Richie Wellens

[mrfrostsdad]

Has I'm led to believe, been playing for the development side this afternoon.
What's the betting he stays now that Dickov has gone?

[wing commander]

  God I hope not...He wouldn't have pulled on his shirt today for me..Waste of a place...Remember it isn't just Dickov who has a problem with Wellens..Theres 2 first teamers who would drive him over the penines tomorrow....

[The Red Baron]

He played about an hour. Maybe someone was having a look at him?

[eastender]

He can't stay .... he's said he wants to be nearer home , a change of manager shouldn't make any difference unless it was all bull. 

[mrfrostsdad]

Maybe someone was having a look at him.
Personally, I think we need him. And all that old warlocks that Dickov said about no problems between Richie and him was exactly that: a load of old warlocks!!

[dickos1]

Well we will find out now.
If he stays we know they did fall out if he goes then maybe they were telling truth

There are players who don't like each other, some are submissive and others have forcefull views but they have worked together as they do in different walks of life.

There 2 or more players that I would drive away from the club. Who this season like Wellens have been well below their best.

[Colin C No.3]

The new manager will decide.

[Yorkiered]

If you listen to PD's interview when asked about Wellens it seemed pretty clear to me that there were reasons he wanted to move closer to home and as PD said it wasn't for "personal reasons"
I don't know anything but it wouldn't surprise me if his decision was made due to "travelling difficulties"

[les@donr]

I wonder if Wellens was leading an anti-Dickov faction in the Dressing Room and this was affecting team performances, so the Board had to act to sack PD.

[mushRTID]

Let him go at least the new man will have some funds freed up by his departure.

[GazLaz]

He's been banned from driving hasn't he? That's the reason.

[Colemans Left Hook]

He's been banned from driving hasn't he? That's the reason.

WOULDN'T FOR A MOMENT SAY "ON YER BIKE"

[The Red Baron]

He's been banned from driving hasn't he? That's the reason.

Has he? Haven't seen anything in the papers to that effect.

Footballer banned from driving usually gets into the press.

No. He wasn't.

So it will be interesting if he suddenly changes his mind and decides that travelling is no longer an issue for him

No. He wasn't.

A lot of things happen that don't get into the papers.

[A9]

He can't drive anymore. Nothing more sinister than that. No bust up, just can't drive to work.

[GazLaz]

He can't drive anymore. Nothing more sinister than that. No bust up, just can't drive to work.

Exactly. People should know the facts before they start slating him.

[esdailles left foot]

Well he was driving pre season 'cos i saw him?

[Donnywolf]

He can't drive anymore. Nothing more sinister than that. No bust up, just can't drive to work.

Exactly. People should know the facts before they start slating him.

Indeed ... lets see what happens when the facts DO surface

[Al4475]

And not just on the Wellens front!

[pib]

I could see for myself that Wellens wasn't very mobile any more but I didn't know that.

[bally1950]

I have no time for Wellens but the reasons are his and his business alone

[Donnywolf]

And not just on the Wellens front!

Indeed !

[dknward2]

Maybe rob wanted to see if hes still got it

[Draytonian III]

Why can't Wellens drive to work if he's not banned

[Sammy Chung was King]

Or get on a Greenline, as Del used to say!, None of us really know the facts on him why he wants to leave, we guess like we all do on most things involving the club.
On his performances on the pitch, he hasn't done it for a long time.

[wing commander]

He can't drive anymore. Nothing more sinister than that. No bust up, just can't drive to work.

    Alternatively Gaz you could say that any bad feeling or issues  always seems to include Wellens one way or another..So Yes I'm slating him..I'm fed up with his mardy crying and moaning...I wouldn't care if he was still good...Get him on his way as quick as we can before the new manager comes in...

[acko]

i would(if he wanted to stay)keep wellens a new manager could revitalise him.as for falling out with fellow team members is not uncommon,andy cole and teddy sheringham never spoke but on the field they both did their job for club and country.
