Come December I bet Fenty wont be singing " Merry Xmas Everybody"-more like Chicago's " Where do we go from here" or "Everybody told me so"--but it could be "The only way is down. You're out of luck-you're out of tme,get out of here"

I feel sorry for Marcus. You could put a good case that he should have been given more time into autumn but some of those beatings we took pointed to far deeper issues than just trying out some of the fringe squad players. He will be waking up in a cold sweat thinking about his team selection and set-up for that Doncaster game. But he'll get over it and hopefully come back stronger. He needs to work on articulating his views clearly and concisely because if I had a boss who blathered like that it would affect my confidence and performance.
As for Slade, he wouldn't have been my first choice but I could certainly see him leading us in League 1 rather than the League 2 relegation battle I was expecting with Marcus next season. I would have preferred someone like Adkins who didn't bring that baggage from the past which is going to upset some people. Town fans have long memories and having been there in Cardiff that day I couldn't have imagined letting Slade back into the club.
We are where we are though and realistically I'm more positive about next season than I was. Wilko being back is a real plus and hopefully he can help develop the forward line. We have trawled non-league for our buys this season and Sam Jones and Jamey Osborne are excellent additions. Hopefully Russ and Paul will have the contacts to bring in some more league players for next season.
This is a big period for the club with a new ground potentially coming fairly soon. Slade is a safer bet to retain our league status and push on. That was probably in Fenty's thinking when he walked out of the BP shaking his head on April 1st along with the rest of us.
I agree with the majority of what you say but even Adkins would have had some opposition from some quarters because of the Scunthorpe connection. You cannot please everyone thats for sure, but I think on balance Slade and Wilkinson give us hope for next season. |

Slade can do one as far as I'm concerned

No one seems to be reflecting on the type of football that might be played now. Football is results driven but not, for me, at any cost. At our best Town have always been a true footballing side - if that matters, will Slade deliver?

He will if he thinks we have the players to play that way, yes. |

Here's hoping that Slade's half-time team talk at Sincil Bank next season will be a bit more private.  |

Humberside have an interview with Fenty were he talks about slade. He also talks about Bignot's departure and how he'd been worried since January. Top new Fentyisms as well "barking up a gumtree" and "tintalates the buds" he popped a few old favourites in as well 😂

Yeah, just listened and have some new balls for Fenty bingo. Two new classics. |

Now I've stopped being sick I will have my 10 pence worth.
I have not said anything about Fenty all season but the amnesty is over.
This is another excrement appointment by Fenty who has made no end of excrement decisions in the name of our club..
FFS man why didn't you take your time and get some advice from people who actually know about football.
This is a backward step for our club.
How the intercourse Slade gets job after job I'm copulated if I know.
Funnily enough I'm doing job interviews tomorrow and if someone who comes for a job tells me they have been sacked 9 times (for being incompetent at his job) in the last 10 years including twice in the last 8 months I would think the bloke has a flipping cheek to even apply.
Fenty your an idiot and Slade your excrement.
Apart from that I will be there Friday and renewing my ST to support the team no the MSH or the fat twit in the hat.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Nice to have Wilkie back.
Whenever I see him I can't help remembering Dave Booth looking at a 17 year old Paul in a junior or a reserve game before he broke through into the first team and saying that Wilkie running was like a new born foal.
First time I saw him in the first team I said to my lad "He will never make a footballer as long as he`s got a hole in his rrs" what do I know  |
