MODCHESTER TAKEOVER BID BLOW WIDE OPEN

TAPP… scuppered

BY JOHN COX In a sensational turnaround, would-be Modchester Ignighted manager - in -wa i t ing James Chandler has turned his back on the club claiming their current league position ‘misrepresents’ the terms of his contract. Chandler, sitting just 2 points below Modchester Ignighted in the league, is thought to have contacted the club this morning after rumours regarding his rejection were leaked on popular social network Twitter. In a s t a t ement to The Sun , a s p o k e s m a n f o r C h a n d l e r confirmed that the deal to takeover the c lub a t the beginning of next season was now void due to a string of poor results and tumbling league position. Ignighted, under the guidance of Luke Tapp until the end of the season, declined to comment on the news.

BY DAVID ASH Modchester manager Luke Tapp has been told by the club’s board that he has JUST 2 GAMES in which to salvage his job. Tapp, 29, who exits Modchester at the end of this year to coach in the Middle East, has strenuously denied claims that his wife was the driving force behind the move away from the club, but could offer no answer as to why the former title contenders had slumped to 13 in the league

Tapp role hangs in balance

MOD BOSS … game over

BY BENJAMIN MASLEN Aber Digs League flop Ian Wallis could return to the division in less than a month – pending the dismissal of struggling Modchester boss Luke Tapp. Wallis, who’s team was relegated to the league’s second tier at the end of last season, has made no secret of his desire to return to the Aber Premier. A source from inside the Modchester Ignighted camp confirmed that the club’s fall from grace has made it impossible to attract some of the league’s top managerial talents. Modchester fans have taken to Facebook and Twitter to express their disgust at manager Tapp’s decision not to return to the UK to meet his frustrated squad
