"The club are trying to do the championship on the cheap"</p> "Shepherd says Ritchie is difficult to talk to"</p> etc etc</p> Ho ho, lots of accusations there chaps. Hope you are all condident in your sources of information.</p>
Open your eyes and ears. Everything I have said in my posts is in the public domain. All came from interviews which were reported the media.
It came from a Thursday evening interview with Shep on Radio De Dah towards the end of last season. He was asked if he would be having a word with AR on something I can't remember and he just said that AR was difficult to talk to. I didn't think much of it at the time.
So taking one comment and ignoring the context we get that.</p> imho I think you can't wait to re-affirm your original stance that Ritchie isn't up to the job, and you'll use anything to back it up with.</p> It's your opinion and you may well be proved correct, but backtracking after promotion and now clutching at anything in order to have a go at Ritchie is a pretty poor show, again imho.</p>
I didn't think I back tracked on promotion. I said at the time that AR made hard work on reaching the play offs. I didn't for one minute except AR's view that were overachieving last season. I think we underachieved in that we should have had automatic promotion. If Swansea and Forest hadn't bottled it on the run in we wouldn't even have got to the play offs. Look at how many drawn games we had after taking the lead. I praised AR for getting his tactics right against Walsall, Huddersfield away and at Cardiff. I also said the real test would be how AR handled this season. I sincerely hope I am wrong about AR because unless I am this club we love willl be playing ale house football again next season.
Spineless cretin. As Jay states - you said you'd be 100% behind Ritchie after the play-off victory. Now you say we should've been up automatically (against teams such as Swansea who were throwing £300k about here there & everywhere). You make Roundsman sound reasonable.
