Dale sat 22nd in the League One table after winning just once in 12 games since Boxing Day and were five points adrift of safety after five straight defeats.

1) BERNARD MORLEY & ANTHONY JOHNSON (joint)
Barnard Morley and Anthony Johnson were managers of Salford City between 2015 and 2018 and guided them to many promotions up the non league pyramid. They left the club by mutual consent, due to irreconcilable differences regarding performance and contract length.
They are currently managing Chester, gained 7 wins from their first 15 matches, lost 8-1 to Blyth and overall, achieved a 16-14-12 record, which saw them clib to 9th on the table with 62 points. Chester were just 3 points off a playoff spot. In the FA Cup, Chester were also defeated 4-3 in the third qualifying round by Dunston UTS.
Current odds on Sky Bet: 1/1
