I was expecting a thread about cataract surgery   8)

Fenty and the board have had plenty of opportunity to rid themselves of Slade but have decided against it.

As for the fans holding no grudges against the board? Really? You cannot speak for all the fans because I actually do hold a grudge against the gross incompetence shown by the board and I suspect I may not be alone?

It's very difficult to work with/for friends. One thing for sure, an exit will probably end Slade's managerial career and, judged on yesterday's interview, I think he knows it.

Slade will continue his career in The National League, as our manager if something does not happen soon.

Continuity is not necessarily a bad thing

Grudge....why not... every season has been a failure since Fenty returned to the board, last successful season, 1999 then survived two relegation scares before the slide, garbage ever since, the promotion out of the conference team only finished 5th remember. I don't blame P Hurst at all he wasn't given the budget to get automatic promotion just play-offs which are a lottery...

I can see...........Clearly now Slade has gone,
Not gonna see any more hoof ball at BP

I can see........ Dead People?

Indeed i was, and yes i could. The song was very apt at the time, which is what sparked my post.
