Quoted from 935
Slade was the closes we ve come to league one in more than a decade, he s brought us bigger scalps in the cup, a solid attacking partnership, and probably the best central midfielder in Paul Bolland the club has had for some time...
You forgot to mention a fantastic defensive partnership in Whittle and Jones!

If he could sign players as good as G. Jones, Reddy, Whittle and R. Jones again then we'll be laughing. In all honesty in the summer we need a striker who knows where the goal is and will stretch defences with pace, basically Michael Reddy! A genuine left sided winger, who's actually decent! A high quality goalkeeper, not saying McKeown is a poor keeper but I think for a promotion push we need a very good keeper. We need an athletic centre half, a bit like Toto, and that should see us sorted. We need players of the quality the ones listed early in the post.

Here's a video with all of Michael Reddy's goals for Town. Only one of those goals came about from what I would call a "hoof". Yes there were some longer balls but they were looking for the run of Reddy in to the channel. It was clearly the game plan rather than just lumping it forward and if you had a player as quick and powerful as Reddy why on earth would you not take advantage of it? Likewise, the Cowley's have been very successful this year but have employed a fairly direct style to utilise their main striker who is Matt Rhead. I'd rather watch us play measured balls into the channel and have an obvious (successful) game plan than watch some of the turd that has been served up in the last three months where most of the time I had no idea what the game plan was. Here's the link if you want to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEtrfl-HGUA
How I enjoyed seeing those again. What a player he was. How did Slade get him here in the first place? There must have been a queue of clubs after him, but I do know Slade would not take no for an answer. There will never be another Michael Reddy but if Slade can get us playing anything like that then surely we would be a happy lot.

His first job on the "to do" list is to secure the services of Collins, Andrew, Pearson and ideally (though I don't think it will happen) Dom Vose. Some posters are talking about some players only having 5 games to prove they are worth an offer, after the last few months maybe the club and the new manager only have 5 games to prove that they we are worth playing for.

Well, I'll not be parting with my money for another season ticket. I bought 3 last year. I REALLY DISLIKE THIS MAN. Sacked 3 times in less than a year. He's past his sell by date. Whatever people think Bignot is a young manager on his way up. Slade is yesterdays man on the slide. Slade, I'd rather have Noddy not Russell.

Does that same principle apply to the Blackpool Fans who are boycotting their club or those boycotting B teams at BP?

Oh why if Slade signed all those fantastic players were we abysmal in the last game of that season, and even worse at Cardiff, we got what we deserved that day beaten by the poorest team ever to be in a playoff final. Didn't make Fenty look like a real chump, or is that anyway.
