The Cheshire Phoenix have gone through various changes over the past year, with the club almost fading out of existence at some points before and during 2012/13. Now they look a lot more stable under new ownership and having appointed a new coach back in May this year. John Lavery is back in charge of the Phoenix and with a squad coming together, he is hoping to be able to compete at the top end of the ladder. He said: "Obviously there were some problems last season, but the guys did tremendously well to stay together and keep training and playing - I hold my hat off to them." "It's huge to come into this season with more stability, at the moment we have two fantastic owners who want to move forward." "They want to put this club back where it belongs and that is at the top of the BBL, competing for silverware." So what was behind Lavery's decision to return to his old club? Well he believes that the future is bright for the Phoenix. ...
