stranger
Hey, Chester fan here, since we’ve reformed we’ve actually done really well, currently 3rd in the national league north
Great video. That’s not the legendary Wale Kwik Ajet in the picture though. I think it’s Fabian Yantorno in the pic.
This guy is every single career mode player tbh
you're very much right
Difference is we have some iq
My high school coach was basically this man but black and overweight
What a mad story, never knew about it but so funny 😂
Loving the new football content!
Much love as always Charlie!
@@Maqwell Yw my man, great actually seeing you enjoying making your content.
>avoids defeat in 6 out of 7 games in the middle of a relegation fight
Smith: and I took that personally
Imagine thinking you know more about football than Kevin Ratcliffe. The guy who was captain of Everton and the Welsh national team.
bro is just ted lasso but without any self acknowledgement
That's actually a really good video
appreciate it!
irl Ted lasso lmao
Lol gotta love the ego of an american owner
"We had more possession so we actually won" - Every Barcelona fan ever
The way he talks about "work work work and you'll get there" shows me he's your typical corporate shmuck that doesn't know anything about anything in the world and all he cares about is his image and making money.
He really lived in a parralel Universe, so he barked at the wrong tree and it backfired. Football is not for imposters.
At 9:13 after the goal the way he looks at the camera. Bro that's the Michael Scott look
Ted Lasso deserves better
Hey man love to content so far! Obviously you’re the boss but I just have a suggestion that maybe you should try making a TikTok. Ik it sounds mad cringe but I’ve actually seen a LOT of CZcamsrs, especially fifa CZcamsrs, grow their fan bases immensely bc of TikTok on yt
Thank you man! I’ve actually been thinking the same thing I just needa be consistent and actually think of decently creative ideas. My tiktok tho is: Maqwell if you want to follow it haha. I probably should promote my tiktok even if I hate it myself lol
@@Maqwell hahaha awesome I’ll make a follow
"Wont ya piss off" 😂😂
Is there any Chance of you Uploading Tactic Resumeés of Great Sides from the Past
I'm absolutely shit at tactics but I'd love to dedicate some time to learning them
Kwik Ajet sounds like something you clean pipes with
Vid 4 of asking maxwell to make a new san marino career
Man is amazing how different Wikipedia sells the story! Completely different!
Seriously, all relationships are changed? In addition, Barrow approached Smith at the start of the season, and asked him to watch the first half of every Chester match from up in the stands as a scout would, and then report what he saw to Barrow at halftime while Barrow was walking from the pitch to the dressing room. This good working relationship between them continued throughout the season.
Wale Kwik Ajet is a NAME. A whale that's quicker than a jet?! Sign him the fuck up!
just for future reference - its Peter- bur-uh and Gray-am
Ted Lasso before the world knew Ted Lasso? :)
Awesome video
Problem with Chester now since being bitten hard by Smith and Vaughn …they are so fan ownership oriented now that they will probably be stuck in the pub leagues for years and years because of lack of financial investment …
I've never understood why people can't let the GM do their job.
Maqwell saying tesco. Go on son.
The real life Ted lasso gone wrong
Great video as a Chester Fan up the Seals
I wonder how this guy would do playing football manager.
This man is a funny man.
Wish I could that in FM .. buy my own club and coach it. 🙂
The owner of our (Switzerland) biggest clown club, FC Sion has been the interim manager of his own club for about 3 times
Don‘t forget Heiko Vogel of FC Basel, arguably the worst of them all. So bad he’s in a league of it‘s own..
Very nice of you to assume there wasn't massive corruption happening here
Bro tried to pull a gregg popovich
Believe it or not the next Chester owner was a lot worse
tery playing fifa after 3 hours
I can come manager
He really is Ted Lasso gone wrong.
the red flag about terry is that hair… anyone with that kinda hair is a knob
honestly man lmaoooo
Come to Romania and see FCSB.
Dark Side Ted Lasso
Ted lasso inspiration
"I don't think you've heard this story yet" I'm actually one of only 40 thousand who watched the CZcams doc lol So yeh I have heard it, but I've watch ALL these football documentaries on YT and beyond. I LOVE THEM! I can't get enough of them and sadly there are a tiny amount. I've watched them multiple times at this point too.
