Former players speak highly of him, as far as motivation and man management goes at least. Anyone working for he who shouldn't be mentioned will have a job on to be fair. But he was an absolute dinosaur the last time round. Big long balls into corners like it was 1983. He hasn't moved forward with the times but I wish him well for the future.

At the time when his reign ended it was definitely the best thing for all.  We were going down under him and thankfully Jolley came in and performed a miracle with a excrement squad to keep us up.

Yet eventually Jolley, a supposed forward thinking manager with modern ideas, reverted to a style of football very similar to Slade.  Could it be that both Slade and Jolley were massively hampered by the fact that the former non-chairman gave them a excrement budget for both playing staff and support functions?

Always liked Slade, really enjoyed his first spell in which I thought we played some great football that was direct, attack minded and very physical.  Second spell definitely didn't work and he blotted his copybook with his role in the Matt Dean attack.

I think he's onto a bit of a winner with this one.  No-one, in any profession, would be happy that performance related data is subject to such a lack of regulation and can ultimately stunt your progression.

I was hoping he might be the next Scunts manager.

Good luck to him on this. Footballers today. You and I tomorrow.

Someone said the data shouldn’t be monetised. Some companies are already deriving financial benefit from it. So why shouldn’t the people whose data it is get something and some control?


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.
