Given the very poor results & performances so far this season long should Slade be given to turn thing round before a change of manager should be made?

On current performances I can't see him lasting past October.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

All depends on how the season pans out from now.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Slade has to bare some accountability, he signs the players, picks the team and decides on the tactics.

Yes Slade signs the players, yes he organises the team and tactics but I have to agree with the comment above... I've never said it until these past few weeks but we need to be more concerned about JF

Slade out? Really? Is that the answer?

We're where we are because Paul Hurst left as he wasn't backed correctly by the board and wasn't appreciated and fully supported by the fans. This is after achieving promotion, gathering a team spirit and changing the whole mindset of the football club.
Then we appointed Bignot in what, arguably was too big a step up a transfer budget he has never been used to but appeared to be allowed to play with unchecked left us with a (comparatively) large squad. He clearly had little to no media training and the strain of extra interest really showed. He was also desperate to appease the fanbase. Taking on a professional club with ambitions to go gutter and all that entails including training every day was a step too far.
Then, we put Slade in charge. A steady hand who is far from dynamic he's signed players on the way down and has missed out on key targets.

The back drop to this is a fairly large club who have been non league for too long. We lost some infrastructure, the youth team is just getting re-established. We obviously don't have a strength and conditioning coach. Did we ever replace Steve croudson? Do we have any dedicated coaches to specific roles?
We have a ground we want to leave so haven't invested in that, yet we have no plan or timescale to actually move.
The training ground needs investment.

The problem isn't the management it's above that; but there is little to no chance of that changing.
We need a huge amount of investment but we're hardly an exciting prospect are we? Who in their right mind would come in?

Aren't we panicking just a little early?

Sure, the results and performances haven't been great (although we played well against Crewe) but it is still very, very early days.

Don't get me wrong I am no fan of Slade and wrote a post stating I thought JF was making a mistake appointing him. However, the appointment is made and I think it is too early to start calling for the head of any manager.

We have a largely new team again and sometimes this takes work to get it fully functioning. I am not saying it will start to get better but it may. It is just far too early to start talk about yet another manager.

Maybe instead of getting on the back of the players during the next home game we could provide some support and encouragement. You know, like it used to be in the old days when a supporter actually supported his team.
