Even Penney managed three wins on the spin. For you it may be nothing, For many it is a distant memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 For me, it's far too early to judge if RW is the right man for the job yet. He has done a great job so far and speaks really well, showing knowledge and nouse. If a different manager were brought with experience he could be judged on that experience and his knowledge at interview. However he has done well enough to earn an extended run, to see how he reacts when we lose some games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting though, where that leaves the investor situation, and any input they had. He did say Stubbs was 99% there, and that Wellens told too inexperienced. So quite a bit of backtracking. I'm open minded as to whether he is legit though. Edited October 5, 2017 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Perimeter West Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Maybe its all gone tits up no new owners no mega money Richie gets it on the cheap option doing well though!!! Sheridan out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losesome Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Given the current situation and the way things have gone since Shez left I cant think of one single reason why he SHOULDN'T be given the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Wellens has got us playing some of the best football we've seen in years. Watching the highlights I actually want to go to the games which hasn't been the case over the past few seasons.

Lags Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 7 hours ago, Andy Perimeter West said: Bryne said in his interview Richie Wellens approached him first and then Sheridan so was that a great find by Richie? I think he said that Wellens was the first one to meet him when he came to the club. IE welcome him, show him around and introduce him to his new team mates.

Seem to remember playing 1 up front a lot at home....zzzzzzz. In fact Talbot, Wadsworth (another with a good win ratio), Warnock, Moore, Penny, Kelly, Robinson...jeez we have had to put up with some god awful football at times, even when winning. Ritchie, Dickov, Sheridan, Johnson - whilst not always successful did at least seem to understand that it is an entertainment industry at its heart. Wellens so far seems to fit into this group as well. Dowie was always an odd one. Results wise did well (away more than home) but they were offen not as entertaining as the players we had should have been capable of producing.

Wardie Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I remember watching the Latics take on Huddersfield at BP, back in late 2002 I was there with my two daughters and one of them said "Dad, look. The scoreboard says 1-0 already." This was in the first minute, as the match started and about two minutes in, Clyde Wijnhard scored, much to the amusement of my daughters who then believed the scoreboard was psychic. I think Latics won 4-0 and it was the fifth or sixth win on the bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean gregan has left Darlington after 5 days due to a conflict of interests BBC sports are reporting, he could be the ideal right hand man to help wellens.
