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.
I am with you on this one Wrabs. Slade has been saddled with a massive squad he as to offload the surplus at some point it is unsettling to every team player. I suspect Slade to be a hell of a busy man in January he knows he cannot bring anybody on board until he gets rid.

2018 Q1 - Reduce squad, buy quality not quantity and consolidate league 2 status.
2018 Q3 - Repeat but improve on league position with added quality but reduced squad.
2019 - Repeat
2020 - Repeat play offs
3/5 year plan must look something like this. Would be nice for the club to release their 3/5 year plan then this way it might give the fans some reality to our realistic season targets rather than false hopes.
Maybe our liason officer could provide for us and might steady the ship.
We all want promotion but realistic chances are slim after just being back into the league.
Fingers crossed for squad refresh in January, UTM
Hope you all have a nice evening whatever your plans maybe 😊 🍾

Lincoln seems to be doing ok the reasons why are clear. Fresh ideas, supportive board, stable foundations.

Think you missed one out- "They don't have Slade as manager"

And a stack of cash from a good cup run and their South African backers. They have ideas and innovation from the top down we have apathy led by Fenty “The Minister of can’t do”.

But part of that is down to RS. He signed 11 players in the summer and half of those are not good enough. Woolford, , Kelly , JJ are all unnecessary signings and I'm sure he could have found a better left back than Dixon. RS is past his sell by date ( like Buckley Mk 3 was) and I don't think he will achieve anything with us. His tactics are non-existent , he has no Plan B ( and his Plan A is questionable) and there is a growing possibility that we may get sucked into a relegation battle if any of the bottom two show any improvement in form.

I would imagine there are far more managers who have never won anything than have. Pointless subject
True and Slade is one of them. If we want to remain a League 2 side then stick with him. But if we have ambitions to rise higher in the football pyramid then, on his past record, Slade is not the man to do it.
