Thanks Brisbane ,only echoes what I've been told by my orient contact.think Yeovil fans are pretty complimentary as well, Swansea, so that makes two. Can't imagine Scarborough fans would have too bad to say either


Ps Brisbane the very best of luck in the future. You will absolutely hate non league, but I hope you pull through. Think the vast majority of town fans are wishing your club the best


That's really nice and full respect to you and your club too. If players are not paid by Friday apparently they are allowed to walk away which could leave us with no team to play Luton!
Another meeting with the PFA today according to SSN...I might not hate non-league as will probably just be grateful to have a club left

It's not all bad down there. You will probably win a lot more games than you do at the moment, get to visit lots of unusual places you have never heard of, be on TV more and have local derbies over Christmas. The novelty soon wears off though so do a Bristol Rovers not a Grimsby!

Yeah I hated watching Reddy and Jones bully defenders. I couldn't stand having two central midfielders who could out-compete their opposite numbers and it was awful watching us counter attack at speed.


And he achieved what again with such a wonderful team?

30 seconds from automatic promotion and lost (admittedly with a poor performance) in the play off final. He came two years before that and had 3 players on the books with the club in freefall and with not a pot to piss in. He stabilised the club and stopped the rot. He brought in some of the best players we've had since the turn of the century and gave us one of our best wins in living memory by deservedly beating a nearly full strength Spurs side. But you're right, it was an abject failure.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I'm with Bigdog in that i think Slade is a bigger bullsh1tter than Bignot. Just seems a boring safe option type appointment to me but as ever, i'll wait to see what happens.

Spurs had 5 current England players in their that night, so I see what you mean by "nearly a full strength Spurs team".    We might have been in trouble if they were Icelandic internationals.

well, he must be bloody good at bullsh1t ginny coz he's now managed 800 games with a decent enough win record!
i think you're being a bit too harsh on him.i'm not dancing with delight but whilst i can't forget cheltenahm/play offs/the departure i think it's fair to also remember the spurs and newcastle games plus the football he played early on with crowe, pinault and sestanovich firing on all cylinders. we didn't get the results, but the football was as thrilling as anything under buckley and laws.
also, if he hadn't been here before and we didn't have this history i think we'd probably be delighted to get such an experienced manager who's been a boss for along time at a much higher level than we are at present

We really should have coaxed Slade into the Vanarama for us, he'd have made mincemeat of Chasetown
