I agree . Anyway personally all I want from this season to stay in League 1 and a good cup draw in the third round .gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2024 6:57 pm The never getting promoted line is interesting compared to Nigel's "exciting signings" talk in summer.

Same here .I rate Richie very highly .
Richie is far from the problem here, there’s only so much any manager can do given the limitations that we currently have with this squad. He’s been given some backing that we as a club can afford but we clearly need new blood in January and hopefully the prize money won today could help us.
Yes we were really lucky today.
I think the players gave their all, and people should accept that some have more ability and talent than othersB.whitehouse+10more wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2024 11:46 am I think Ritchie is an honest guy, if he says the players are giving their all I believe him, after all he has called out players in his previous interviews when they have been underperforming. I don’t think the majority of people on here post so called ‘ negative’ comments it’s just reaction when you are upset at another defeat it’s a natural response the same people post positive comments when we are winning. However there are one or two who continually put the club down encouraging negativity for their own agenda, they know who they are so do a lot of the genuine supporters.
Up the O’s, hope we get a great draw in the 3rd round
You keep repeating this, but there's no evidence hes 'given' players. I don't think he'd stand for it.

Refer to January transfer window, directly said we were too slow in signing the senior pro striker and with a few mins left was given the choice of the two loan kids or nothing.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2024 2:38 pmYou keep repeating this, but there's no evidence hes 'given' players.

Hear what you say, and when El Miz landed, from memory it was RW who had previously refused other suggestions until he got his man, so that does imply it’s joined up, as it should be. I think it was telling Nigel’s comment at the Fans Forum a week or so back on recruitment being poor or whatever his words were, he won’t let it be, I expect something to change and hopefully for the better, fingers crossed.Mistadobalina wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2024 2:54 pm It's hard to imagine he didn't have a pretty big input into DJs signing, having worked with him before, and he's been one of our worst players. Likewise he obviously really wanted Kelman back, who's been middling. Supposedly was the one pushing for Warrington as well, who's been anonymous. The idea that scrapping the dof position and handing recruitment to Wellens will be a silver bullet for us doesn't stack up.

Problem is that our budget has been used up.EastDerehamO wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2024 3:33 pmHear what you say, and when El Miz landed, from memory it was RW who had previously refused other suggestions until he got his man, so that does imply it’s joined up, as it should be.

Between the somewhat mixed messages it appeared there were two, one was missed out on because of the club being slow, the other near the end of the window being the selling club messing about as you mention.Long slender neck wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2024 4:08 pm I remember being said that it fell through because of the selling club
