Excellent news for me. My grandfather had something to do with County at the turn of last century (early 1900's) and I have kept an eye on them ever since I got interested in football and QPR.

They seem to have axed their manager!

BBC - Confusion surrounds Ablett exit

Former Stockport boss Gary Ablett has claimed the club's new owners did not inform him he was being released.

The ex-Liverpool and Everton defender left after just one season in charge at following the club's takeover by the 2015 Consortium on Thursday.

Ablett told BBC Radio Manchester: "I haven't been involved at all in the decision, the new consortium have never spoken to me."

But chief executive Sean Connelly said Ablett had left the club on good terms.


I think I've known this day's coming over the past four to six weeks, possibly even longer

The ex-Liverpool youth-team coach appeared to have a different view, as he added: "I do feel mistreated as the courtesy of a phone call would've been nice.

"But obviously that hasn't happened and I think I've known this day's coming over the past four to six weeks, possibly even longer, with the fact they haven't spoken to me.

"Do I regret going to Stockport is a difficult question," he added. "I did have other offers on the table at the time and certainly I had a very good offer to go and work abroad on a three-year contract."
