Quoted from sam gy
I don’t ‘hate’ Slade at all. In fact, I’d go as far to say that he comes across as an alright bloke. And at least he moved to the area and got himself out and about in the town. I know many people who bumped into him out and about and he always stopped for a chat.

He just wasn’t very good at his job.


I certainly don't hate him either but found his surprisingly thin skin and defensiveness, despite his years and years as a manager, confusing. All in all it has to go down in club history as one of the strangest appointments and tenures as manager. He didn't seem to want to do anything to win over the fans, at all and seemed more content to remain completely at odds with them almost the whole time he was here.

Hate is a very strong emotion. As The Vicar says too strong for people you don't know.
In his first spell Slade did at least give us some great moments-Spurs at home, Derby away, play off semi wins v Lincoln.
Lyons provided virtually unbridled misery...
Newell provided totally unbridled misery


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Quoted from Mrs Doyle
Mike Lyons was a nasty piece of work I will never forget him slating Tony Ford at a training session allegedly calling him a black ******d in front of players and onlookers alike.

Tried to do everything himself but failed he ended up selling all the decent players then fooked off to Aussie land or something rumor was though he was brought in to sell the valuable players by the then board and Dud Ramsden I think.

Newel was more interested in the bar and also run this club into the ground.


When Lyons was manager I went to the Fulham game at home and my old man said were gonna get battered today. 4-0 we lost and got played off the park. Such a shame really because that and the Arsenal game at home in the FA cup are the only two games of Lyon's reign that spring to mind. Newell on the other hand was a train crash waiting to happen.
