If he does go(and I sincerely hope he doesn’t) think he will go back up north. Put yourself in his shoes, if you were offered a better paid job a bigger club and the chance to be nearer you family would you take it?. Like I said previously I hope he doesn’t but if he does I hope the club don’t go through 6/7 managers to get a decent replacement

Sounds like he's off. Never mind. Plenty more fish in the sea.

Tuffers ain't even in the top 100. Thats how good Wellens has been for this club and its supporters.

I posted on that thread, saying words to the effect, that an extended contract means absolutely nothing, because managers go when they get a better job offer, and this piece of paper that Richie signed wont stop that.

He may or may not have/get an offer from Reading FC to be their manager, at an improved salary, and he may leave us this summer to accept that offer.

Personally, I dont think Reading is much of an improvement to be honest, and I dont think he'll accept it ( if its offered), but I wouldnt bet my house on that premise.
Something thats worrying me a tad is this......Richies value as a good coach/manager is high at the moment, but if he stays with us, and we struggle a bit in league 1, then Richies stock is devalued, and he might decide to take the job ( if its offered), whilst hes in demand.
I do believe Richie likes it at Orient, but hes fiercely ambitious, and when a good job, working higher in the league structure comes along he will go..
I hope that day is a long time coming, but we shall see
