Maybe his way of saying "it's not my fault" if the fans are not happy with how the transfer window wentRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:21 am Slightly concerning that Richie said the Jan window didn’t concern him and that it’s lings job to bring what’s needed in.

It’s very concerning, if the club are serious about keeping RW they have to supply the funds needed to bring in who RW wants.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:21 am Slightly concerning that Richie said the Jan window didn’t concern him and that it’s lings job to bring what’s needed in.

That’s even more worrying, sounds like he has been told there are no funds available to bring in who he actually wants and is going to have to put up with who Ling and the recruitment team identify, very, very worrying !!Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:35 pmHe said "I'm not bothered about that at all, I'll leave that to Lingy and the recruitment team, we do need a couple"Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:21 am Slightly concerning that Richie said the Jan window didn’t concern him and that it’s lings job to bring what’s needed in.

And
"Transfer window is not in the forefront of my mind, I'm trying to get the best out of the players we've got"
That's how it came across to me too, especially when compared with a few weeks ago when he was asking for more experience needing to be brought in.PoundhillO wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 5:03 pmThat’s even more worrying, sounds like he has been told there are no funds available to bring in who he actually wants and is going to have to put up with who Ling and the recruitment team identify, very, very worrying !!Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 4:35 pmHe said "I'm not bothered about that at all, I'll leave that to Lingy and the recruitment team, we do need a couple"Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:21 am Slightly concerning that Richie said the Jan window didn’t concern him and that it’s lings job to bring what’s needed in.

Why worrying? Just confirming what a lot of people believe it’s in Ling’s hands and always has been!Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:21 am Slightly concerning that Richie said the Jan window didn’t concern him and that it’s lings job to bring what’s needed in.

Their is no chance we will reach the playoffs.We possibly need 8 wins from 23 games to stay up. Good players are hard to get in the January window. So we stay up and concentrate on getting good players in the summer. The likes of Drinan ,Moncur ,Hunt Prately and possibly Piggot will free up a lot of cash to really buy into the market for next seasonHoover Attack wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 8:13 pm Very worrying.
He’s clearly not impressed with who we’ve got lined up and thrown it firmly at the door of Lingy and the recruitment team.
I know who I would trust between RW and ML.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 8:40 pm It's the first time I've heard Richie state it's in the hands of others...

As it stands RW can stand behind a mid-tableb position at the halfway point despite injuries and dubious recruitment for our main striker. If we don't strengthen in January and we get left behind by the competition then that lies elsewhere.

and he knew that a couple of weeks ago when he spoke to Dulcet Dave. We need to move out two or three squad players and bring in a couple of loans until the end of the season. I imagine Cooper will go back to Swansea and they will have to try and move on a couple more. Not easy but if we haven't got the money not a lot we can do.
Money is there.

The budget has been spent - They put their hands in their pockets every week to keep the club running. who do you think covers our weekly losses.BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:19 pmMoney is there.

He knew the budget though I do wonder if he knew it'd be spent on Pigott whether he would've made different demands...Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:15 pm

When the O's sign a player it's always a gamble you should have worked that out by now, we can't throw big wages about to attract the best players at our level. Pigott has been hit and mainly miss throughout his career but when he became available RW wanted him. As someone said on the board yesterday he doesn't really fit in our system and he's not an out and out centre forward.gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:26 pmHe knew the budget though I do wonder if he knew it'd be spent on Pigott whether he would've made different demands...Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:15 pm

Spot on , if it wasn’t RW that personally wanted Pigott he has a right to be extremely angry, so who decided on bring Pigott in is the key question ?gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:26 pmHe knew the budget though I do wonder if he knew it'd be spent on Pigott whether he would've made different demands...Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:15 pm

The story that's been told on FB was that it was all set for McKirdy but once that fell through due to his medical issue Pigott was the panic signing as it was getting late to sign anyonePoundhillO wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:58 pmSpot on , if it wasn’t RW that personally wanted Pigott he has a right to be extremely angry, so who decided on bring Pigott in is the key question ?gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:26 pmHe knew the budget though I do wonder if he knew it'd be spent on Pigott whether he would've made different demands...Top of the JES wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:15 pm

Would kike to no source but yeah, that's the only way his signing makes any sense. I think he's ok but he just isn't a Wellens player and doesn't fit. The same as with players like Harry Smith, who he inherited, and George Moncur who I understand was also forced on him.gshaw wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 12:33 amThe story that's been told on FB was that it was all set for McKirdy but once that fell through due to his medical issue Pigott was the panic signing as it was getting late to sign anyonePoundhillO wrote: ↑Sat Dec 30, 2023 11:58 pmSpot on , if it wasn’t RW that personally wanted Pigott he has a right to be extremely angry, so who decided on bring Pigott in is the key question ?
It's true we wanted Harry McKirdy and he was our first choice but nothing we could do about his medical condition. Sowe had to change targets late on in the window and Pigott had negotiated his contract release at Ipswich and we approached him but he was wanted by RW.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sun Dec 31, 2023 9:22 amWould kike to no source but yeah, that's the only way his signing makes any sense.
