Quoted from dapperz fun pub


fenty made a personal choice rather than employ the best man at the time(slade) when he gave woods the job.lets face it though hes been edging to get away for yonks he s accepted he cant get the big decisions right but in true tory style twisted it in his official statement



Not true! John had no axe to grind regarding Slade and would of chose him over Neil. It was a board decision of which Mike had a say in.  UTM!

Interesting point and puts Slades original departure into perspective. If , as is frequently mentioned on here , Slade left because JF did the dirty on him as regards his contract then why would he apply to come back. If I was done the dirty by some firm over my contract then I would never consider returning there because I would never trust them.

Exactly, but it's all too easy to ignore that and just blame Fenty anyway.

I'm amazed he's put up with it for as long as he has, he is human and has a family all of wwom appear to be fair game to some people. Can't see that Id want to put myself or my family through that like he has.

Thanks Sonik - I think this might give an insight into the various goings-on last February (and maybe one of the reasons for the subsequent Board changes)

I think it also gives an insight into MP's ability to get things wrong as much as JF.  We are all human and make errors of misjudgement.

It's unusual for Marinette to get hold of the wrong end of the stick but I was just looking back at some old posts and found this post...

I'm not so sure about the Slade bit.  I remember Sonik being very clear and very forthright, saying no way was JF going to appoint Slade, after what had gone on last time.

Which, as I understand it, was the reason why the rest of the Board didn't want Slade.  JF was prepared to put that to one side in the hope of keeping us in the league.

Excuse me, but just because someone didn't want Slade back doesn't make the eventual appointment of Woods the right decision does it?
