Andy Ritchie

[Seagull over SW France]

Could he do a job alongside Dean Wilkins? Shove the County League manager back to his chief scouting role whatever that is.
Even if it was only until another job came along....I feel that he could be useful?

 

[Parson Henry]

Doubt he 'd relocate for a temp asst job.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Er, no. And no. And no again. No.

Useful to whom? Why would Wendy want a reasonably successful Manager looking over his shoulder every five minutes. Any minor dissagreement would be seized on by his critics and blown out of all proportion, added to that it's hardly going to give Wendy a warm feeling that his job is safe. Finally, why would Ritchie want to move all the way down south (up rooting family etc) to be a bit part on buggerall wages.
Sorry but a very bad idea

Er why not?

 

[Man of Harveys]

Er why not?

Because he's crap.
Because we don't need him.
Because we probably can't afford him.
Because there's virtually no obvious benefit.
Because if the money was available, I'd rather it went on trying to secure someone like Whing permanently.
Because the last thing a promising but young manager needs is an old failure looking to push him out of the way at the first opportunity.

Heres the abbreviated version..

Just BECAUSE!

Could have stopped at the first one really.

Only made what I thought was a sensible suggestion,don't wish to get personal,but think you have a problem with anyone expressing an opinion(not the first time you've given me shit). Surely the players budget is seperate to the management budget,and I was under the impression that we were on the lookout for someone to help Wilkins out....other than Chapman,who has his work cut out at Whitehawk...calm down!!!!!

Ritchie is hardly crap, he got Barnsley up on a shoestring but having said that, why would Deano need help ? He's doing pretty well so far. Leave well alone.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'm really, truly sorry for disagreeing with someone's idea. I kind-of thought that was the point but obviously that's not the case.

So - Andy Ritchie would be brilliant for us. Anything other than hiring him would be a big mistake on the part of Dick Knight.

Errrrr you did ask why not !!!! Not much shit in there really just expressing an opinion I reckon

 

[Seagull over SW France]

Sorry mate,you're out of order....so if your point is to disagree,then fair enough ,I only said that maybe while looking for another job he helped out at ours...not take over....there are worse things happening in the world than throwing your toys out of the pram,because you disagree!!!then again....

Some good reasons there apart from the first, there is no way Andy Ritchie is a crap manager. More that the Barnsley board are short-termist idiots.
