Quoted from Theimperialcoroner
Slade was the bad apple. Osborne and Clements should have been managed. They weren’t. They were hung out to dry by a bullying old  PE teacher.


You saying he'd be played by Brian Glover (if he were still alive) in the film version?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from ginnywings
It was all about getting the bigger earners off the books and coasting 'til the end of the season. Trouble is, we got rid of too many and were left with no flair whatsoever and nearly paid the price. I'm now glad Slade fooked up, because it meant he has gone, never to return, and i think the whole Slade episode may well be the catalyst that finally make the club take a long hard look at how they do things. It should do anyway, but i'm not counting my chickens just yet.


Agree completely, but there is no evidence to suggest this board learns from it's mistakes. I don't know if Slade really was as inept as it appears or is it more likely he was under instruction to clear out the high earners from Bignot's brief reign? Agree the board / RS thought it had enough points and went into coasting mode from Christmas, but I do not have faith the board will learn. Three brushes with relegation from the football league and six long years in the cesspit suggest they don't.

Brian Glover in the film Kes, was 100% like my sport's teacher at school.

I never stop laughing when I see it.
Denis Lawson would play and referee, amazing the free kicks he got, and the opposition none.

Superb.

We'll see how good he is by where he goes in the summer. I'm going for Conference north.

Some managers are rubbish at man management, if a player is not fit for any reason some of them don't even speak to the player until they are available for selection.

Forget the duty of care they should be showing,

I imagine Slade is one of those who discounts any player if they are not available for selection.

Is Clements any good ?  I have no idea but he was entitled to a bit of compassion from his employers, very poor GTFC.

I would like to add I hope that MJ has a bit more about him when a player has a personal problem,

I believe he will show he has compassion along with his tactics and brains.

Pete, with respect that is all supposition on your part. I don't think any of us are party to what may have gone on and how he might have been treated.

If I remember correctly  Slade said Clements returned late and overweight ,

It was not until a couple of weeks  had gone by that we heard his mother had died,

By then Slade wanted him gone so he went.

No mention that the club needed to support him at that difficult time
