He's probably looking forward to a six-figure pay-off. He'll probably have enough to retire on as nobody will be stupid enough to employ him again, certainly at the professional level.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO BUILD?! The period of transition as you call it has been made 10x worse by your appalling recruitment. Half the players you've brought in have been so terrible they can't even get in the match day squad. And several of the team are in the 30's. How is that building something?!. Go now before you do any more damage and don't you dare set foot near Blundell Park ever again.

I'm a patient, non reactive sort of man, but what the f*** is it you're building there Russ? It's completely ludicrous and patronising to think you can endlessly kid people on doing nothing but ruin the club in the short term. Get out!

Getting sacked by Town is normally the death of a manager's career. Who is the last manager to be sacked by Town to go on to manage another league club? If you discount Paul Groves' brief (and pretty awful) stint at Bournemouth a few years ago, you surely have to go back as far as Lennie Lawrence don't you? It's not a great statistic for any prospective manager we might look to bring in, particularly when you condisder that assuming Slade goes, 11 out of our last 13 managers will have been sacked. Only Slade mk1 and Hurst leaving on their own terms.

To be honest I try and stay a bit more level-headed these days, and I'd say it's taken me longer than most to arrive at the opinion that Slade has to go. After tonight though, I can't help but feel is utterly indefensible. What does worry me though, is who on earth is going to want to pick up this shower of sh ite with no possibility of bringing in new players and presumably a dismal budget in the summer even in the event that we stay up. I will give Slade that much, I think he's been stitched up like a kipper with how much money's been made available. Worrying times.

Slade might not of been given the biggest budget for players but if it’s true about the size of the contract he is on then that might have had something to do with the size of the playing budget.

Hope just after that Fenty chucks his hand in.

He could’ve gone into non league and found players who would have done the business. But he chose to go the lazy route and sign a load of has beens who were on the way down and discard the younger players who were signed by previous managers .

My gut feeling tells me that the fact that tomorrow is the last day of the window might just keep him in a job until the weekend. I mean, you're unlikely as a player to sign for a manager who's liable to get sacked, but even less likely to sign for a club with no manager at all. I'm not saying I agree with this logic, but probably how it will play out in truth.

I think he'll be gone tomorrow. We're stuck either way but letting him have a final dabble in the market then sacking him after Saturdays almost inevitable defeat will be even worse.
To the board: Sack him in the morning, then rip all the phones out, shut the curtains and hide under the desk til midnight.

The way I feel tonight I'm not sure I can be arsed to expend the energy. Which is concerning in itself; if there's one thing worse than anger amongst a club's fans, it's apathy. But then, to go from where we were on the 15th May 2016, to here in a little more than 18 months, it's hard to feel anything but deflated.

I was one of the few who tried to give RS the benefit when there was the blow up at the fans’ forum. I was wrong. They seem to be in denial and sleep walking us back to the bloody awful Conference. It needs a clean sweep. Slade must go, but that still leaves the chairman. Seen all of this before and it is horrifying. How can a manager survive 2 points out of a possible 30?

I don't think we would recover from relegation to non league again.
Absolutely everything must be thrown at keeping us in this division.
If Dembele and Jones are sold tomorrow it will be reminiscent of us selling Pouton and Boulding during the League 1 relegation season.

I was one of the few who tried to give RS the benefit when there was the blow up at the fans’ forum. I was wrong. They seem to be in denial and sleep walking us back to the bloody awful Conference. It needs a clean sweep. Slade must go, but that still leaves the chairman. Seen all of this before and it is horrifying. How can a manager survive 2 points out of a possible 30?
Give him some credit, it's 3 points. If it was only 2, he'd definitely be on his way.

If he does go tonight/tomorrow, who will handle the last day of the window? I presume there may be some ins and outs.
Wilkinson probably - Another cheap option as per usual.

Rightly or wrongly (and let's face it, it's wrongly..), he'll still be in his job at the weekend. Beat Cheltenham (an absolute MUST), and he will stagger on for another week. Lose and he'll be sacked because there's nothing else the board can do in the face of total supporter opposition. We should have been more clinical and realised that he should have been sacked several weeks ago and given a new guy a shot at the window.
Slade will finish the window - and I can see very little happening in or out, and he will sing for his supper on Saturday in front of a shamefully small crowd of disappointed and angry loyal supporters.
The people who run and manage this club have totally ruined it since we were promoted to the FL, and they have killed the rekindled enthusiasm amongst its long suffering supporters. Absolute shame on you.

I'm interested to know about the project he's building. How long has it been going on? What exactly is he building? What stage is he at? Any completion date on the horizon? I think we should be told.....

