After what Richie has done for the club he deserves a damn sight more time than the next 3 games . However we have signed some sh*t during the Summer so it's going to be difficult to turn things around

He would be given I would think until at least early December. However some if this is his fault. The crap that has come through the door over the summer is probably some of the worst players we have had in a long time. We really have picked up some major sh*t and while we all like bashing ML for any bad player, RW must have had a say on this tripe.

Richie will be here into the new year, at least.
Obviously as the manager he has some of the responsibility, but any manager having to work with such poor players wouldn't do any better.
The cheap summer recruitment is now showing what many of us feared
Players are abysmal, & they're not showing any fight or commitment either

Richie needs to wake up, he needs to go away from what he says as idealistic plan a football and focus more on how to win games, the current malaise isn't doing his career any good nor Orient

I rate Richie highly and think he's a very good quality manager . The real problem is the utter dross he's been given to work with . If anybody is to blame it's the clubs board .

Red, you must be looking at this through rose tinted glasses. If Wellens is as good as you say he is then no matter what quality of player he's got he should still make them competitive and play decent, attacking football.

I think you’re right, and it’s a common mistake, people often do it.

You can’t buy a fiesta and drive it like a Ferrari - it will either blow up or embarrass you

Richie has done the FA badges and has a way he wants to work, he’s watched the systems that the premier league top teams operate and thinks that what he wants us to do. But what he seems to be missing is that he’s unable to adapt his methods to the options available.

You can’t make a silk purse from a sows ear, so, you cut your cloth accordingly. If the players you have can’t play the system you want you either need to change the system or change the players, and I don’t see the manager looking to change the system.

Get into the championship and then start to play ‘man city’ style, but at this moment it’s not working, clearly

Unfortunately he’s literally too good for us. Ling has reached his potential and whilst he remains in place, any manager will have one hand tied behind his back. The squad is better than its position but with a lack of quality and youth it’s always quite easy to slip into bad form and then be in a relegation battle.

I don’t think Richie would get fired though even if we were to go down

He won’t go because they will just coast along until
It is too late to make changes, they are not doing anything with the ball, no ideas. Lord knows what is going through the owner’s minds.
