Sadly the new owner has put his faith in the latter but hopefully it will all come out in the wash early doors and he'll weed out the deadwood in order his investment comes good, the poor guy must be thinking what the hell have I got myself into? the very least he must of been expecting was to actually stay in the division and built from there. Now his position is now as volatile as the stock market and a massive gamble that could finish him before he's even started, so for folk like mcfluff1985 to come out with such crass, I don't give a shite comments is beyond me. Maybe he should cut his losses and walk now before the new season, shut up shop and adopt the same attitude, then you'd have something proper to be so smug about. In most walks of life that is simply not the case. Anyway, has Wellens said anything about the supporters since relegation? I know he bravely entered the field upon the final whistle and made an almost immediate about-turn when he heard the booing in the away end. About as much courage as a puppy being turned on by a Yorkshire Terrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archiecat Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Never a dull moment at BP, maybe there was something in Lee Sinnott's theory that Wellens was the snitch afterall. Regardless of that,he made a total balls up of last season so can't really complain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Why would you sack a manager under contract if another club wants him? Missing out on compensation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Not sure what to think about this. I thought it would be inevitable that he would be sacked soon after the Northampton game, but when he wasn't I accepted that he would be our manager for the start of the season at least and was happy enough to let him get on with it. The timing is odd but there's still two months for a manager to mould his squad and, hopefully, we'll get a manager in who is an obvious step up. Simon Grayson would do for me just fine.

mick26 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Like others on here I was told RW was out even if we'd stayed up. Pretty ruthless AL as others behind the scenes have already been pushed out. Just hope we don't get a foreign manager/coach, think RW has had the shitty end of the stick with embargos etc but it's a results business.

I'd have had him away before we'd finished clapping the players off but this still leaves time. Makes you wonder if he has continued not to impress. One of his interviews was very whingey which won't have gone down well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Undoubtedly the right end result but the timing is strange as Wellens was never going to walk away. As my son has just texted let's hope "Pierre" is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Play off final was only 10 days ago. Ferguson went a couple of days ago, Tisdale, Heckingbottom, ASkey in the last week. More will follow. Hardly anyone has signed yet. Can count on one hand players we've missed out on. I admit it depends who he brings in though, and how long it takes. My hunch is it won;t be long though. Then we can start worrying... Wellens currently on holiday in Mexico, so not much was happening anyway. Edited June 8, 2018 by singe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Given him and his agents appetite for slagging off the club ever since he's been here I'm not surprised he has been fired off. No doubt in my mind the Daily Mail article played a part. It's almost word for word the tale I got a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The reason I find it hard to believe Wellens was complicit in the Daily rag article is because he couldn't really afford to get sacked if he aspires a career in management. His CV now reads that he's relegated the only club he's managed, a club that hadn't been relegated in 20 years. With a 2.5 mil wage budget (I know they weren't all his signings). Even if things were that bad you'd have thought he'd have just got his head down, try and get some success next season and jump ship when offered a new opportunity. Where does Wellens go from here?
