Richardson out

[ILoveMoonPig]

To be fair, the club didn't give Brogue a chance to break the news first.

Credit where credit is due, I first saw that Hunt has gone from Brogue's post on here

[Forbury Lion]

Should never have been appointed.

He's achieved nothing since he came here.

[Snowflake Royal]

Could you just delete the thread please Forbes.

The last thing we need is an easy place to troll or encourage shit posting about Richardson every time a result doesn't go perfectly.

[Brogue]

Dreadful. We’re going backwards under him. Knew we would. He will be fired before the end of the season, but not before we are as good as relegated. He needs to go NOW. And couhig needs to sell up.

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Oh LEAM

[Getthebeerens]

Looking worse than we did under Hunt, but at least we have a clear style of play now.

Hoping this is some short term pain. I understand they are doing a lot of double sessions as the management team are not happy with players fitness and injuries. Someone has paid the price for that in the sport science team.

Was hoping a good run over Christmas would hopefully push us towards a play off challenge but it now looks like a relegation battle. Not signing another striker has really killed us. Will be a struggle to motivate myself to go on Thursday.

If any player/owner/investor/coach mentions the play offs again this season can we harass them out of town?

[Sutekh]

I love the patience that is unique to football fans. He’s had a month and zero transfer windows to try and sort things out with a load of largely inexperienced youngsters and free transfer cast offs he wasn’t responsible for bringing in. He is obviously not a Mark McGhee or Alan Pardew (let alone a Brian (and things got decidedly worse under him at first) or a Steve) so it is going to take the rest of this season to get things onto whatever lines he wants to develop. Not having any money to spend is also going to be a big show stopper and delay things further.

Sadly the way of the world now.

The club is a mess.

Have we got no money to spend?

You’ve got to have something to aim for

[AthleticoSpizz]

The net would be nice

Need a CF for that

I’ve not seen anything that tells me we haven’t made a terrible mistake hiring LR.

I hope im proven wrong. A big performance required Thursday.

Was easy to make Hunt the scape goat,,,,,,,,,,,,

Financial implcations for any club of relegation is now so severe. Owners resort to rolling the dice. There's no actual long term strategy.

The concern of panic buying will be contract lengths; you need players to fulfil a short term need, but they hold out for a longer contract as they know you're desperate. I already think we've seen that with Marriot and Ritchie.

If we stay up but have an uninspiring season, next season's rebuild gets harder when we have a load of mid-30s players and L1 journeymen locked into long term contracts. It's the cycle we saw with Dai in the Championship.

I’m happy to give LEAM time, he’s inherited a mess of a club.

One thing I will say, I know often manager interviews are pretty empty conversations but I’m not sure I’ve heard a manager waffle and use so many words to say so little before.

Apparently we lost because none of our players had played at valley parade before

His last two post match interviews are fcuking weird

Apart from Paudie O'Connor who played 115 games for them.
