Jon Challinor Released

[Larry Wilkie]

I know he divided opinion when he was here, and this may not be of interest to many, but JC has just been released by Newport County (and no I'm not even thinking about a should we shouldn't we question, this is for info only).

He doesn't seem to have set the world alight elsewhere, unless I've missed something, so I guess we were right to let him go when we did?

He seems to be getting the boot every week, yes we made the right decision without a doubt !!! Maybe argyle could tempt him ?

 

[Larry Wilkie]

He only signed in October. Not sure how many appearances he made, but not looking good for him at the moment. I would have thought he could still do a good job at that level, but with County pushing for promotion, he's obviously not the answer for them. They've already lined up four new signings for the transfer window so making room in the squad and JC obviously surplus to requirements.

I liked JC mind u i also liked Lee Elam so shows what i know!

 

[mwallace]

Oh. Didn't even know he went there.

Had real talent but never fulfilled his potential, Always liked seeing him play, Gord knows what's next for him, Further down the football pyramid i guess

 

[memoman]

perhaps Tiverton Town should make a move?..

 

[Larry Wilkie]

Guess like most players who have flattered to deceive over the years, there will be good things you remember about him, and memory fades the poor games, or times when he didn't appear that interested (seem to remember those things being said about RH before though).

I always liked Challinor And i think he made a Huge mistake leaving us as we offered him a big deal to stay.

Im Sure if you asked him he would say leaving us was his BIG mistake!

It's an odd one. As you say since leaving us he's pretty much been a flop everywhere but I think if he had stayed he would have continued to deliver the goods. Seems that turning our offer down ruined his career.
