Why does it have to be a manager thats won something?
I thought Slade did well whilst here....ok he left in strange circumstances but he's more experienced and there is no reason to say he'd be crap. Lets see how he does till the end of the season. Would Macca come here as assistance jumping ship from clee town and missing out on the fa vase?

He did a fecking good job with Brighton, Orient and Yeovil. He's a decent lower league manager and I would say he's made bad decisions in going to clubs like Cardiff, Coventry and Charlton who have all had off the field problems and he's gone in, in difficult circumstances.

Can't say a Slade appointment would inspire me. But neither am I at S/T ripping up point (and not just because I haven't got one ). I can't think of many (or any?) exciting appointments that turned out well though. Having said that, I don't have confidence in the people that took a decision to appoint Bignot thinking that he was the right man, only to let him go less than 6 months later. So basically, I don't effing know what to think!!

When was here, I use to drink with a family member of the board.
Slade did not leave in the best of circumstances. The story goes that he was touting himself and Mildenhall around to other clubs through his agent. One director of another club rang Town up to tell them of a phone call from an agent saying he could get Slade and the goalkeeper Mildenhall, at the end of the season. Crofty was playing for Town at the time, and found out the Slade had put his house on the market, but wasn't looking to buy another one around here.
At the time we were top and looking good, but after Christmas we slumped and only just made the playoffs. Slade resigned after the playoff defeat, and walked into the Yeovil job with Mildenhall.
Don't think that Slade is well thought of in the boardroom.
It is also alleged that the players knew this and some of them were on the urine the night before the match in Cardiff. No to Slade for me.

Technically, we were 'outside' the playoffs with about 90 seconds of the season remaining. What might have been, eh?

He's a good manager in the lower leagues, we had him in his early days and although he hasn't had a promotion he has an excellent record of getting teams in the play-offs and he's often left clubs in a better state than he's found them.
Wouldn't be a shite appointment like Russ Wilcox.

Yep. What a day that was. Really don't want him back but at least part of it for me is the devastation of those couple of minutes and then the no show in the final. Not sure how objective I can be about this, if I'm honest.
