I've been told this evening Slade 'has until saturday'

Not sure what they mean exactly but I'm assuming if we don't beat Morecambe he's gone apparently.. My argument to that is what happens if we scrape a 1-0 win and then lose the next couple?

Similar to what I was told before the Swindon game.

I can’t see Fenty changing it during the season

At the moment Fenty must be stalking around fuming with flared nostrils at the quality of Slades signings, so i would not be surprised if he sacked him.

Four managers in little more than 12 months doesn’t suggest stability. Most teams that get through that many end up getting relegated. At least if we keep Russ that won’t happen

I don't think Fenty will sack Slade – he knows he’s given him a mid table budget at best to work with, and that’s where we’re at.

Sacking a manager is expensive and disruptive. He’ll get until the end of the season at least I think.

I think at this point it would be foolish to sack Slade. He's not delivering the results we want obviously, but as has been mentioned above, the complete lack of stability and the constant churn of the squad is really not helping us.. to change managers again would, I think, be a big mistake.

I think we need to see out the season with Slade at the very least and then see where we stand.

I'd prefer to see Slade stay, not because I like him but for the stability of the club.

Right now we are in no relegation trouble at all, Slade wouldn't take us down. However, if we do sack him and Fenty picking his replacement (considering at how flipping useless he is at making any decision for the club) I'd not feel so sure and that's not a risk I'd like us to take right now.

I find that difficult to believe.

It would be better to give Slade some real money to improve the squad with an eye to next season.

2 or 3 quality players would make all the difference, and if Fenty cannot or will not fund those signings then he deserves all he gets.

I can't believe the board would be considering this scenario. "Right chaps, if we don't beat Morecambe, Slade is toast. And while i'm at it, can one of you spread this info to some random fans?"
