Slade Out (merged)

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

Always more partial to Wizard myself.

Can't beat the oldies...

"They said there'd be points at Xmas, they said there'd be no goal dearth...

But instead we just kept on failing..."

Quoted from Marinerz93

Sladeball has always been boring but last time we a striker and other players who could score, this time I believe the budget has seen what sladeball can afford, bottom end with a few lazy clueless players. I don't think we'll go down but I might invest in a neck brace and some sun glasses, we are more likely to knock a seagull out of the air than score at the minute. He'll get another season because someone at the club seems to like lack of ambition and drive.

How many years is his contract for-can't find out anywhere-are they afraid that if we knew we would all go a walking-bet it's not the same as Hurst or Bignot.

The thing is, we all know Fenty will stand by Slade for much longer than he stood by Bignot.

The only thing that will make Fenty act is if the attendances drop off significantly. Think ahead to next summer after a 19th placed finish this season... how many season ticket holders will renew?

How many new fans will we attract?

That'll make him hit the panic button. Income streams dropping off a cliff.

If you had a good relationship with the fans, you'd be able to talk some of them round. But Fenty doesn't even have that. Him, his fellow board members and some of the staff have no relationship with the fans to speak of.

Slade's style of management and Fenty's style of stewardship is driving the most loyal fans away very, very quickly and something needs to change.

Only one man can do something to turn the tide.

I'm sorry but the budget has f**k all to do with what players we have . Instead of signing 11 players in the summer he could have signed six or seven quality players but chose not to. He is well past his sell by date and is a dinosaur in football coaching terms. I never wanted " Judas " back and have made no bones about it in all my posts. He has had no success in football and his achievements are summed up in the word " nearly ".

Just had aP.M. as to the length of Slades contract and how much he gets-dont know if its true.I'm gonna get a load of red x's but I daren't print it incase my laptop blows up. PM me if you really want to know

David Ross?

I'd give up on that it won't happen. More chance of Diana Ross.

Jesus Herts. Did I really need to put a smiley face on that post?

Quoted from Grimal

Yes I can ...                      "Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday" "and memories of Slade have faded away"

FFS i just had to sing that didnt i lol

Quoted from lukeo

I am not going to say Slade out but I will say he must wake up and smell the coffee. We have a half decent squad. We have a few players who's suit a team to play 442 and keep the ball down when possible. We need someone upfront with Jones who can run off him and make runs into the channel at pace.

I've wondered if maybe Cardwell or Hooper up top alongside Jones might not be a worthwhile option. But only if the ball is played on the deck for them to run on to.... not likely to happen is it?
