Kelman-RW says fans have cost us £millions

[PKM]

RW in his interview was waxing lyrical on Charlie
He said only frustration is he should be a permanent Orient player.
He said fans don’t trust him to pick the players, Charlie reads social media/posts re why are we signing Kelmannetc etc and goes for a season loan instead of a transfer.
RW said Charlie now worth millions.
Maybe some ‘fans’ might think twice about digging out players before they’ve even kicked a ball for us
Ok, Charlie’s second loan but what we got was a very different and much improved CK from the first loan, and he weren’t too bad then!
Now we’ve got to find a 20 goal player for next season.

[Give it to Jabo]

yeah but footballers are not wallflowers, they know that fans can be fickle.
- love kelman, by the way.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Full on mental to blame the fans for us not buying him. For numerous reasons but mainly because it’s on Charlie if he lets a few posts on a message board influence him into making a bad decision.

Richie should be careful with what he says

[Long slender neck]

Bitchy Richie strikes again

[Cheshunto]

Players need to have fairly thick skins and whoever they play for, QPR or Orient or whoever, some fans will criticise while others will praise. Players unfortunately just have to live with it and do their best.

Hope Hemming didn’t read our message board.

‘Hope Hemming didn’t read our message board.’

I hope so too!

[DuvB]

I have always been against slagging off our players. The negativity can now been seen to have affected the players we sign. I wish these fans would stop it but of course they wont.

[Long slender neck]

I reckon kelman does not know we exist, he's more likely to have read twitter or instagram

[RedDwarf 1881]

Players like Charlie Kelman and Jack Currie are the standard of players the new consortium needs to sign if they want us in the Championship. If not I can’t see us progressing.
Edit, By the way I don’t know any Orient Supporter that doesn’t love Charlie and want him to stay

[Pugwash]

Charlie musn't have read what QPR, Reading & Wigan fans have said about him. Players are very Fickle

[POSHO]

I must admit RW's arrogance is beginning to get to me. He doesn't have to pay to get to away matches, he doesn't have to worry about work or school the next day . He can reschedule his work and I'm sure he earns a lot more than many of the fans.

[Give it to Jabo]

agree with all of the above, he does want the best for the Os, though..

Personally speaking after what Richie has achieved for us I trust him to pick the players without question . Not only that he knows a damn sight more about players than I do. Whoever he signs or lets go is fine by me

Good points. All so called fans please note.

Criticism of RW must be constructive, positive and uplifting to his over inflated ego.

[gshaw]

Hmmm quite a strange one this, I remember those social media comments (being one of those in the seeming minority who was happy to see Kelman return) but they were after the deal was announced so... how does that work? Or is Richie referring to what was being said in the January 2024 window when we apparently weren't after Kelman but his name was rumoured pretty strongly?

As for the away game attendances blame the EFL and Sky, fans are tired of the rearranged schedules. Worst fixture calendar this season by a long chalk. I get RW wants more backing for the last few games but that could've been phrased a bit better.

Hope Hemming didn’t read our message board.

When you perform as poorly as he did, Sunday League standard you're going to get slated. Professional footballers get paid a handsome amount for what they do, got no time for this idea they should be wrapped in social media cotton wool.

[Bandy Legs]

Careful now chaps, we dont want Richie to Bugger off

[POSHO]

Why he will go some day.

Not listened to the interview but he's probably remarking about either the latest window or more likely this time last year. There isn't a fan who would not ake Charlie now but there were quite a few when his name was being mentioned as a summer signing.

Totally agree.

Totally agree.

There has to be better out there.

Whinging Wellens strikes again

[ContrifibulatoryFred]

To be honest there was a lot of whingeing along the lines of Drinan Mk II on this MB when Charlie was re-signed on loan.
Of course people are entitled to their opinions on incoming players but it would be good if we as fans can avoid a collective pile on when discussing such matters.
I’m as guilty as anyone in this regard

I don't find him arrogant. He has a belief in his own abilities for sure but you need that in football. I'm struggling why anyone would want to dig Richie out to be honest. If only we hadn't had Hemming in goal at the start of the season we'd be comfortably in the playoffs, possibly pushing for automatic promotion.

[Winchestorfan]

Criticising players and management is totally unproductive as what does it achieve?

In the case of Monkey Boy I trust he will apologise for what he said less than a year ago about CK. I think MB should stop talking about things he knows nothing about.

To all the other sad fans who mock and criticise our club players and management, go and support someone else! I have far more faith in RW than in Monkey Boy’s garbage.

Perhaps Monkey Boy would, for once, shut up and show some respect or does he class RW as a waste of space too?

Monkey Boy are you enjoying the very mild criticism here or is it like water off a monkey’s back?

And tbf it was unfounded. At that point, before he went to Wigan, he’d played 110 league games and scored 15 league goals. Think Richie and Charlie are being a bit precious here
