Carragher trolls Neville after Salford part company with another boss Jamie Carragher has trolled Gary Neville after Salford parted company with manager Richie Wellens just over a week after winning the Papa John’s Trophy. The Sky Bet League Two club only appointed the 40-year-old in early November, but a run of four games without a win in the division has proved his undoing. An official club statement read: “Salford City Football Club has parted company with Richie Wellens by mutual consent. “We would like to thank Richie for his time and efforts at the club and wish him well for the future. “An announcement about a new manager will be made in due course. There will be no further comment.” Graham Alexander was sacked in October and replaced by Wellens, who left League One Swindon to make the move to the Greater Manchester club. Salford were beaten 2-0 by Cheltenham at the weekend and afterwards Wellens let his feelings be known. He claimed the pre-match warm-up from his players left a lot to be desired and claimed he would be investigating that. He also questioned the attitude of his players and said they were an “ok team” when they listened to what he wanted them to do.
