Losing the Faith - Please act NOW John

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Come on John you know what’s best for the club in the short, medium and long term.

Sorry but I don’t have the same confidence in him that you do HertsGTFC.  

Quoted from HertsGTFC

What do you do p1ss gate money away or pay off a manager and his assistant? The latter can be easily replaced getting people back to BP will be an even bigger challenge.

Come on John you know what’s best for the club in the short, medium and long term.

Problem is he'd need to be paid off to cancel his contract and we don't know what his contract contains. It all comes down to money when it comes to getting rid of one manager and bringing in another. We just did this last season. Slade was a mistake but both of them are probably planning to ride out the season and hope for the best. Slade likely plans to resign if we get relegated.

As long as this mess carries on and we keep changing managers, having too big a squad and falling down the league it'll become harder and harder to attract the players we need and we already can't afford them as it is. Nobody wants to play for us even the players we have. Does anyone really know what's best for the club anymore?

Sounds good to me.

Yep, gets my vote as well. I’d also consider if he could survive another relegation from the football league, would he have the drive to do that again? I can see it coming, I really can and I despair.

Just go John, please for all of our sakes. Yours as well.

At the end of the day John's pretty much made a complete hash of things and he's not likely to suddenly start getting things right after all this time. Slade was a completely terrible choice for a manager because of his past at the club and because his method (can't bring myself to say style) of statistics based football is a) boring beyond belief, b) outdated and c) hugely unpopular. Oh, and it doesn't work. Having said that I do feel slightly sorry for John as Slade was probably seen, even by those who can't stand him myself included, that he was a safe pair of hands. The addition of Wilko gave further belief that we could get things back on an even keel and give a firm base for the future of the club. However, it just hasn't happened at all so things are worse, much worse than most would have thought possible. In fact it's all been an unmitigated disaster and we are deep deep in the brown stuff. Some thing's got to give and it's got to give NOW. Tick tock John, tick tock.

When we last went down to non league, he talked a good game and did nowt. He kept Woods as manager for a start, and never provided us with enough investment to get the best players even at that level. You only need to see where we finished in the non league table each season to see that.

He never has had any drive in the important areas of manager and player recruitment; or fan engagement, or PR or anything else for that matter, so yes I agree that Fenty should call it a day, and accept he will have to lose some of his money for the good of the club. He won't of course, and therein lies the problem.

Dear Mr Fenty, people would respect you far more if you would hold up your hands and acknowledge you had made a mistake in appointing Slade.

Instead you keep denying  the undeniable and as a result, alienating a significant proportion of your paying customers.

Time to bite the bullet acknowledge Slade was the wrong person,and starting working with the fans to make this club great again. There is more accumulated knowledge (both football and non football) amongst the fanbase than the so called advisors you are relying upon.