The godfather of them all of course is The Impossible Job with Graham Taylor.
The funniest and most ridiculous is the Big Ron Manager on at Peterborough where big Ron's trying to get the IDIOT horrible manager to stop long ball and play football on the ground... after a loss trying to play that way he screams at his players "3-4-3 LONG BALL!" almost like a punishment. Fucking hell we have to go back to that shit. It's funny af. The manager quits in the dressing room then comes back with his tail between his legs as he realizes he has a mortgage and needs the job. It's HILARIOUS. He sent them to a factory you know like how Mourinho did? But they were MILLIONNAIRES who didn't really know what proper jobs entailed etc. and Jose's like look how lucky you are etc. This cock sent these lads who KNEW exactly what working in a factory was like etc. they're not rich AT ALL and are working class af. They were bored af and thought it was a joke. And he said "When Jose Mourinho does it he's a genius" 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣 Like he thought he could just copy it and have the same results. JUST WATCH IT!
And then there's the Leyton Orient one...fucking hell! They're ALL fucking brilliant and ultra fascinating and David Brentish in a way that All or Nothing just isn't.
All or Nothing Barnsley anyone? Where they've appointed a manager NO FUCKER has ever heard of Poya Asbaghi an Iranian born Swedish under 21 coach. It's the PERFECT formula!
Im an bit of an expoert on Serbian footy, and i never heard about Goran Milosavljevic xD
A real Ted Lasso
6:34 wait that there pregame meal
Oh god
Don’t diss Ted lasso like that unlike Terry he can actually get promoted
U know who likes Walls too?
Martha's Vinyard Residents
What? What does that even mean, or have to do with football?
Thats an awfully nice shirt
one of my favorite shirts
These is like Jerry Jones but at a much smaller scale.
Is this what Ted Lasso is based on?
Good job 🤴
thanks harrison
i thought i was gonna get football but then i got rugby
Sounds like Moshiri
They play American football in Europe? That's a thing?
It's really nice to see my own city in this never realised that happened though
Love watching this as a Wrexham fan. (Chesters rivals)
Blind side is a great movie you’re capping
Won’t ya piss off 😂😂😂
Americans...
Yeah we should stop trying to own football clubs in england. They don’t seem to end well.
This guy has definitely been watching davie504.
I f***in love u u, u are my hero
Ted lasso
You know what, I'm with him. 90 % of the coaching is the same, if you look at one sport, from team to team, but.
You still have to know what you're doing, and Smith didn't. He wasn't doing it for the sport, the club, the fans, but only for himself, and he had no business doing so, I would rather be a good owner than a terrible manager, but hey, he wanted it and gave us an interesting story. Thanks for telling it.
but he said "regardless of the SPORTs"
90% of good coaches, maybe. But if you compare Jurgen klopp to some random tier 3 Romanian league coach you'll get very different results
This guy 😂
typical american that comes into football in uk

Funny story about Chester recently. They are an English club and they are right on the border with Wales and by border I mean most of their stadium is in Wales. Both our countries have different covid rules so when a Wrexham fan (local rivals) noticed that Chester had fans in their stadium (against recent Welsh covid laws) he contacted the police and now Chester are in trouble for breaking the law in Wales. They have been leaching grants off the local Welsh authorities as well for their shitty stadium and they didn't even remember that their stadium was in Wales. Now they are f-ed and could get fined. Around 2010 Chester applied to join the Cymru Premier (the Welsh top league) and were quickly told no because they wanted straight into the top league while other clubs wanting to join the Welsh ladder have to start off in the feeder leagues. They were expecting our FA to relegate a Welsh club for them even though Chester are constantly on the verge of bankrupcy. Even Welsh clubs like Colwyn Bay had to start off in the Welsh lower leagues when they stopped playing in England.
You want to get your facts straight before you start slagging the club off. The Welsh league thing was a last hurrah from Vaughan after the club was expelled from the Conference just before he got the club wound up. The fans wanted to take over the club from him but he would far rather kill the club rather than handing it over. Also the club has never received a penny from the Welsh Government as they are not a Welsh club, unlike Wrexham who were given £100,000 despite having millionaire owners.
