So to sum up your source said Riga was here (in the UK? at the Valley? at the Training ground?) but since then Riga has said no and so Chris "British manager in the network" OLoughlin is in the frame.
This Chris bloke is ruining my club St. Truiden, what can I do to get rid of him...!! Hang on, the Charlton fans are moaning they want a British Manager, they can have Chrissy boy (Its almost Chris Powell), then I can get a better Manager for my club!!
Riga is 100% back. Do like him BUT to me having him back just shows total and utter contempt for the fans again.The next appointment after Riga will be interesting.
Sint-Truiden coach, Chris O’Loughlin, talks about his first job as Orlando Pirates assistant coach and knocking out Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 37-year-old was promoted from assistant coach to head coach at Sint-Truidense when former head coach, Yannick Ferrera, decided to take the Standard Liege job ahead of the current campaign.
O’Loughlin, who grew up in Cape Town, is the youngest South African to ever be appointed as head coach of a team in a major European league and he explains his rise to the big time.
“It’s been a long road. When I came back to SA from Ireland in 2005 I thought, ‘The 2010 World Cup is around the corner. Let’s see if I can get a coaching opportunity.’ I had my UEFA B badge at the time,” O’Loughlin told Soccer Laduma.
“People told me, ‘It’s impossible. You’re inexperienced. You’ll never coach a top side.’ My first f**king job was as Orlando Pirates’ assistant.
“Then I went to Congo and they said I was crazy. I knocked Mamelodi Sundowns out of the CAF Confederation Cup with AS Vita in 2009, and we went to the quarter-finals.
“Then I went back to Europe and they told me I’d never make it. You can see where I am now. I’ve come a long way and my network is slowly growing, which is important in football and something that did not seem possible seven years ago.”
Seems he's actually South African who was originally British... And he's got anger management issues

He appears to have zero playing history, though signed to Larne and Cliftonville for a while.
Is the Riga turning us down based on credible info, or just a guess because of the silence?
Is the O'Loughlin link based on credible info, or just clutching at straws based on how is at RD's clubs?
