Wellens is the Manager so buck should stop with him. The owners are not going to throw money at something that has very little assets as Hearn stripped the Club and still owns everything. Ling is pulling Wellen’s strings, Wellens will be taking his wages but cannot perform miracles with the limitations imposed.
Wellens has had multiple interviews saying he is involved in all transfers and Marshall Taylor on Twitter said that no signings come in without Richie’s sign off.
It’s not Wellens,he’s wanted a right winger, did he get one, no he didn’t. He wanted a left back, did he get one, he got a loanie last day of the window, who the f—k scouted this keeper? Why was Kelman brought in when in the last window he wasn’t Wellens choice? He wanted two other players. In short Ling and board are to blame. Personally I think this is as far as we go as a club. It’s just the way it is.
Wellens doesn’t stop banging on about how he loves Kelman. No doubt part of being pissed off last window was that we missed Kelman and got two kidsMonkey Boy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 9:21 amIt’s not Wellens,he’s wanted a right winger, did he get one, no he didn’t.

It's very much a similar discussion to KJ, does the manager get to sign off on the eventual players... probablyRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 8:18 amWellens has had multiple interviews saying he is involved in all transfers and Marshall Taylor on Twitter said that no signings come in without Richie’s sign off.
Obviously he’d have experienced pros but he signed a new contract knowing the budget restrictions.
I’m no Ling fan and think we’d be better off with someone more competent in that job but because everyone loves Richie it doesn’t mean he should swerve any responsibility .
And that means he didn’t want him/doesn’t want him?Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 9:28 amNope when asked on a podcast if Kelman was one of the players he wanted in the January window he said”no”Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 9:26 amWellens doesn’t stop banging on about how he loves Kelman.

Does he get anywhere near his first, second or even third choice before having to end up with a cheap kid on loan... probably not
It's like saying Richie signed off the two loan kids in January and they were his choice, in his own words he was offered them or nothing.
Have a look at the thread I put up yesterday "Value for money", how does so many pros leave get we can't replace them like for like even with a supposed 10% increase?
As you've referred to Richie talks about needing experience but then there's also the "we" chose to go for young loan players rather than L1/L2 pros... hmmm...
He’s going to say that, he’s changed our formation to push Galbraith into a more attacking position in midfield. Now as I’ve said many times so will say it yet again so you can understand Kelman is no CF,wide player maybe? Plus he was a cheap option. Wigan didn’t want him nor do QPR and if we had the sense we should have looked round for a decent free striker at the start of the window.okRich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 12:06 pmAnd that means he didn’t want him/doesn’t want him?Monkey Boy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 9:28 amNope when asked on a podcast if Kelman was one of the players he wanted in the January window he said”no”Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 9:26 am

Even though he has numerous times thats he’s a quality player and has literally changed our formation to get him in the team? Ok
I said weeks ago we needed another CF but it didn't happen .Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Sat Aug 31, 2024 9:48 pm Time will tell. You can’t say oh this has or hasn’t worked after 4 games.
That said, the emerging theme is that we haven’t actually got a CF to complement the system. When Kelman plays wide he looks dangerous but ageyi looks wasted and when ageyi plays wide he looks good but Kelman looks useless.
Yeah you’re right Richie didn’t want KelmanMonkey Boy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 1:42 pmHe’s going to say that, he’s changed our formation to push Galbraith into a more attacking position in midfield.
