Talked a lot but said little. I think after a few weeks of trying to decipher what was actually meaningful, I'd have given up listening if I were a player. There is only so much waffle and bluster that an individual can take.

TBH He removed my brains with his after match comments, washed them in a bucket and put them back leaving me absolutely clueless and aching.  never again I hope

But would he have been sacked if Russell Slade wasn't available. We will never know the answer to that question.

I certainly wish him well, even though he sometimes baffled me, like at Carlisle with a very strange line up and was the first manager to beat Carlisle at home. Hurst was also guilty of strange decisions so what do we know?

However, Russell Slade certainly seems a safer choice especially with his higher up contacts.

We've had a couple of batterings away from home under Slade as well to be fair and you can't say Cheltenham and Barnet are that good, not as good as Stevenage going on the run they put together at the time. Is Slade immune from the same criticisms as Bignot? Won 2, lost 2, drew 1 isn't exactly setting the world alight either.

And how many of that team did Slade bring in exactly ??


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Let him pick players that he wants before we start all that.

Did he sell you a dodgy motor, made amorous advances towards Mrs Ginny or does his cat sh1t on your lawn each morning? Not sure what it is but you really don't rate him do you?

None but i don't see the relevance if they both had the same tools to work with. All three managers this season have averaged around 1.5 points per game, yet Bignot is being portrayed as the pantomime villain. Yeah, we were sh1te in some games but that was under all 3 managers. Good performances followed by bad ones, the epitome of mid table.

Not that it matters now.

There's been a noticeable difference in standards at home though which will please the board as that's where we'll make any money to pay for incomings.

It's just for balance really. I'm not dissing Slade, just pointing out that his record is pretty much the same as the other 2 so far. What he does going forward is unknown at this point and i'll admit that he is as good a manager as we could have hoped for once the decision to remove Bignot was made.

Agreed on that. The games at BP have been a lot better.
