AmyLGK Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 please move this if its in the wrong place... but... AMAZING.... http://www1.skysport...es-for-attitude On-loan midfielder Richie Wellens has hit out at the 'cosy' atmosphere at Ipswich and claimed he cannot see the club ever winning a game unless attitudes change.Ipswich are currently four points adrift at the bottom of the Championship - a run of form that has seen manager Paul Jewellsacked. And Wellens, who has been at the club less than a month since signing on a short-term deal from Leicester, feels more changes are required if they are to escape the drop. "A new manager needs to come in and put a rocket under their backsides because there are not enough people who show they care about losing a game of football or even their own careers," said the 32-year-old, quoted in the Daily Express. "A new manager needs to come in and put a rocket under their backsides because there are not enough people who show they care about losing a game of football or even their own careers." Ritchie WellensQuotes of the week "One of the coaches said that the old manager got stick for bringing in loan players, but it is the loan players who are showing they care and that is a sad indication of what is wrong. "We need people to show passion, to show they care. It is difficult when you are getting the ball and no one else wants it. It is human nature when you are under pressure to go and hide but we need a better attitude, and to act like men. "I have always thought of Ipswich as a nice club and that was confirmed when I got here. It is a little too easy, too cosy. "I can't see Ipswich ever winning a game unless they are at their best and everything is going for them. To be a strong club in the Championship you have to win when things are not going well. "I can fully understand why the club have been done by five and six goals this season."
MattyFromLE Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Can't imagine that'd go down too well with the other lads in the team...maybe it's part of the plan. Agent Wellens. Hmmmm.
Fox92 Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 He knows his stuff, and he is probably correct in this situation. When interviewed for Leicester, he has always spoken sense. We all know whose to blame tho!
OzFox Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Guess that rules out a permanent move then. Ho hum.
AmyLGK Posted 29 October 2012 Author Posted 29 October 2012 I flipping love Wellens! He must have such massive BALLS!
1964FOX Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Clever lad, the worst thing that can happen is he will be retured to his parent club on a very nice wage and just tick along with the possibility of getting a game (the Wellens of two seasons ago was just wat we needed Saturday). The alternative is that the fans who are very pissed off with their club and actually saying very similar on forums, twitter and the like will see it as a breath of fresh air and he will become a favourite. Whatever happens it clearly will be his fault.
Dan Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 I've got to say fair fvcks, he's got a pair of bollocks and seems to genuinely care even if it's just a loan move, fair play to him. It's obviously his fault though. WELLENS.
TrentFox Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Guess that rules out a permanent move then. Ho hum. I reckon he's angling for a permanent move by playing to the fans' emotions.
Corky Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 I hope during the interview he stood there visibly pointing out the faults of others, like he does on the pitch
Basingstoke Fox Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 He also said the following regarding their managerial appointment: It is not my place to say about that. They need to get to get the decision right because we had it at Leicester. They sacked Nigel Pearson who was doing a good job but then we had to go through two or three managers before we got him back and now he is doing very well. Whoever it is needs to get the players on board as soon as possible. Fair play to Richie. It's a very sad state of affairs when a loan player cares more for your club than it's own players. I'm certainly glad that we aren't in that same situation at this time.

Interesting he says 'sacked'.
accessory Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 A couple of facts curiously omitted by our Richie and his few remaining groupies on here. 1) Ipswich have lost all of the four games he has played for them. 2) This is the third October in a row where a manager of a team he plays for has been sacked. If he could pass a football as well as he passes the buck, he'd be at a Champions League club.

Guest Col city fan Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Yes they were doing great before he got there eh! Number 2 is quite ironic though surely?
Mark_w Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Can this be moved to general sport, it's going to be really, really, boring and I want to avoid it.
Jimmy Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 he's still our player, sadly, so it should be in here
Kitchandro Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Number 2 is quite ironic though surely? No doubt But anyone can make an irrational point when they look at things at face value
MPH Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 In all honesty that is exactly what I would want to hear from a player if I was a fan.. good for him.
Bert Posted 29 October 2012 Posted 29 October 2012 Can this be moved to general sport, it's going to be really, really, boring and I want to avoid it. Just don't read it?
Mack Posted 30 October 2012 Posted 30 October 2012 According to some on here mr wellens should be able to win a game of football single handed, anything else is just shit! I honestly despair sometimes.
