Have a listen at the Stockport manager’s comments about Salechs injury time goal at their place in September. 3.45mins.
No wonder his team play dirty like a bunch of thugs with comments like that.

No surprises there.. probably still wears wooden clogs when relaxing.

F@cking hell, no wonder they play so dirty
He should be a boxing coach

He seems proud of the way they play, what a wanker

It does seem that way mate. No protection from regs means his thugs will often get away with it.

He has been endlessly linked with Championship jobs but never really got that close to getting one.
I've always wondered why because he's done a brilliant job at Stockport.
But if that's how they operate then it's easier to understand why. A lot of Championship clubs probably look at their approach and think "no thanks."
Hope they don't go up.

Although I agree Stockport were filthy let's not forget there were times we thrived on our team being a big bunch of bruisers who bullied teams off the park
I'm not gonna turn in to a hypocrite when teams do it to us, as it got them a point on Saturday
That was all on the ref its his job to protect the players against that sort of thing and he failed miserably

We have had very physical teams in the past but i certainly can’t remember a manager of ours making comments like that. Surely that has to be close to binging the game into disrepute

Wow... encouraging violence and knocking teeth out is not acceptable.
How didn't this get pulled up previously and how didn't he get a fine for this.
If he’s saying this on camera, imagine what he says in the dressing room.
Hope they fall out of the play offs, rats.

We've had big physical teams yes but if they'd ever played like that we wouldn't have won a game. Any ref in the championship is showing at least 2 red cards. If by some miracle they go up they'll be back down with bells on

Comes down to the quality of the officials, league One, we will struggle to get that, we have got to compete with stupid tackles that will never get picked up, our youngsters will learn from this and make them stronger.

The ref enabled it. A different ref would have dealt with the behaviour and kept it clean. Paul Howard was visibly out of his depth. It will be interesting to see where his next few assignments are. My guess is L2 or back to the national league for him.
He was already assigned:
Wycombe Wanderers v Wigan Athletic (19:45)
PAUL HOWARD

Shows his small mind mentality, and likely explains why he manages a team containing thugs, who are out to maim the opposition! It’s no wonder he’s stuck in the small town of Stockport!
I hear the ‘
we had players like that in the past’ comment, but none of our lot were ‘thugs’ out to injure and maim. They were, like tough players in other sides, simply robust and effective in their roles!

Horrible little team - horrible little manager - horrible little gang of fans!! After the City, from now on Stockport's result will be the first I will be looking for and I will look forward to every loss they have and hopefully they won't reach the playoffs and if they do I will be hoping they lose in the final!!

Now on FB there’s an image of Brad Hills in a gladiator costume with ‘Brad Hills, breaking necks wherever he goes’ as the title.
What’s wrong with these idiots?!
Tbf a few Stockport fans are calling the poster out as an idiot too

Madness.
I really hope they fall away and get stuck in this league like they deserve.
Small club, they are going no where.
