Midsblue Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 But didn't Mike Keegan confirm that he was interviewed for the position. Surely Mike would have checked with club sources before confirming this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting then that Abdullah is already being referred to as owner. As with others I can't see why Seedorf would be at all bothered about the facilities at BP if wasn't some sort of interest on either side.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but Martin Jol (yeah him) is now fourth favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think this Abdallah chap might have much more to bring to the table than first envisaged. Even if nothing comes of it, he's had the clout to drag Clarence fuckin Seedorf to Boundary Park!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShireBlue Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 According to BBC final score, Seedorf maybe more of an advisory role and the players want Ritchie Wellens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading between the lines, could he end up as a board member if he's a mate of Lemsagam? That could work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Wellens has earned the opportunity to continue in the role. Whether that's permanent is up for discussion. Would TP want to continue assisting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels right seeing TP on the touchline, somebody like Wellens is going to benefit massively from having him alongside him. But we all know where he would rather be, which is a shame because we do seem to thrive when TP is involved with the 1st team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always seem to do well when TP is helping out can't be just a coincidence shame he won't take it on full time he's happy just doing his youth role, I would be all for a Wellens and TP team, Wellens clearly knows his stuff and should be seriously considered I think majority of fans can get behind him !

Midsblue Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 At the moment I don't give a stuff about a new manager. Securing Doyle, Byrne and Bryan for the rest of this season and ideally beyond is crucial. Doyle, whilst not leading scorer at this moment, he's the most prolific in league one with one goal every 90 minutes. Lemsagam's first job is to switch his loan to a permanent - same with Byrne. Both unwanted and the extra few grand a week on each will be worthwhile when we reflect come May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedtobeWozzer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Obviously if Seedorf (or Jol) are realistic possibilities those avenues should be explored but RW is doing himself no harm at all. We took a chance on somebody at the end of their playing career 35 years ago who gave us our best period since before the 1st world war, clearly not certain that Wellens can emulate that but the players seem to be buying into him and the passion he has is clear from the interviews. He also seems to know how to set a team up and has spotted the weknesses in the team from only 7 days ago. He deserves our support if he’s appointed that’s for damn sure.

Allow him to tinker with Lemsagam's support and finances; lets build for that future. Sounds very focussed. Good man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
