Interesting Fenty said the target was 50 points again. If I was MB watching that I'd be thinking: "yeah, heard that one before" At least Slade has a more ambitious target.
But as Fenty (Conservative) never wrong in his entire life, ever said it it's The Truth.What strange timese these are.

Maybe I've just got my antenna switched to conspiracy mode but something just doesn't seem right to me.
All the confusion over MB's sacking with different story's from every party and all the rumours. I'm just not sure to be honest...
Anyone get the feeling RS was lined up before Marcus was actually dismissed?
I'd put your mortagage on it Fenty said he got the jitters in january - hadn't realised just how friendly he was with slade (went to his wedding for example) so when Slade tells him in January he's been sacked by Cov, i'll bet Fenty's little brain went into overdrive! (including shiite, this isn't going to go down well with the fans, hmmmm i need a town legend to come in as his assistant to sugar the pill).week or so later John gets the phone call from PW to say he's been sacked at N'ton and BINGO! problem is solved. Just put wilko and slade together, tell them this is how its going to be and sort out the details and let bignot go at the earliest opportunity would love to know how many gtfc games wilko or slade have seen in the last 3 months

I am sure he was lined up prior to the sacking and amen for that. It has been obvious for weeks it was going pear shaped and it would have been criminal not to be prepared for the inevitable. I have been very critical in the past when we have made a sacking then "invited applications" which didn't fill me with any confidence. Much better in my eyes to identify the people you want in advance. Obviously your aim has to be realistic, and achievable but I think Fenty has done the right thing.

If you listen to the Slade / Matt Dean interview which was linked somewhere earlier, Matt asks Slade when he was contacted. There's a lot of 'erm' 'erm' before Slade says "Tuesday", erm "Tuesday after Marcus was sacked" ... That would have been yesterday then Russ ...

Exactly what i thought and the first ( i'm reluctant to say lie) misdirection? Slades return was being talked about on Friday in the pubs of Blackpool. No way was all this sorted yesterday, while he was up a mountain.

Did Slade pick Wilkinson or was it a choice imposed upon him?

You only have to look at the timing. An away win at Blackpool isn't the last straw! The game before on the other hand.....

Of course he was lined up before! When MD asked Slade when he got the call her said "errr..... well.... ummm... I think it was Tuesday, yeah Tuesday after Marcus went on Monday". You'd say "I got the call yesterday", you wouldn't need to think about it.
Personally I don't care, I think he'll do a cracking job and to have Wilkie in as well (who'd been linked with the managers' job previously in his own right) is a massive plus. We weren't going anywhere other than down the table under Bingo Bignot.

RS was being honest, about being contacted on Tuesday. Just not the Tuesday AFTER MB was sacked.

I thought the video lagged at that point and meant to add another 50 points or more if possible, if he really did mean 50 points and he needs to give his head a wobble.
