"Nobody has phoned me about Richie and speaking to the chairman I have been informed by him that no body has contacted him either so as far as i am concerned he is going nowhere.
"He is contracted for another season, I think that he is enjoying his time here. He is Captain and playing well and hopefully we can go onto better things"
