Russell Slade

Quoted from forza ivano

Think you probably sum up the feelings of an awful lot of fans.certainly if he comes in on Wednesday then there is quite a bit of fence building to b done

yep

I suppose he'd at least get us organised and set out a distinct style (or styles) of play, something distinctly lacking in recent months.

Just hope it would be less hoofy than last time and I'd guess it ought to be because there aren't many decent players around who are as rapid as Reddy or as tall as the stick Jones.

I only hope any post-Christmas signings aren't anything like Junior Flipping Mendes!

I can categorically confirm that Russell Slade is about to be appointed as manager and that he is having John McDermott as his number 2 and coach

This will be confirmed presently

Now is the perfect time both financially and with us being in a stable(ish) position to bring Nigel Adkins to the club. Use some of the money from the bogle transfer to get him on a 2 yr contract and he has the next 5 games to access the squad before the end of the season.

Going back to slade would be a sideways step from bignot. Adkins has a proven record of improving and getting the best from the teams hes managed whilst playing attractive football and even got scunthorpe to the championship

Is there really anyone better that we can realistically get? He's a solid manager. His last three jobs have been at clubs that have been a circus off the pitch, so no point saying much about them.

I dont want Slade and his boring brand of football, but hey, who takes any notice of of a supporter for 60 years. Whatever happens will happen.

I don't want him back either.

Fenty and Slade would have to put the past behind them and can't see that happening tbh but you never know things do go full circle and with Cheltenham due how ironic would that be??

Still have and many others have bad thoughts about the way he walked out on us and left us down at Cardiff.

Some people blamed Fenty either way could the two of them ever trust each other again after bad blood??

Well Fenty ain't going anywhere so Slade would have to work under him again too much bad blood imho.

Only fences more like BRIDGES, one of them is going to have to grovel big time and I can't see that being Fenty it is not in him and rightly so imho.

I can`t and wont forgive and forget the Cardiff debacle and I doubt I am alone with that? Parking that to one side for a moment he did a decent job on a small budget but the style of play was awful to watch and even when things were going well he massively divided opinion. If we had never had him previously I would say good appointment but I fear the worst with this.Any kind of bad run and vast swathes of support will be on his back it would be a very brave appointment in my opinion BUT at least an experienced head who knows how to set a team up.
