dandannieldanok Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 Link For not strengthening the squad it would seem. Kind of unsurprising I suppose, definitely not looking like staying up at the moment It seems a pretty rash decision, just like Dowie. I always thought Ritchie was a good manager and still do.

Dr The Singh Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 It seems a pretty rash decision, just like Dowie. I always thought Ritchie was a good manager and still do. Shocking, but if RK is given the boot, there maybe a job for him at barnsley!!!
Milky Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 ritchie sounds like an idiot for not strengthening the squad. Loyalty to the promoted players is all well and good, but when you sit 2nd bottom it doesn't really count for much.
Katy Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 I just read on teletext not 10 minutes ago that he'd offered a load of players up for loan Come on ITV keep up!
The People's Hero Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 We should sack someone. We haven't sacked anyone for ages. Josh Low. Why shouldn't you be sacked? 3.... 2.... 1.... You're sacked mate.
Brummie-FOX Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 I think this is very harsh. Barnsley were never really going to surprise anybody this season. I think this comes too soon.
Bert Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 We should sack someone. We haven't sacked anyone for ages. Josh Low. Why shouldn't you be sacked? 3.... 2.... 1.... You're sacked mate. You can't just sack him. Even if the reason is being shit and costing us a glamour tie against the Premier League Champions. He's doing a law degree you know, he can represent himself.

He's doing a law degree you know, he can represent himself. Of course you can sack someone especially a football player. All you have to do is pay compensation. Football clubs do it all the time.
Wils Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 Of course you can sack someone especially a football player. All you have to do is pay compensation. Football clubs do it all the time. What are we waiting for then.
Janx Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 this is a feckin horror of a decision...stinks of a hush up or some such... Ritchie is the best thing they have had for years, batting at their level, what a crap reason to sack...not buying players! My aunt fanny... something is rotten in the state of 'sleh!!
dandannieldanok Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 What are we waiting for then. Until the takeover is completed we can't afford to pay the compensation.
Stuliasz Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 Interesting quote from 606: I'm gutted, but not surprised. It's been on the cards for a while, especially when he said that no new contract was imminent. I wish Andy all the best, he's done a cracking job to get us into the Champ, but if I have to fault him I'd say he was a bit naive - believing the squad that came up could hold their own. You can sum that up in 2 words - Tommy Wright?? I don't know who we'll get - someone mentioned Dowie but I'm not sure. He stormed out of Palace, and did nothing at Charlton with shed loads of cash. We've got 24 hours to get some loan signings and we need a quality striker and a centre half fast. I do think we'll pull through by May. Just for those few who thought Tommy Wright should never have gone.
Milky Posted 21 November 2006 Posted 21 November 2006 Interesting quote from 606: Just for those few who thought Tommy Wright should never have gone. thanks for digging that up hopefully it will finally shut the tommy lovers up for good
Katy Posted 22 November 2006 Posted 22 November 2006 I think the board were hoping they'd 'do a Colchester' or something.
lcfc_jme Posted 22 November 2006 Posted 22 November 2006 Rash decision. But they are pretty poor this season, although they have been unlucky in a few games I think Maybe it's the new trend, rash decision-making and sacking managers early on. Hope Mandaric hasn't seen this
The People's Hero Posted 22 November 2006 Posted 22 November 2006 They're moaning Ritchie never signed any players. They should get Levein in. They'd have a squad full of sh itters in no time.
vanfox12 Posted 22 November 2006 Posted 22 November 2006 Apparently the official reason he got the sack was because the Chairman wanted to bring someone in to work alongside him but he said no. Sounds like the sort of thing our Prospective new owner would do.
