Leam Richardson (Parts I and II......)

Was TS wrong sacking Liam Richardson?

Was TS wrong sacking Liam Richardson?

He's called Leam, anagram of "lame".

[Old_time_miller]

Ask reading that.

Failure is not always down to one person. More to come out I suspect about MH?s time - LC has alluded to the fact that some players should be carrying the can for what?s gone on this season

[the_idiotb_stardson]

Anyone got the b@lls to commit to a yes or no answer?

[Mr_bukaroo]

Talking about b@lls why don?t you spill what you have supposedly been told about what?s going on inside the club.

Was TS wrong sacking Liam Richardson?

Depends who you're asking.
TS said he was disillusioned with football and had considered selling up if he'd got the right offer....so he would think he'd made the right decision because it enabled him to bring his chubby mate back to rekindle his love of the game.

A lot of people on here said they found Richardson boring and there wasn't any outcry when he got the bullet....so they would think TS had made the right decision. There was also a general feeling that Evans might be able to bring the good times back.

We all know what happened next and can speculate whether Richardson would have done a better job.
Personally I doubt if TS would have backed him anything like as generously as he backed his mate so giving him the bullet was probably the equivalent of a mercy killing.

I'll go.

Not "Part 1", as the question is older than the chairman...

He was the best we've had since Warne. Huge mistake firing him. If that's controversial or revelatory to anyone watching us, you may as well hand your season ticket in and get a fidget spinner.

MT, bad fit, talk with no walk.
SE, dinosaur.
MH, landed some bad apples but architect of his own downfall (and ours).

Good summary.

Leam Richardson part 2

Yes or no.

Did Leam Richardson have any impact on first team performances, during his time in charge?

[Townerslovechild]

No he was hopeless, like this thread.

[MillersCrossing]

No and no. LR has attained the worst points per game of any (modern era) RUFC manager who managed us for over 20 games.

His overall win % was dismal with us.In hind sight, maybe. But personality our current caretaker is far better.
