As much of Salford is actually closer to central Manchester than much of Manchester I would not be so sure. Done a heck of a lot of work there over the last 10 years and it has changed beyond recognition and much o it is now just an extension to Manchester City Centre.

I appreceite what you're saying but I'm guessing players will be attracted there because of the wages they can pay at that level plus the razzmatazz of the owners etc and I'm still not sure how you get a City inside a a City😁

So he tells STFC fans he’s leaving primarily for family reasons - the easy option of excuses
He tells the Salford fan ‘he’s not accepted the job to spend more time with his family. He’s had 5 months in lockdown with his family and he’s had enough’

Did he really say it's difficult for us to attract players because of location? "I heard they dropped an atomic bomb on Swindon! About 15 quid's worth of damage!" Best wishes

You don’t need to live in Swindon itself, you can live in one of the very nice towns or villages within 10 miles or just commute. General location and convenience is one of Swindon’s main selling points.

Agreed, provided they avoid Calne although I seem to recall Bart Griemink lived there (I am sure there have been others).

Wellens is talking aload of bollocks if he was unable to attract players it was because we were in league 2 and he wanted league one players or they wanted wages Power wouldn't finance and the likes of Bristol City & Plymouth do ok

Recruitment can be a problem for Plymouth I understand, given their location here on the SW peninsular.

I've so far tried to ignore posting about Wellens as bitter football supporters grind my gears, but his statement about not being able to attract players to Swindon due to its location is quite clearly ridiculous.

You have a river in the way. The commercials CBD of Manchester City Centre is expanding northwards, that expansion is in Salford.

Could be overly generous to him, but there is a difference between spending more time with your family and not having to commute the length of the country for your job.
