I presume you rate him Ritchie? Based On? I wouldnt like to say if hes quality or not. We have made some average signings since he was involved and some good ones, but nothing exceptional..... Id say he does his job at a mid table championship club, nothing more, nothing less. Read the thread..I've always said we can't judge him over a short period of time....what i do know though is he works extremely hard, is well respected/has good contacts in the game and is trusted by the man paying his wages. During his time here we've brought in some very promising youngsters, and have done good business at a first team level - is that down to him? who knows...but he'll have certainly played his part. Lot of false facts put on here about what he does..and maybe that explains why a lot of people have this weird grudge against him! We agree then.... always a first time.

I'd say he works to the managers criteria and the budget set by the board at a mid championship club. Once the manager has HIS man, its up to him, the manager, to get the best out of the player, not RW. If the budget were to be raised 50%, who knows what he, RW, would be able to identify. Thats exactly my point, he is doing ok with the budget he has, Could he do better with more money? PROBABLY. I reckon I could probably find better players than I was able to with more money.... Surely thats not the point of his role or am I missing something? He should be doing better with the money that is availiable, which to give him his due, moving clayton and norwood and bringing in butterfield and coady, he did that, BUT THATS HIS JOB. He hasnt unearthed any gems, yet. Budget is all relative, youll get better known players, but finding someone like a Jordan Rhodes is what will make or break the club, not bringing in butterfield who everyone already knew had class, he was just unlucky with injuries. I maintain, he does a good job at a good championship club. For me to say he was expceptional then we would have needed to have transfer results akin to Swansea, Southampton and even Crewe and Peterborough although not sure they are still as good at it. Agree with a lot of what you say, but the performance of said player once at the club isn't anything to do with him. With our budget, 'unearthing a gem' will always take time, i.e. they'll be very young. Lets see in 5 years time where Billing, Tronstadt, Bojaj and Coughlan et al are, then we can judge his success rate (but they still need the right management). With the other clubs, as you say, its all relative. They may have a larger budget, a greater catchment area for local lads, offer a better location or have fewer clubs to compete with locally. Also, with Peterborough, there's no secret formula to what they do, they just buy the best players in non-league. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (and they also throw a lot of money at it considering the size of the club).
