I hear from Sam Byrne’s tweet, that Jason may be leaving for his home club Chester. If so, I find this very disappointing news, especially that he doesn’t want to join in with Jims revolution here at EP and instead sign for a club in financial chaos and on the slide.
I cannot believe that he wants to leave, as another year here like last and he would be a good attaction for clubs higher up the leagues. Especially as Jim has delivered with his signings to provide quality support for Jason. My advice to Jason would be to stay at EP in preference to Chester as he will develop his career with Jim more than he will at Chester, whos squad on paper looks weak especially having been relegated.
No don’t go Jason it may not work out for you. I just feel that Jason will not do as well at Chester, as he would in Jimmy Gannon’s new blue and white army If he leaves, I predict at most 33 games at Chester and maybe 11 goals. Making a sideways move will scupper any chance of Jason ever playing in the football league, just ask Danny Rowe if you don’t believe me.
If Jason should join Chester, then I can see him back in the Welsh League in a years time. Have another successful season here and especially if we are promoted with Jason’s help, then he could well earn a move to the EFL with someone like Tranmere Rovers.
If Jason wants more money and the club is not prepared to go further with his terms then pay him £200 for every goal he scores and a £100 for every assist. He will of course add more at the gate as attendances will obviously increase.
Good luck Jason where ever you go.
I wrote a more in-depth article on the subject in the thread “Team for Next Season”

After meeting Chester club officials last week, It looks like Jason has turned down Chester as they had hoped that former Newtown striker, who works as a physiotherapist at the Countess of Chester Hospital, would look to remain part-time and combine his career in the NHS with his football.
But after talks with Oswell, Chester Joint Manager Johnson believes that the striker has his heart set on taking a shot at the full-time game, with Port Vale, Morecambe, Wrexham and Hartlepool United all keen.
If Jason is not happy with the terms on offer at these interested clubs, he realises that Jim is busy building an exciting and excellent squad for this season and may still want to be a part of Jim’ Revolution here at EP for another season.

Noticed some pictures of Wrexham returning for training today and although the pictures are hazy, there is a guy who looks like Jason. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him complete a Transfer to the Red Dragons soon
Been confirmed, that it wasn't Jason apparently signing for the Reds of Morecambe. I think that this will prove a jump too much for Jason and he needed to prove his form at County was no fluke by staying another season. We all know how he struggling after December 15th to find the form shown in the previous four months and Morecambe are taking a chance and may not have known that. Think Jason is very wise to move on as if he proves to be a flop he can then concentrate on his Physiotherapy career once again. Good luck Jason, I hope I am wrong and wish you all the best of luck in your step up at Morecambe, but I note that Danny L Rowe has not made the step up to the EFL in case his form changed with the tougher challenges the football league presents. Remember Rowe has scored over 150 goals in the last four years and is still at Fylde and under contract. Wish we had bought him when we had the opportunity.

Jason has twitted “My journey at @stockportcounty has come to an end. I have the opportunity to pursue my football league dream. It has been a privilege to play for such a special club. I would like to thank my team mates, staff and the fantastic supporters. Good luck in your promotion fight.”
Jason has joined Morecambe who recently signed former County loanee Rhys Oakes and already have former players Ellison and Kenton. Jason is swapping a promotion battle for a relegation fight and could be playing against us next season 19/20. He is a good bloke and I wish him luck. Really surprised though that Morecambe didn’t go for Fylde’s Danny Rowe.
I know Port Vale were interested and they have bought in Ricky Miller. We offered Jason a vastly increased contract and on top of his earnings at Chester Countess hospital he is worse off now with a full time football career and will be looking for some sponsorship deals in the forthcoming season.
Jason’s form badly suffered for whatever reason after Christmas last season and his goals virtually dried up until near the end when he scored a few tap ins. I personally think the National League North is Jason’s level and that he should have stayed at EP for another season before venturing on his dream. Once the defenders worked out how to play him he faltered. He had 15 in 19 games and 21 by December 16th. He only scored 8 in his last 25 and I wonder whether the League Two defenders will out muscle him.
This gives Jim the opportunity to further strengthen our forward line and perhaps Rhys Turner will come in. Would also like to see Newby, Osborne and Gilchrist join the revolution at EP and we then would be really strong with healthy competition throughout the squad. This all depends on how Jim sees Etches and Czubik next season, I feel that they are not quite there in their development just yet and a loan out may suit them, we shall see.
Could be an expensive move for Jason as he lived 40 miles from county and a 35 minute journey now he has an 88 mile journey which with take him 95 minutes. He will have to move house if he doesn’t want to do the driving each day.

