Seems to have gone AWOL ?

Posted: **Sat Sep 19, 2026 5:26 pm**

DV will sort it out.

I expect he'll come out swinging in the interview after that win

Posted: **Sat Sep 19, 2026 6:48 pm**

Something odd going on unless he’s not well

Posted: **Sat Sep 19, 2026 6:50 pm**

He was in gallery today

According to DV he went down the tunnel straight after the whistle. PT took the post interview. Is he tired of hearing the fans having a go at him on this forum.

Its only natural we're going to ask about Richie's whereabouts . I hope somebody ask's Paul that question

Posted: **Sat Sep 19, 2026 7:13 pm**

I've just listened to Paul Terry's post match interview and no mention of Richie . It's a bit odd .

Something has gone on no Richie again

It's been toxic on the Facebook supporters group, some keep saying Wellens must go if we lose today, criticising Charlie, nepotism, basically similar to some on here

But the thing is, Ritchie's mum is on there & if you keep reading that stuff about your own Son & Grandson & then tell him, no wonder he's avoiding fans.
I know people will say that's part & parcel of being involved in football & also Irene shouldn't be on the group but it doesn't change it that Ritchie is someone's son & his own son is being slagged off constantly.

Out of interest Hoover, have you got a son?
Just asking?

This is absolute nonsense. He’s got a job to do. Do it. Stop throwing a tantrum because of some hurty words.

Ah, I'm not on Facebook so wouldn't know about any of this stuff . However I bet it's the same people who post negatively on here . If Richie leaves and we go straight downhill we'll know who to blame

That's a fine argument in itself for not signing your son(s) Causes complications that wouldn't otherwise be part of daily management duties

Posted: **Sat Sep 19, 2026 7:37 pm**

Just listened to Dave Victor's interview and Paul just said Richie was in the dressing room talking to the players and asked him to take the interview . Hopefully it's nothing and we're over thinking this .

The suggestion that a manager of a professional football club is refusing to undertake basic duties such as being on the touchline during first team league fixtures and conducting post match interviews with official media channels because some fans posted unflattering things on Facebook is utterly f*cking bonkers.

Terry did the pre-match interview as well. He also did pre and post-match for the #BTeamBoycott Cup.

But likely very true. Missing 2 Interviews, not being on the touch line for the match and straight down the tunnel after the final whistle without acknowledging the fans.

Definitely something not right.

Another possibility is Richie knows what is being said on social media and he is upset. Probably doesn’t want to take any interviews at the moment in case he says something he is going to regret saying later. As far as I’m concerned, we have some real morons following this club and if we hound out one of the best managers we’ve ever had and things go South we’ll know who to blame

What bit is bonkers?

That Richie has reacted like this or that people are suggesting that’s what’s happened?

Of course this is what’s happened.

The suggestion is bonkers. But if it’s genuinely the reason Wellens is acting like this that’s f*cking mental as well.

Wow.

So why do you reckon Richie has suddenly stopped giving interviews and clapping the fans post match?
