Richie signs new 3 year deal

[y o y o y]

So what we can conclude from all of this is that Wellens finds awards ceremonies really boring. I agree with him.

Or perhaps he was unwell.

He started feeling sick on Saturday at Old Trafford, just after Burnley put away that late penalty

Seems to be two threads about this. So I’ll repeat myself — really pleased with this, we’ll done to everyone involved

Great news.
Hold on tight, it won't be dull that's for sure

[PKM]

Fantastic news
Made up, well done the bod and RW

[PoundhillO]

Great news , the club must have promised realistic increased budget for getting promoted next year and RW having a final say on who we sign.

[Give it to Jabo]

It has all been a bit surreal....

So what we can conclude from all of this is that Wellens finds awards ceremonies really boring. I agree with him.

I've no doubt he was all over it last season, but can well imagine him being a bit 'what is there to celebrate, we finished 11th' about the whole thing this year.

Why wasn't that your 1st thought?

[Rubex Kube]

Ok guys I’ll hold my hands up, I was wrong.and I’m glad I was. However I think the recent speculation has brought this announcement forward. What with Ipswich looking like there going up, as I have said before, El Miz will sign. I can’t be wrong again,can I ?

A Broken clock & all that.

Wonderful news. Well done to our chairman and all concerned in persuading him to stay. I am sure we will go from strength to strength under his management. COYOs.

3 more years 3 more years Richie Wellens ....

Where did that chant for Darren Pratley come from?

[Bergen]

Excellent news.

I am sure he will have a release clause in his contract, but hopefully he will take us to the Championship before he leaves!

[Stan1972]

In RW we trust

Get in

[Hoover Attack]

West Ham, I think.

[Eggski]

Wicked, 3 more years of tippy happy football. Can't wait , will be on the edge of my seat...... . All jokes aside, good that the club have obviously agreed he can reinforce the squad. Must be part of why he signed up for. Up the Os

Hopefully the bed wetters can relax now.

Hopefully the bed wetters can relax now.

Dream on, when the next manager vacancy crops up, they'll be out in force again. If we have a few defeats in a row, you'll also get why on earth did we give him a three year contract. That's the way message boards work, sane people should stay clear, I just can't help myself. Personally I couldn't be happier. Easier to replace players, than a decent manager.

That was my first reaction too, but in both Wellens' interviews since the news broke, he's played that prospect (going for promotion next season) down

Great news to have Richie on board for three more years; he is a manager who is loved by the bulk of the fans and his plain speaking is still so refreshing. Keep wearing your heart on your sleeve, Richie, you can continue to achieve great things with Orient.

And let's start with a dazzling cup run in the League Cup this autumn!

I hope he also gets a lot of luck in the summer with all the out of contract players signing new deals, plus some windfall cash from sell-on fees for the likes of Kyprianou (when Peterborough bomb out of the play-offs), Koroma, Nkrumah and maybe even Alzate.

Unfortunately Alzate is out of contract this summer so won’t be getting any sell on fee.
