Richardson out

[Stranded]

Exactly.

Anyway, if LR is to get the boot then it absolutely has to happen this week and a new appointment ideally needs to be completed before the play-offs are done and dusted so that recruitment is not delayed.

Don’t forget Joe Jacobson and LinkedIn Leam played together at Blackburn too. The whole set up is rather incestuous

*Accrington.

Who are they?

Well Couhig flew in yesterday for these end of season meetings so I would be amazed if we don’t know the outcome by the end of this week one way or another. I’m sure Couhig will do some in house media as well on a variety of topics.

Based on everything I know (nothing) and my gut instinct (unreliable/untested), my belief is that Richardson will be staying.

I think we'll get a letter of some kind from Couhig acknowledging fans complaints about performances and the general poor results. He'll say why he's backing Richardson, promises to strengthen, positivity etc.

He will be given at least this window and the first part of next season to demonstrate an improvement in performances. Couhig and probably Jacobson have backed him to be ‘The One’, and sacking Noel to bring him in now reflects on their decision making. They cannot allow him to fail and would back him in the next window in a way that they would be reluctant to do for a different manager. I expect that he still has their trust and can explain away this season’s shortcomings as part of the process. Remember that he has spent the last part of the season Leamsplaining that in order to reach the lofty heights of sustainability akin to Stockport and Bradford, three or four years are required.
