Chris Kamara talking on ITV just now; "I'm not having it that Andy Richie didn't want to sign players, I was talking to him in the summer and he had lots of players he wanted to sign including Dele Adebola, but was told by the club that they couldn't afford them"
Maybe he should have targeted Raul to make it more impossible.</p> AR "I'm giving the lads that got us promotion a chance"</p>
This is the man... ...that thought Glyn Hodges should get the job permanently. Ignore him, if only for the fact he has a face like Lionel Richie being rimmed.
Adebola is no Raul Not even a "bums on seats player" really. Just a Championship player. Thats the league we're in innit?
RE: Adebola is no Raul Be intersting to see what Ritchie says when he issues his statement through the PFA won't it? Been supporting the Reds for 40 years and can't ever remember feeling so disappointed that we're being treated as fools - there's some spin going on imo!
RE: Why do you believe... that he's wrong? Might there be some truth in what he says? Could it be that Ritchie did want to sign players? We missed outy on a few before the season and now we're hearing another name - mmmmmmm, I wonder?
Adebola Played 15 for Coventry this season, netting 2.</p> 1. not a good record, Richards is better.</p> 2. No doubt hes on more money than would have paid. </p>
Exactly In any case</p> No matter if people tell the truth in what they say, its what they do not say that is often the crux.</p> Some people on here are simple enough to believe they will be told the whole truth by the person whos opinion suits there own view.</p>
Because I'd believe a guy who's been well respected in the game for over 25 years over a football club chairman any day.
but you don't know either of them Therefore you are forming your opinion on someone you only see in the media. Don Revie was respected in the game for many years and look what a cheating Barsteward he turned out to be.
RE: but you don't know either of them No but I can make my opinion based on what's happened in last few days. Shepherd went to the media criticising Richie. Shepherd wouldn't allow Richie to talk to Weds then sacked him a couple of weeks later. Shepherd promised Richie a new contract then said it wasn't a priority. Shepherd said money wasn't a problem then sold our best player