With Last Seasons top scorer, Jason Oswell leaving, it now means that three of our last top scorers are now in the Football League. Kristian Dennis, Danny Lloyd and Jason Oswell. What a strike force we could have had and where will this season’s top scorer leave for?

Why did Stockport County need Jason Oswell to stay on for another season. Well look at the matches Jason didn’t play last season. Jason scored seven goals in his first six league starts. The seventh game against relegated Tamworth without Jason we struggled to score losing 3-1. Jason had now scored 12 goals when we visited FC United in the cup replay without Jason and couldn’t hit a barn door losing 1-0 against 9 men. Jason now had 23 to his credit when we played Nuneaton at home without him and lost again 1-0 By now it became pretty obvious we were not the same team without Jason in the side. By the time Jason was not in the first eleven again he had 29 goals to his credit and we had to rely on a rare Scott Duxbury goal to earn a 1-1 draw away to Chorley to qualify for the playoffs. Jason was rested along with many for the last game against Darlington where in my opinion we lost momentum with a 1-1 before losing the first play off match 1-0 again to Chorley.
Jim. You need to now replace Jason with like for like. a quality prolific goalscorer of Jason's height 6.2 or more who continually scores at least 20 or more a season. You have good back up within the squad now, so go to ot Jim. I know I am right and what’s more is so do you.
Yes we needed to keep hold of Jason for one more season, it would have been better for both parties.

I am pleased with the way Mulhern and Bell look in the team but now Rhys Turner is no longer a free agent following his move to Barrow, I feel we still need a prolific goalscorer in our squad.

Two former Hatters strikers in Salford’s attack. Danny Lloyd and James Hooper. They will be signing Oswell next. They already have a strong strike force with Devante Rodney, Rory Gaffney and Jack Redshaw, also have Anthony Dudley who they have loaned out to Chester, they certainly show they are a club with ambition.
When are County going to replace a man who had a hand in 50 goals last season scoring 29 goals with 21 assists? Who was the last player to contribute to so many goals. Danny Lloyd scored 29 times with, was it 15 assists?
I wish County showed ambition and had a strong Strikeforce that would show that the club has the intent and ambition to win the National League North. Harrogate and Salford showed this last season by continually adding and tweaking the squad throughout the campaign, which brought them success, just hope County will do the same this season. Hope so, fear not, we will probably plod on as we do knowing what we need to add to the squad to get success and do not take the opportunites as many times before.
Boston and Southport have shown ambition with their signings and both have a strong Strikeforce. We will see where they end up together with Kidderminster with Ironside and Chambers leading their attack. Based on the squads as of today, my prediction is Kidderminster Boston Southport and Darlington will finish above us.
If we add four quality players now in a left sided defender, a quality striker and a couple of players with bags of pace we will have the ultimate squad to gain promotion. If we still had Stott, Oswell, Turner and Ball we would be certain favourites. I feel we are a year behind as had we added the six signings to last seasons squad we would have blown Salford aside.

One of my summer targets free agent Shaun Tuton who left Barnsley at the end of last season could be playing at Edgeley Park this season as today he signed for Chester.

Only time will tell, but did Jason make the right decision?
Left County who had prolific start to the season, left behind the valuable coaching he was receiving, left a place where he was adored by the fans and a big fish in a small pond. Now playing in league two, two tiers higher for a team that avoided relegation to the non league on goal difference, not picked for the starting 11, got trashed 6-0 and a small fish in a big pond.
At the moment Jason, you made the wrong decision as the grass isn’t always greener, early days and time will tell, but I think you should have stayed at Edgeley Park one more season

Not working out so far for Jason. So far Morecambe have only scored one goal.
I think Jason should have stayed with County reproduced the form he showed upto last Christmas and this could have earned a big money move and County some deserved cash.
No looking good so far for Jason.

Jason still not scored for Morecambe who lost 3-2 at Bury today, his new clubs fifth defeat in six games.
Stott has been sat on Oldham’s bench in every games so far and not been used at all.
Ball has lost his first team place at Stevenage and is now sadly bench warming too.
Montrose at Fylde and Turner at Barrow both sidelined by injuries.

I bet Jason is regretting his move away from EP as much as we are missing him. Well his goals really.
Dropped or Injured? Not in the Morecambe 18 today.

From reading the morecambe fc website noted a video involving Jason Oswell playing in their home reserve side defeat to Port Vale this week. How the lad has fallen.
