Let;s see - happy with this - just needs some backing from fans and owners

Good manager, sadly i doubt he will get the backing he requires to bring in any decent players. Still wait and see, he's a start, and i do believe the team should be doing better with the players we have. Time will tell PUSB

Positive news if true.

Positive news if true.

It's Christmas - considering the circumstances that we are in this is a top result, well done

hes no rowett

hes no rowett

If we were a league above or in the top 6, then we could maybe have got a Rowett, but unlikely at the moment

 

[Gosford Green]

Lets hope for a decent enough dead cat bounce to keep us in this league.

I do love a bit of Slade at Christmas,

My pick since that day Mowbray left. Would be well chuffed with this

 

[tom88]

To be honest anything better than Venus

However, it says contract until the end of the season. Is it just me or do I sense Slade is using us as a stepping stone.

If he's trying to do that he's come to the wrong place!

 

[dongonzalos]

Good luck to him

So here it is, Merry Christmas,
Slade's our number one,
Look to the future now
By June he'll long be gone!

Never heard of this HITC website before, is it legit?

 

[clint van damme]

Till the end of season! So if he does OK we'll have a few months of will he won't he before we know whether he's staying or not.
Of course, if he's shit, we can bin him easily!

 

[jimmyhillsfanclub]

If true, good luck...you'l need dollops of it!

As for Slade as manager, my reaction is the same as it was for Tony Mowbray.......meh!

Interesting that its only to see the season thru......wonder if that was driven by the club or him??

We did it with Mowbray too though didn't we? 14 games.....then see where we stand?

....seems fairly reasonable for both parties I reckon.

We don't do parties here, just wakes.

The mans proved he can work on free's only and still make a resilient team, no backing required, just a budget however big, small or dwindling..... he's a top man manager, I expect to see a improved sordell with him around. A man motivator!!!
Our only hope of survival

Bah humbug to the usual moaners. Good manager.

Fast forwards to September next year.
