I think the situation has become untenable now.

Ritchie saying he feels let down and disapointed. Maybe a parting of the ways is the only solution. Id like to see Iain Dowie arrive if Richie goes.

 

iain dowie? the man whos never come out of london in his career apart from the one year in oldham as manager?

 

His family home is still in Oldham.

 

Yes Dowie who left Palace because he wanted to move up North to be with his Family

Who live near Manchester, Only went to Charlton becasue of the Premiership.

 

Iain Dowie?

No thanks.

 

The fact is..

theres not a single manager available who could realistically come here that I could see doing a better job than Ritchie is doing - if anyone wants to name any, then go ahead - I can't think of one.</p>

 

RE: The fact is..

Ian Dowie
Peter Reid
David O leary
George Graham
Steve Claridge
Mark Wright
Graeme Souness
Kevin Keegan
Ron Atkinson
Brian Little
Alex McLeish

And even David Blunkett..

 

Are you on drugs?

Atkinson? Ron Atkinson?
Brian Little?
Graham? etc etc

No chance I'd want the majority on that list

 

Shove the lot up your arse

would be better off getting a few decent players in rather than paying fat cat salarys to has beens,I'm still with Ritchie keep your fecking heads.

 

Agreed

Those managers are all washed-up has-beens or rejects from other clubs.

I'd much rather go with Ritchie...but back him ffs (the board i mean).

If the squad had 3-4 players brought in (only if they'll improve us mindsthi)I think Ritchie will keep us up, and I think he'll do all he can to strengthen.

 

RE: Agreed

I was asked my opnion if there were better managers out there who were better than Ritchie, they may have wage demands that far exceed our budgets but they are all proven on there experience, results etc to be better than Ritchie FACT

 

RE: Agreed

Sorry mate, still don't agree. I don't think it's fact that Ron Atkinson is any better. He's a pillock...FACT. I'd say the same goes for little...why would we want an ex-Tranmere manager who achieved f-all?! Oh...and Steve Claridge?!!!

 

RE: Agreed

In my opinion they have all acheived more than Ritchie, except for Claridge who i think would do a good job for any club.

 

Iain Dowie, thats never gonna happen

 

Fair enough...agree to disagree eh? nt

 

Shepherd is a second rate Chairman who can't make his mind up.

Simple as that. So we're limping on like a wounded animal.

RE: The fact is..

Even if any of that lot wanted the job how the **** would we afford their wages? Sell the entire First Team Squad?

 

RE: Shepherd is a second rate Chairman who can't make his mind up.

Thats unfair, he has brought the club into the black, remember we were 'broke' and has now brought to a head
the fact that AR needs to earn a contract and the present state of affairs are not acceptable.

My guess he will also show that he is capable of sacking AR if the need arises.
