New Orient Manager?

[Beradogs]

Doesn’t sound good Monkey. Doesn’t sound good at all.

Wellens 1-7 for Liverpool job

[Chicken Dhansak]

Seems like most fans on their forum are all for it.

No it doesn’t but he will leave before the new season starts weather it’s Barnsley or someone else

[Long slender neck]

You tried to warn us, but we wouldnt listen.

[RBMarshall]

Richie does seem a bit petulant at times.
I can't help wondering if, rather than a poor January transfer window, it was something stupid like the club not paying his fines that got to him.
He has belief in most of this squad and a more successful season next year could lead to interest from far bigger clubs than Barnsley.

[Story of O]

If Barnsley want him for play offs he’s off soon

[POSHO]

I reckon we can say goodbye to some of our better players when he comes back on a poaching expedition

[Monkey Boy]

You tried to warn us, but we wouldnt listen.

I did LSN but it will give me no pleasure if I am right. There’s several factors why,to numerous to mention all but here’s a few. He’s northern based, we as a club can go no higher than we are, and I really don’t think the board will back him to the extent he wants. The last window debacle was finally the last straw plus working with Ling isn’t the easiest,even though some people think the sun shines out of his backside. Barnsley have the desire to be a much bigger club. I could obviously be wrong but I wasn’t wrong about Jacket or the wages thing.

Gareth Ainsworth is unemployed

Nah, Mrs NES can't stand the long hair, so Seventies

[Monkey Boy]

Gareth Ainsworth is unemployed

This is Ling and Orient were talking about, they have to appoint someone from within and then another six managers before they get the right man. Still he hasn’t gone yet so there’s still hope

Davis Justin Fletcher jacket Wellens all appointments from outside the club , only Embleton Jobi from inside

[Cheshunto]

Do we actually know for sure that Richie is going ??

Until the club confirm it, of course it's only speculation.

But come on - if there was a simple explanation for the manager not being there last night and all was hunky dory, it would have been mentioned/apologies would have been given/jokes would have been made.

The absolute silence says it all.

I'm gutted.

Yes, you may be right, Nigel and Kent go on about how transparent we are with fans so hopefully will reveal what’s going on.
It’s a shame that the interviewer didn’t ask Matt Harrold to explain his comment about the Manager situation rather than leave us all guessing.
As somebody else has posted, it’s quite a delicate time just now with fans deciding whether to renew their season tickets or not, all this speculation certainly won’t help.

[EliotNes]

RW ain't leaving us. This is a WUM boarding.

He was in the stand on Saturday and last night, why would he come to such an event when he's now trying to take a family holiday before the pre-season signings and training.

WUM, WUM, WUM IMO but what do I know as just another boarder and what does the original post-maker know either

How would we know 'he's gone on holiday'?

By the way, thats not the reason I've heard elsewhere.

100% agreed , Wellens ain't going nowhere

That double negative doesn't reassure me

So he's NOT going on holiday or he is?

[WhetstoneO]

Perhaps he's gone on holiday to Barnsley and everyone's jumping to conclusions?

Can you actually go on holiday in Barnsley?

[PoundhillO]

PT is not a consideration (whether he joins Richie or not). There's no-one else internal (thankfully Richie got rid of McMahon as soon as he could, otherwise he'd be in the frame).

After having to deal with a head-strong, impulsive character for the past 2 years, I can see Lingy reverting back to type and opting for another inexperienced coach who won't cause him as much grief.

Who is out there that fits that bill?

Ross?

Hilarious, maybe he will apply for a cleaners job.

[Constanza]

It's the pits.

Well you can, even though having no coastline shouldn't stop you.

The contract extension. Watch Harrolds interview after Shrewsbury, specifically the last minute or so. "Having the right people in the right places".
