The trouble with bullsh!tters is they never know when to shut the feck up and ultimately they get found out!.Bigobs ego is far greater than his capabilities otherwise he would still be at town.Sadly if he had played Diz more regularly he might just have gained another season instead of being sacrificed for others with an ongoing contract.

Quoted from A Brace Of Tees


Have to say I agree 100% with this - I too was at that Stevenage game and had that awful sinking feeling long before 90 minutes were up that this bloke simply didn't have a clue. Whatever it was he tried to fill the players' minds with had the effect of leaving them completely baffled and bewildered.

I'm afraid that when I now think of Marcus, I can't help but think of the kid whose nose is pressed up against the sweetshop window with a big stupid grin on his face. A pity really, because I too had high hopes that he would take our club forward...in reality he took it backward and it is now left to Mr Slade to disentangle the mess which was left behind.


Agree, I will never forget the way he treated Gowling GTFC through and through, and his silly adoration of anything Gunning, IMO he`s a chapter that should have been left unwritten.

Quoted from rancido



MB inherited PHs' squad as well though and that included Davies ( past his best), Summerfield, Berrett, Tombola ( from 2 levels lower ). To MBs' defence his brief was to maintain our league status and build for the future. He openly admitted that if he was going to be judged purely on the performances for the rest of the season then he wouldn't have brought in the players that he did ( Clements,  Jones and Osbourne ). Yes, a lot of his selections were baffling to us and the performances were dire at times but he had a long term plan that he eventually wasn't allowed to put into place. None of us know what squad he would have finally ended up with for next seasons campaign but it's purely arbitrary now because he's gone.
I'll openly admit I didn't want RS back but he will get my support because he is our manager. Remember though that RS will have to achieve something next season ( or the season after if he hasn't already done a runner) that he has never done before and that is get a team promoted. PH has three to his name and two play-off finals plus a FA Trophy final appearance and even MB achieved a promotion at Solihul Moors.


Plan Z would that have been, thank f--k he was never given the chance, absolutely clueless regarding tactics, but could wear an England shirt for bullsh1t

Quoted from ginnywings
I'm not really dissing Slade and i don't think he is a bad manager, he's not. I wasn't a fan of his playing style last time but when you are winning, it's easy to overlook. I am just sticking up a bit for Bignot, who i feel was hung out to dry a bit. Lies, damned lies and statistics as they say. Everyone uses them to back up their argument.

As i say, it doesn't really matter now and as always, i'm a hundred per cent behind the manager at BP, whoever that happens to be at the time.

Let's get some new signings on board and give us something else to talk about.


Na! truth will out one day, reference the Gowling/Henderson affair, until it does (if ever) lets just say Bye bye Marcus

Maybe not through and through. But far more than the whinging brummie tw@t that was so far out of his depth it was unbelievable, and treated some players like sh1t whilst saying as an ex-footballer he was a players manager.  Showing his true colours now though.  So glad we got rid of MB before he could do serious damage.  


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'

MB is winging still after leaving the club because his ego cannot accept any failure.

I likes his positivity when he came but there was clearly more than just team performances involved in his departure.

Seems to me significant that he hasn't yet picked up another job or been linked to one.

I dont think bitching about former employers in the sun, or recognition of the fact he made mistakes... "i dont know why i was sacked" does not go down well with future employers... The more he opens his mouth, the more one realises what a chancer he is.

But he will have picked up 6 months salary from his rolling contract and the season has only just finished. He will get another post and probably Conference top level.
