Given
- a bigger club with genuine Championship potential/background (proven over the last X seasons)
- a bigger salary
- closer to my roots
I personally would jump at the chance, and can't believe he would be any different.

However they don't have a bottomless pit of money to spend that other clubs can. However other clubs with bigger budgets have higher expectations, for example Barnsley make the playoffs and despite this Neill Collin is gone in less than nine moths. Richie has already been dumped twice and has said many times he appreciates his relationship with our owners. I think he will think very carefully before jumping ship.

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?

The 13/14 team would shred us into very little pieces.

I agree . That Orient team had no weaknesses . On the day at Wembley I think we were just unlucky .

Yes his full name was Unlucky Jones.
