God I hope not, I'll be leading the Chorus of Abdallah out if it is. 20th, 10th & 10th in L2 in his 3 seasons in charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisRichard Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I'm surprised it's now that he has gone. If you were to make the decision, it could have been made in the days after Northampton. It must be that AL has had someone lined up and they are now available. I do feel a little sorry for Richie. Although we did go down with him in charge, he had a very difficult job in trying to keep us up in the climate that we found ourselves in. I wish him good luck where ever he goes. And equally more to the bloke that takes over from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merge-o-matic machine is a patented device designed to consolidate all of RW's selections into one consistent, coherent team with balance, understanding and cohesion across and between defence, midfield and attack. Under current knowledge it is not possible to build a working Merge-o-matic machine, although some academics believe that the design can, in theory, be made to work.

Perhaps that's why he's been sacked. If he's just got back from 2 weeks holiday he should be concentrating on getting players signed and out of the club not going off to Mexico., Edited June 8, 2018 by Smiler13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boys in Blue Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Who cares if it was done over the phone? Would it be better to do it in the arrivals of Manchester airport? If someone wants to understand the term ‘poor form’, they should’ve seen January or April/May. That was poor form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheLatics Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I normally want managers to hang around, but I'm not bothered by the Wellens decision. His reaction leading up to relegation and his pathetic reaction to its confirmation left a sour taste in my mouth. Having said that, if we sacked him over the phone that is equally pathetic and that needs to be justified - if it can. Strange timing and somewhat disrespectful to sack him now, having just stood and unveiled Baxter. We've been sold a bill of goods during the last 12 month. Hopefully we'll cease clapping along to whatever the social media kids post up and analyse a new set-up that is making amateur mistakes all over the shop. Will Scholes still be licking his lips? Doubtful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
