Re: Richie interview
Considering everything Richie said and how tough League One is going to be next season our Summer transfer business has to be spot on . IMO, It's going to be one of our most important Summers for transfer business . Get it wrong and we could be facing a relegation battle next season so fingers cros...

Re: Richie interview
"Big" clubs at this level can often get stuck for a while... recent examples include Sunderland, Ipswich, Sheffield United, Leeds, Coventry, Bolton... and tbh Wigan aren't as big as any of those. The "ex Premier League club" thing is overdone IMHO. Bradford are an ex PL club and ...

Re: Richie interview
Richie Wellens was very happy after he signed Pigott 10 months ago: "He's a focal point in terms of his size, but he's certainly not a target man. He's great with his back to goal and a really clever footballer. In terms of goals, he had a wonderful spell at Wimbledon which got him a great mov...

Re: Richie interview
He’s on very decent money and will struggle to get a club in League One. We might have to take a bit of a hit on this. Hope you’re all ready to buy lots of crap food in the ground next season to help cover it.

Re: Congratulations to
All I know about Braintree is from our visit there when it seemed pretty tinpot. Didn't they only bring about 20 fans for the reverse fixture, even though it was quite a big local game for them?

Re: Richie interview
Very publicly saying that Pigott isn't his kind of player is also a massive power move, given how much money JP is on. I agree. That’s very hard to come back from or claim misinterpreted comments. You would think he will certainly move over the summer. Also another criticism of the "process&qu...

Great news for people who love to applaud exaggerated attendance numbers. Imagine this flashing up on your screen at home... "today's audience is 342,911!" (186 people get up from their armchairs to applaud themselves)

Re: Richie interview
Thanks for the summary, top work. Stockport and Mansfield have a lot more money than us? The 3 going up will all be ahead of us, as will the 3 going down, so not sure how our budget has dropped from top 10 to 14th. Maybe the purse strings have been tightened? Not listened to the podcast, but it cou...

Re: Idris Saying Goodbye ?
He’s a Championship standard player. He deserves a Championship level wage. Orient is probably the only League 1 club he might consider moving to, but in reality he should be looking at Championship clubs for his next move. I’m sure his agent agrees too. Not only is he a serious baller he comes acr...

Is it possible to read that video as, rather than a farewell Orient, but to Ipswich, a please listen to this and let me leave Ipswich for Orient? Hard to see he has a future at Ipswich and the most he could hope for would be a season loan to a Championship side. this thread clearly demonstrates tha...

Re: Richie Wellens Interview
Quite interesting that he's changed his tune a little bit in terms of our goals for next season (at least I can't remember him saying that next season might not be the one for us before). I dont mind it. Setting expectations lower than 'not getting in the playoffs will be a failure' is quite clever...
