This was hardly complimentary about him IMO My point is he doesnt come across as totally clueless as his asessment of Touray performances for Salford last season could easily be a high majority of Tourays performances for County this season. One is an opinion about football players based on publicly available information (ie watching football matches that they’ve played in). The other is something that could only be gleaned from non-public information. I can only assume you’re being deliberately obtuse if you can’t see how those two things are different? I totally get his information could be duff but to me your original comment came over as very dissmissive of him and countred his assessment of Touray was very accurate and therefore had a good judgment of a player as it could have been any County supporter opining about Touray playing for us this season and therefore not clueless about judging a player on the pitch.

Appleton already under pressure at Charlton three months into the job.

His name was mentioned as a possible for us after Rusk's departure & at the time I thought 'please God no' He hasn't done anything of note for years & his football is stale. Think he had 1 half decent season at Lincoln before they fell out of love with him, Blackpool & Pompey fans despise him. One of those managers who must be very good in interviews because he keeps getting jobs! Thank God we went for DC!

I agree 100% 73 We dont know how far the Charlton interest went, but if DC did seriously consider the job then i bet hes glad he dodged a bullet!

Really one mans opinion on any player counts for nothing even if he is a football manager. There will be plenty around that will agree with them and others that will not. Its not to say they are correct or not, its just an opinion. If every single manager and fan thought the same there would be a smaller pool of players playing in the game.

Never rated appletons sides but his type of football would have fitted in well after rusk left. We would have seen little difference.

Obviously moving a club to NI is ludicrous. But Belfast would be a phenomenal away day. I believe we were very close to playing at Glentoran in a pre-season summer just fine but it fell through last minute, hopefully we get that next year.

Its hard enough to travel to nottingham and back by public transport never mind to northern ireland.

Its hard enough to travel to nottingham and back by public transport never mind to northern ireland. There’s about 15 flights a day from Manchester, takes less than an hour. It’s probably easier and quicker to get to Belfast than it is somewhere like Stevenage.

It’s got more going for it than moving to Milton Keynes

It’s got more going for it than moving to Milton Keynes Not really. A population of around a quarter of a million with no other team that close to them sounds a good option. If they had managed to reach the premier league i,d imagine their ground would sell out. There is a lot going for having a league team there, its just the circumstances how they got one that leaves a dirty taste in your mouth.

Naturally not a fan of a franchise but if you were to theoretically move a club, then moving one to Belfast in the aftermath of the Good Friday agreement would have been far more successful than moving to a shitty town with no soul 40 miles away from London.

In terms of cities there’s absolutely no contest between Belfast and MK. Belfast has everything, MK is just a big retail park.

Moving Wimbledon anywhere was a terrible idea which should never have happened, at least the Belfast idea seems to have been made with good intentions
