Caddis & Ritchie......

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

To sum up my view on this, which I'm pretty sure is similar to a lot of people's is that we shouldn't sell Ritchie and Caddis at this point in time. It makes no sense to sell them and it would be pretty disastrous if we did. The way Jeremy Wray has gone about his role as (interim) Chairman has suggested that it won't happen. We're being run by decent people now with a bit of money behind them which means the players don't have to be sold to pay the tax man.

My one nagging irrational doubt is this is Swindon and this sort of shit just seems to happen to us. We've shot ourselves in the foot so many times throughout our history. The thought of it happening again is sickening. I can't believe it will.

I'm going to stop looking at this thread now.

Tells you what well all think of these 2 though doesn't it.

Losing them now really doesn't bare thinking about.

The loss of Ritchie/Caddis would no where be near as devastating to Swindon as when we lost Austin. 

You are talking shit. Austin wanted to leave at the first opportunity.

My take on this is they will stay, at least until the summer. If they want to go in the summer, cash in..They were offered the chance to be offloaded last summer and wanted to stay - so now I guess we will find out what they're loyalty is really like

IMHO the Austin situation was at least as disastrous, but mainly because we didn't replace him when I'm sure we could have done adequately enough to stay in League 1.  We were left with no real striker that I will always maintain was the key reason we were relegated.  We COULD have signed someone good enough but for whatever reason didn't.

This time around, I really don't believe that we're in the position to sign adequate replacements that would see us win automatic promotion.

Selling Caddis and Ritchie this window will have exactly the same consequences as selling Austin did this time last season.

League Two football at the County Ground.

We could possibly get away with losing one but not both. It would take away our biggest asset which is our strength down the right side and of course Our top scorer.

Money talks, but I am clinging to one hope on this.

Many players get through their careers without winning anything - no promotions and no trophies. Caddis and Ritchie have a chance to put both on their c.v. this season.

They might, just might, also see a chance to go up through the leagues with PdC.

Confident we wouldn't sell behind the manager's back. Wray has backed Paolo massively every time he's asked to make a signing. He wouldn't undo it all by saying 'Sorry but we have to sell whether you like it or not'.

I only see them going if they hand in transfer requests and Di Canio decides he doesn't want them here.

So many of attacks come from down the right-hand side. A better version of Manky and JPM. I'd hate to imagine us without them, it'd fuck us up massively.

This thread needs a song

Depends if both want to live in Holland.

I'll be very suprised if both players are to leave

I'll be very suprised if both players are to leave

I can't believe we have spent the whole day worrying about something that very probably won't happen
