Allegedly, not a Swindon Town supporter

I am assuming (I am not in the know). Regretfully, in this post covid world, I think that job ticks a number of boxes, even if they are not footballing ones.

That cannot be right, considering how crap he did at Tranmere
If you go with the Swindon Town Facebook rumour he's a cheap option |

Well he criticised Woolery for taking a backward career step going to Tranmere.
For Wellens to go to Salford that would be very hypocritical.
Clearly would factor in closer to home etc but Salford ffs a plastic engineered football club.
I bet if you asked most lower league managers who they would prefer to manage currently between Swindon and Salford then Salford would come out on top all day long. Salford will always be the more attractive proposition at the moment due to their money and better chances of becoming a championship club. Things will change once they lose their funding from Neville and co. |

Could be worse. Could be the yellow filth languishing at the bottom with that scouse twat in charge.
How long ago was it - couple of weeks - that Wellens said he’s going mad with football with no fans? He’ll love it at Salford, then.

Fuck me how low have we sunk? Was not to far back in our past when our up and coming managers were poached by massive clubs (compared to what we were at the time) and you couldn’t begrudge them going. Salford, fucking Salford I ask you.

A nothing football club sandwiched between 2 football giants. Crowds are non league standard. Even Oldham and Dale at least have some history. Wellens could and should be aiming higher than Salford. Clearly money and moving close to home with the Covid restrictions could be tempting though. |

If he did go to Salford, he'd go down in my estimation. But that said, I don't think he would.

if Gary Neville wanted to give some money away he could have at least saved his home town club Bury

I still think the Ginger Scrapper is enjoying his interim spell. If he keeps on picking up results he may want the job himself. I do like Scholes and he's better involved with a club (managing or coaching) than being wasted as a pundit somewhere.
Agree with Ardiles that it would be a strange thing for RW to do. A lot of this is growing speculation though. We don't know the full picture but as usual in football, if he were to go he goes. My heart isn't really in the sport atm. There are much bigger issues going on.
I just wish Wellens would stop being a whining bitch and be as straight as he has been in the past. His extended period of media shirks (some may not be his problem) have been against the grain by his standards - it is all too "convenient" to say it is purely Covid related. You can still do a phone in etc.
It'll all come out in the Salford Gazette chip paper.

If I were Wellens and offered a long contract, the same money or more, a massive budget (which I assume Salford have) and be able to work close to home, I think I would take it.
If he does go, then we will get over it. We lost Macari, Hoddle, Ardiles, PDC and plenty more. The club is still there.
This year is going to be tough no matter what - with or without Wellens.
If we do lose him, lets hope he wasn't the brains behind everything. Lets hope he doesn't take his management team with him and that a combination of Jewell, Hunt and Wright can take us forward.

Jewell and Wright were only here because of Wellens.
Hunt was bought in by Power

I don't think he will either. He may be sorely tempted, but think he'll stay here as he seems to be a man of his word. |

Surely if he wasn't interested he would just tell his agent and the speculation would stop |

The speculation will probably only stop when they appoint someone and it isn't Wellens! |
