Stick, twist or go all in ?

No doubt will come down to simple economics - cost of pay off v lost revenues from sub 3000 gates if Slade is kept on.

Does anyone know how much impact Wilko has?  Assume Slade runs things as he sees fit (wrong word I know !!!) and maybe Wilko has little say.  Thus he may do a decent job as caretaker if he has different ideas to Slade.

Quoted from GrimRob

I think he'll go tomorrow morning, it will be the first act of Monday's board meeting. The prospect of a sub-3000 crowd for the rest of the season will push the board into acting now.

Anyone know roughly what time the board meeting is tomorrow so I can be on The Fishy just afterwards to hear the outcome ?

Tough one. The cost of buying out his contract (if the rumours are correct) could be very expensive, then who do we get to replace him? It's really too late into this window to get someone else in who has the opportunity to make an impact this season. Yet we are not that far off points-wise (OK performances may suggest it's an unbridgeable gap).

A crazy, third alternative is the board comes out with a radical statement tomorrow. Admitting they've got many things wrong, sorry to the fans, we'll listen more in the future, we'll take you seriously, we reacted in a way that we shouldn't have with local journalists, we copulated up over Stevenage and the treatment of Kristine, JF will write off some of the debt, we'll be more open about facts and figures (subject to genuine commercial concerns), John didn't even mean to call Pete and Swin vile, just stick by the club and the manager, let's all pull together, we need your support, we need your money, we're introducing a raft of new ways to buy S/Ts earlier and introducing shift-worker/exile ST packages, we're sure we can turn it round. Russ will even leave an attacker on the half-way line when we defend corners. It might just work.

Yeah, I need my meds don't I!  

Not a good place to be in.
I would let Slade and Wilco go. Give the job to Dave Moore until end of season with minimal outlay.
I believe we would still stay up. If possible, cut the squad to pretty much the bare minimum needs to survive. Use the rest of the season to tap up the next manager using any monies saved to promise a reasonable budget to tempt decent manager/players. New manager and just two good signings should ensure reasonable season ticket sales etc.

Risky I know, but desperate times require desperate measures!!
