I think 40/60 is being way over-generous Moosey!


Only off the top of my head.   ..will have to do an actual run down and maybe re calculate...point is while like any manager some signings work and some dont, he has also had remnants of 2 entirely different  managers teams to deal with as well, which compounds every one of his signings that dont work.

Hes brought in two young players who might turn out good, one average journeyman and a crock of shite on permanent deals, no way is that a 40/60 split

If "God forbid" we get relegated to the Conference we won't need a clear out , we will already have the players that are just about good enough for that level..

I wouldn't want some of the crap he has signed playing for us if we went down.

Quoted from horsforthmariner
Do you know how many first team regulars we actually own who are under the age of 30  is?  The answer is just 4 - Macca, Mills, Summerfield and Dembele (maybe 5 if you include Berrett). Of these only Dembele has a contract past next summer. We've got a  squad of old timers looking for one last payday and people who know they will be out of here come May.

We have two talented youngsters - Clifton who nearly never gets in the squad and Wright, who is upset that Town never seem to bother watching him play for a tin pot outfit. So it can't be said that Slade is investing in our youth.

Slade can't be said to be clearing out the dross - the only players who have left are Clements, Osborne and Jones - our three most creative and talented midfielders. Were still left with the likes of Asante and Macalister who for whatever reason have been clearly frozen out. Our squad isn't smaller than when Bignot arrived. Now we just have a squad of less talented and less caring players.

Is building bringing in 30 somethings like Woolford, Dixon and Clarke(who is admittedly ok) and non entities like Cardwell, Kelly and Hooper at the expense of club legends like Pearson and Disley who bled for town?

So how are we building for the future? We're not investing in our youth, were not reducing the squad and we've not bought in quality.  

The reality is that this club isn't building for next season we are on the slippery slope out of this league!





Great post, I would like John Fenty to come on here and answer that then try to justify his comments in that statement.

I won't hold my  breath.

No way would the current side be good enough to challenge for promotion from the conference.

Quoted from Grantley
I find it very suspicious of how they’ve been sold/loaned out at a steady stream. For what reason did Osborne and Jones lose their desire to play for the club?


I played CM for a Sunday league club once, used to love playing for em. We had a new manager who wanted to go from back to front quickly, I spent most of the game watching the ball fly over my head and I can tell you it was proper shite, I was bored to tears and didn't enjoy playing anymore. I was shite, but at least I tried to play football, this crap Slade turns out isn't football, I can't blame Osborne or Jones for jumping ship. This sort of shite would dishearten anyone. It's bad to watch, imagine having to follow his instructions.
