Southport Manager Unhappy After Chorley Defeat

Southport manager Liam Watson has claimed that there are a load of overpaid players at his club after they lost 4-0 at league leaders Chorley on Tuesday evening.

“They’re the benchmark, they are what we need to be and we are a million miles away from being what Chorley are," said Watson as reported by the Chester Chronicle.

"Forget about ability, forget about strength, forget about power, forget about a team ethic, because they’ve got it all and we are a million miles away from that.

"At the moment, I think we’ve got a load of overpaid players who think they’re miles better than what they actually are and some of them will never play for me again.

"I’ve been biting my lip, they’ve got no character, this is the quietest dressing room I’ve ever been in. They look petrified. They’re alright if they want to turn up in training and think they’re good, they get too well looked after by the club.

"We actually need to move some of these out, but I’ve been trying to move some of these out since the start of the summer and the simple fact is no-one wants to come in for them because a) they’re not as good as they think, and b) they’re actually on far too much money, so it makes it extremely difficult to actually move them on."
