Dynamic young manager? We had one of those and he got run out of town labelled a clueless gobshite.  Yes I accept  he was a bit manic and the results inconsistent,  but we don't appear any better off having given Slade  carte blanche to remake the team in his image.


If you think Bignot was the answer your as bonkers as he was. he was wrong and Slade is appearing to be wrong = The non chairman is wrong!

I get the theme but see above re players........

Also regarding "eager to learn" actually if you look at us when we lose it's usually to aides with experienced and "smart" players who know how to win games, not always by fair measures but efficient all the same.  

From the outside looking in the Bignot legacy appears to have taken the club from play offs to p1ssed off and drained the Omar money............Who appointed him? The same person who appointed a string of poor managers, he did appoint a manager with an excellent record of success once but sacked him after 6 games.....you never know he might do it again.

I have defended Fenty on a number of occasions as his money has bailed us out but his small club/small town dictatorship will see us disappear off the radar if we are not careful
.  



We weren't in the play offs when Bignot arrived and certainly not contenders once we sold Omar.

And for the final time, the money spent in the January window came from unexpectedly high gate receipts.

There was a £300k bank overdraft/loan that needed to be paid off within the following few months though..

I think we where 6th or 7th when MB took over, could be wrong..I agree with the gate receipts bit and that some of the money spent in Jan was down to that. How did you know the over draft needed settling? Maybe if Bignot was that great he would have spotted what we all knew in that Omar would have gone eventually and maybe instead of buying loads of player he should have just focused the "attendance money" on one objective replacing Omar with a credible striker.

Almond?


We don't want another York player, did alright for Southport but Tranmere didn't rate him and now he's in the conference north with York, I doubt he is anywhere good enough for league 2

Speed kills in thevleague and we are really lacking that up top. Kelly slows us down too much and we are not having enough shots on goal the first half was utter shite


Gtfc all the way

He's signed a JJ and a DJ.

The only way Slade is going to entertain us is to get a BJ on the pitch next home game..
