Slade's contempt for the fans

I realised just how messed up this club is as soon as that idiot board member bob marley started speaking at the fans forum.

I realised just how messed up this club is as soon as that idiot board member bob marley started speaking at the fans forum.

When a board member tells a fan to shut up, when the board as a collective fail to speak up for the fans (Bragate) and when they engineer for their own SLO, there's a problem. When their stewards prevent a fan from unfurling a banner, they know there's a problem. They have broken the bond between the club & its' fans and they need to seriously contemplate how much damage they are now doing to the future of GTFC.

Like I said a few posts back, Marley is an embarrassment, the sort of thing you carefully hide from view, keep from the public spotlight and hope no one ever discovers him.

Of course our bunch happily parade him in front of the media and let him do his own thing as if it's normal.
It is of course quite normal at BP these days.

I wonder if Slade would have been more accepted initially if JF had let him answer questions on why he agreed to leave before the Cardiff debacle. I suspect he wasn't allowed to answer the question because it would paint our great leader in a bad light.

Anyway it's far too late for him to win the fans round now. The sooner he goes the better so we can get enough points on the board to survive.

.........................and take Woolford with you.

There's quite a few I would like to see him take with him.

Think Fenty should take notice... most fans that have stayed away will not come back while slade is here , I know i wont

Same ... no connection between fans and people who run the club

Not one fan wanted Slade to be re-appointed at this football club.

He was always facing an uphill challenge to win us over - the value in doing so, is that when you hit a sticky patch the fans afford you more time, because you speak honestly, truthfully and respectfully.

Not Slade.

He's returned, he doesn't give a fcuk about the fans and is as narrow-minded and blinkered as the man who hired him.

My issue with this whole thing is that we all saw this coming an absolute mile off.

As soon as Hurst went to Shrewsbury, there wasn't another manager with the magic touch just waiting in the wings.

Bignot was the right sort of appointment at the time because he truly was a builder, not a fixer. His record showed he built things over seasons, not months, which is why it was a mistake to sack him - especially after a victory.

So even the way we sacked our previous manager and hired our current one was done shoddily.

John Fenty is an embarrassment. Russell Slade is an embarrassment. I hope one day they're both long gone and we have a progressive board that has some kind of long-term plan, rather than simply throwing money at plugging holes in a sinking ship.

Great post Richmariner ,totally agree with all you've said.

"My head is shrouded in darkness,the noose slowly tightens round my neck,but I believe,I believe that the tide will soon turn".  For fks sake Slade get real.
