All these years of hurt wouldn't have followed.
We wouldnt have bought sereni and upset the other players.
We then wouldn't have ended up with Marshall when Sereni needed a break.
So Mr Wright. Fk you! |  |

Not sure that winter of 1991 had any bearing on us |  |

But look on the bright side, Wright essentially ended his own career after making that move. Am pretty sure he made more appearances for us between 1995 and 2001 than he did for Arsenal, Everton, ourselves and (cough) Man City up to his retirement.
From a potential England keeper to the butt of a joke. A real waste of a career, though I’m sure he’s set for life now. |  | | |

Yeah I doubt he's crying into his millions. |  |

Definitely made a difference; no 2 ways about it.
The agent got the blame at the time, for being pushy, which I suppose isn't too far-fetched.
RW did well out of his career financially but as Patrick there says too, things may have had an alternative outcome had that side been kept together.
What can you do, when a player wants to go, he wants to go. | |

Think the OP means Richard rather than Ian (unless referring to Billy who managed Arsenal, might have solved the 'who could replace Alf Ramsey' problem). |  |

Maybe we should have like, I don’t know, just let Sereni have a break?
I never understood why he got such stick for that. Who knows what was up with him?
Anyway I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have made much difference nearly 20 years later |  |

Both Wright and Sereni hugely over rated imho |  |

the other key change that summer... allowing Scowcroft to leave, 2 home grown players, ripped the heart out of the whole ethos Burley had built on |  |

Scowie was a big loss.
Wright played over 20 games for Arsenal in his one season before moving to Everton and being first choice there. From memory we then fell out of his loft, hurt his back and from that point barely played regularly again (aside for a season with us)
Dream job at Man City though. |  |

Didnt he fall out of his loft at Arsenal and then trip over a "KEEP OF THE PITCH" sign at Goodison and do his ankle in? | |

Memorably quit Preston after a week due to homesickness, only to then join Manchester City.
In fairness, Preston is a bit further away from Ipswich than Manchester is. | | | |

You can’t really blame Wright for going.
In the England setup. Picked up by Arsenal as the long term replacement to Seaman who was on the way out.
I saw his league debut for Arsenal away at Derby and he was very good. Crowd singing his name and a big future ahead.
.....then he dropped a rick in his first home game in front of a much bigger number of Arsenal fans and it was downhill from there.
The issue was not replacing him in a sensible way. |  | | |

What were we doing in Richard Wright's loft? | |

He's GK coach at one of the biggest clubs in the world. |  |

The bigger mistake was the sale of Scowcroft for me. |  |

His biggest mistake - his words not mine - was to return for a second stint.
Understandably, as most things in life aren't the same if you try to revisit them.
But yes, you're right. He was a solid honest player who had his head in the right place. | |
