Think he got a distinction in saying 'Yes John'.


Pity he didn't learn 'Here's my resignation John'

Don't think whether he played the game is that relevant. An increasing number of Coaches/Manager's are emerging and being successful who never played the game (or to any decent standard).

Just to even this out, the Cowley's were PE Teachers so I'm not sure why this thread is needed really... It wasn't so much of an issue in his last tenure.

Wrawby, it's now ten years since his last tenure, might have hoped he had learnt many new techniques and strategies plus a few successful seasons in that time.

I have no problem with Slade's lack of playing experience.

When it comes down to it, all I care about is his ability to build a strong squad, get them playing good football and winning matches to get us in contention of promotion.

He's built a large squad, not a strong one; he's got us playing dull football and we're winning as many as we're losing (with a -6 goal difference).

He may need more time to improve - which, to be fair, we have - so maybe he can take us forward next season. But I'm not particularly happy just to see us meander into a 14th place finish this season. If we're going to end up mid-table I'd at least like him to adapt his philosophy and get the team playing more fluent, attacking football to win the fans back.

I would hope so too, having gone on to manage in the Championship. The man can only operate within budget, and It's fair to say some players haven't been up to it... We have a massive squad... Lets hope we can offload deadwood before bringing in some better players.

Every dog has his day. Slade peaked a few years ago sadly. He will get found out when it comes to season ticket sales in the summer, should he still remain here.

I would really like to renew my ST next season - the only way it will happen is with a progressive manager and a progressive budget.

Slade's qualifications?

He got the job because he was the last manager standing in JF's address book..

Exactly this. Worked his way up to the Championship, failed, and is working his way back towards non league. If he had done the biz in the higher divisions, no way would he be managing a mid table League 2 side now.
