John fenty will never be popular at this club because he barely ever has it in him to make the right decision,im sorry marcus bignot wasn't given chance to continue his plan for the club but think osborne and jones will be two big players in this league from next season.
whether i agree with this management is irrelevant and what counts is we back and support them like we would any other,no reason why success won't be achieved both with new players and some of bignots players.


Agreed and i will back the manager at the ground. As a fan, it's all you can do and hope the board have got it right for once.

Ultimately, he's our manager now, so all we can do is support him. At least he didn't hide away from what he expects to achieve next season, let's hope he can carry it out.

Well I wonder what colour he will be on Friday in front of Blundell Park`s lowest gate of the Season nearly everyone is ready for the beach on and off the park.


Why have you got such a downer on Slade and Wilkinson? Bignot was flailing around - the players knew it, the fans knew it and the board knew it. I think Bignot himself probably knows it! We took decisive action to get an experienced football league manager who recently finished 8th in the Championship and got a small team like Yeovil playing some great attacking football into the league 1 play offs. In addition we have got a club legend back in harness; what is there not to like?

If things dont go well then of course I will moan as much as the next fan but it all seems positive to me. There are loads of managers I would have preferred in a perfect world, of course there are, but realistically I think we have done pretty well.

Totally agree with everything you say Lew but I can`t help not being enthusiastic about Slade due to his previous spell. I wont welcome him with Open arms but I do think he is a massive improvement on Bignot and I expect us to be right up the top under RS because we have a decent squad and RS knows how to play and work systems.All that said it isn`t an appointment to get the majority of fans here excited and in fact it will put quite a few off but he is here now so we have to hope for the best.Good luck Slade and Wilko UTM

You can not please all the fans whoever you appoint,

Lets give Slade a chance to prove he is the man to take us up,

I did like Marcus but he started to put doubts in my mind towards the end,

I feel we have a much stronger management team in place now,

Really pleased Paul is back with us.

Fair enough and lets hope everything goes well. I wouldn't take the passionate views on here (for and against) to be a barometer of the wider fan base though. I don't know for sure but I bet most Town fans who go to games will give them both every chance.

For the life of me some of you have short memories or weren't alive when Paul Wilkinson was a player here he was Wilkie not Wilco !

Interesting Fenty said the target was 50 points again. If I was MB watching that I'd be thinking: "yeah, heard that one before"  

At least Slade has a more ambitious target.

What is the target-50 points or play off spot? Delete as appropriate next season. That press conference answered no questions at all and a lot of stuff glossed over in the process.

Maybe I've just got my antenna switched to conspiracy mode but something just doesn't seem right to me.

All the confusion over MB's sacking with different story's from every party and all the rumours. I'm just not sure to be honest...

Anyone get the feeling RS was lined up before Marcus was actually dismissed?
