    The love Jose has for our club and fans just flows out of him ,he has not a bad word to say about the fans.
    I feel for Jose and i know how he feels for our club . I would welcome him back anytime .
    Just to say i have spoken with him last summer but everything he told me i will keep to myself other than the above.

    Why even mention it on here if you're not going to say it?

    Pathetic.

    I would also welcome him back. He didnt told me that he hates Roland for ruining the club Riga loves.

    Nice bloke.

    Not good enough though, assuming we have ambitions of being a proper football club again rather than a misfiring shitshow

    If Peterborough can get Steve Evans in, I think we do a bit better than Jose Riga ffs

    I'd take Riga back... At least he's passionate and knows how to get players playing.

    That's been echoed by pretty much everyone who has spent time with him it seems.

    I'll always remember Louis telling the story of how Riga apologized to him and Terry after we were relegated at Bolton. Whether or not he's a good enough manager, it showed a real humility and decency.

    It certainly looks that way: “I’m available and I’m still in love with football. I watch a lot of games and I do a lot of TV work, but I’m always looking for the next opportunity.”. It's been six months since his last managerial appointment with Brugge and perhaps he senses that the scouser won't be here forever.

    José's available!

    I’d have him back in the interim.

    May as well keep Robbo though, eh? Why change a failing manager

    Comes across as a real gent, but he never set the world alight with us to ever justify a third spell as manager.

    Infact, I do actually think Karl Robinson is better for all his flaws.

    A big NO from me - I would say it was Powell's back room staff that kept us afloat when he was sacked - Dyer, Matthew & Roberts.

    Riga flopped second time round with a poor record.

    Can we not just have a break from this whole network stuff - what next Luzon, because he was even more passionate than the Scouser.

    He seemed to have a knack of getting the best out of his players. Harriott and Poyet in particular, both of whom have done little since.

    Yes, he's a great bloke, have lots of time for him. At least he bothered to thanks all kit sponsors for doing so just after relegation, Robinson never came near any of us that I know of, certainly didn't speak to our group. Have met him a few times, and always found him, honest and sincere in his love for our club. It was clear he was not happy with the restrictions RD wanted to impose on him, which probably led to the second departure. He deserves better than us.

    At the same time, he did alright to get a gig in the division below the Premiership with virtually no appropriate experience.

    Charlton in 2014 still looked alright on a CV

    A bit harsh.

    Not sure you can claim that Powell's backroom staff that kept us up that season when it was that same backroom staff that had us destined for relegation under Powell, the only thing that really changed was Riga coming in.

    Wasn't great the second time round, although he had me believing we might stay up at that Rotherham away game. The run in was brutal if I recall and the damage had probably already been done by the time he came in.

    I would say all in all Riga is one of the few managers from the last few years that is still in credit.

    Any half decent manager deserves better than working for Roland.

    Having said that, Jose did OK out of the arrangement in that he’d never have got a management job in the 2nd tier of English football otherwise

    Good manager and well respected by the players.

    Part of being a good manager is knowing who to listen to and if Jose listened to Dyer and Matthew etc, then it shows he's good at his job.

    The team I saw come back from 0-2 at Hillsborough was a credit to everyone and I know we took some beatings in our last Championship season but some of the performances were good.

    I like him and I'd welcome him back if that's what transpired.
