Another Slade story:

A Sunday paper had an article about Harry Kane yesterday.  When he was on loan at Leyton Orient as a youngster, Slade played him as a number 10  and in midfield. Surprised he did not put him in goal.

Slade was bloody awful.

If you had to sum his second tenure in one sentence it'd be something like:

Sold our most promising creative assets and replaced them with absolute dross on two-year contracts that he then replaced with too many loan players inside six months while playing some of the most turgid football seen at Blundell Park since the last time he was here.

It was an utter disaster from the start. He should never have been appointed, but what can you do when the man in charge makes a beeline for him because he's a good mate?

Fenty let his personal emotions get in the way of running a football club, and if that appointment ultimately contributes to our downfall then it's unforgivable.

This is how JF comes unstuck he picked Slade when he must have known around half the fanbase would be up in arms and the slightest hint of a bad run would see a full blown revolt.A gamble at best very odd and very destructive.

Personally, I backed Slade when he returned. I believe he was probably shafted somewhat at the end of his contract, anyway why let his contract expire? Can’t blame him for seeking employment elsewhere if your employer doesn’t commit to you. We let players contracts expire, good ones.