Lol.did you just go down to he beach and take that picture, Cayman? Btw just an aside I think our supreme leader said that he didn't expect any of the regular 18 to be going out, it'd be just 1 or 2 of the fringe players who might get a move. Dunno what to believe any more. Suspect that the Nathan Arnold signing might be announced early tomorrow in a desperate attempt to rally the troops and divert attention from our spiral towards relegation

Funny how Bignot was also building something but got no patience when he claimed 'transition'.
If you're building something, you usually start off bad and improve. So Russ, how do you explain the fact that we were almost in the play-offs in November and now look like relegation fodder?
Was the first few months of the season a fluke? Was that the 'real' us, or not?
You make no sense, mate - because you're a liar. You're stealing a living. You're stealing our money.

I worry that the two biggest talent will be sold even if he goes. Board have to veto outgoings that will reduce our chance of staying up.

I wouldn't worry if those two players are still there at midnight tonight I will eat my hat. Most clubs would be sacking the manager after this dismal run.
Slade's position is totally untenable he's lost the fans, probably most of the players and lost the plot. He has not got a clue how to attack despite having a quality ex-striker alongside him.
Fenty has been conned into believing the bullcrap the only way forward now is to cut your losses get Dave Moore to take over even keeping Wilco on as well he might get more of a chance without egg head around.
Start a new chapter on Saturday the fans to back the players up and together we might just turn this round.

Getting sacked by Town is normally the death of a manager's career. Who is the last manager to be sacked by Town to go on to manage another league club? If you discount Paul Groves' brief (and pretty awful) stint at Bournemouth a few years ago, you surely have to go back as far as Lennie Lawrence don't you?
It's not a great statistic for any prospective manager we might look to bring in, particularly when you condisder that assuming Slade goes, 11 out of our last 13 managers will have been sacked. Only Slade mk1 and Hurst leaving on their own terms.
Bignot aside Fenty usually gives Manager`s a lot longer than the fans would to turn things around.

Totally agree and the cynic in me thinks Slade will bat today so Fenty does not have to get anymore players in? However with a squad as massive as Town`s they should not need anymore players barring maybe a proper keeper and they should be able to make a decent side from what they have.Buckley with this squad would win games and I just hope Dave Moore gets the reigns and puts some fire into their bellies because I think he could get more from them? I see enough guts and determination within that squad to get to 50 points but at present I don`t think they are being set up to do anything but lose they carry zero threat.Buckley or Moore or better still both together will put that right til May then recruit someone else to take the Club forward and trim this squad down.Sack Slade now and 4k+ home fans will turnout Saturday and at least give Cheltenham something to think about and back the team.UTM

It doesn't matter how old Buckley is I would beg him to take charge until the end of season. He doesn't have to sign anybody just teach the players to forget everything Slade has told them and show them again how to play football. How many players have improved under Slade has anything improved under Slade.We are in the shite.Nobody else can help us. What else have we to lose. We are a laughing stock. He is our only hope

Slade Posted by: TAGG Date Posted: April 11, 2017, 5:58pm SLADE OUT 👍
As true today as it was when I first posted 11/04/2017
|
| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

He sounds like a dead man walking, says he`s trying to build something fans should be patient
Bignot was trying to build for the future but at least he waited until we were safe in the league. Slade should never have been appointed, especially based on his last three appointments and not what he did ages ago.

To be honest I try and stay a bit more level-headed these days, and I'd say it's taken me longer than most to arrive at the opinion that Slade has to go. After tonight though, I can't help but feel is utterly indefensible.
What does worry me though, is who on earth is going to want to pick up this shower of shite with no possibility of bringing in new players and presumably a dismal budget in the summer even in the event that we stay up. I will give Slade that much, I think he's been stitched up like a kipper with how much money's been made available.
Worrying times.
Although I understand what you are saying I don't agree about the money available for players. If he had been on a restricted budget then how could he sign so many players in the summer? Fewer, quality players would surely have been more cost effective? Surely , as a starter, he would have retained Pearson instead of letting him go and replacing him with Clarke who is allegedly on considerably more money.

We went for Maynard, Tyler Walker, Eoin Doyle, but wasn't given enough money to sign them, so ended up with Cardwell, Hooper...

Transfer window question:
Can we still sign players on loan outside the January window, up to the old deadline in March, as in previous years? Or was that abolished?

I was just looking back on Rodger's stint as manager before he was sacked W4 D4 L10 - 3 months he had in the hot seat before JF got rid of him Looking back on Slade this season, I see we've taken 23 points from the last 23 games W5 D8 L10 - hardly any better is it? Maybe the board ( JF that is) buys in to his "building" malarkey, after all Rome wasn't built in a day and who's to disagree with RS..... a few wins on the bounce and we'll be up near the top again

He keeps talking about building and transition, but never explains what he is trying to build or what we are in transition from and to. At the moment Russ I cannot see any foundations and the only transition I can see is from playoffs to relegation. Baffled
