Done okay elsewhere though. His record is pretty good.From what I have seen of Slade he is a shit manager and listening to him about as useful in the role as a shaved monkey.
Jimmy FH must be pissing himself laughing that he could have been here with these mugs.

He does look like he doesn't know what he is doing at the moment, but as I say he came in with us already in disarray.
If he stays I think we need to give him 10 games next season before judging.
Okay, then so who?I wouldn't give him ten games this season, don't think he was great at Charlton and Cardiff soon shifted him out of the way
It's not just the results but the football has been awful, I'm all for a fast direct approach but Slade is just delivering turgid hoofball. It's just been long balls to tudgay, beavon and Thomas from the beginningI still feel if you was to give him a summer to build a squad on frees to take on league two he'd get a very competitive side of "his players" something so very hard to do in January. League two is even more physical and crap football on crap pitches in some old fashioned grounds that this current group will get rolled all over week in week out, even more than what we're currently seeing, the club needs stability for a change.
This is of course if he'd actually still wanted to stick around and this club in its current off the field state and war between fans and owners.
I do fear tho if we don't have a manager in place we will have another summer of poor recruitment in the same situation in league two with kids and loans not a experienced core of players with the no how to see games out and the little tricks were so often on the end of.

I am convinced if Slade goes Ricketts would get it.
The long ball can work though if you have a big target man and a speedy goal getter alongside.It's not just the results but the football has been awful, I'm all for a fast direct approach but Slade is just delivering turgid hoofball.

Millwall played a lot of long balls yesterday. You just need the right personnel.
Where do I sign up? (I'm in the idiot category by the way)Russell Slade is like all the recent managers, on a hiding to nothing.
I would like him to walk like Mowbray did but then who wants to come to this festering sore of a club at present?
Actually only someone who is an idiot or desperate or supremely confident would consider us as a career option.

Too late now he had the chance in the window and seemed to forget that he could sign players and was having endless midfielders in on trial.
Just the chavs who are casual fans and dont follow football.But many on here wanted Russell Slade ?

442. Get into them! Etc
I was a bit meh about him. Someone then though pointed out his managerial record and on paper he looked the right sort of bloke for the job.I didn't want him , my brother lives in Cardiff and supports the blue birds. He told me the footy under shade was back to the dark ages and he had no plan b.... for fooks sake we haven't won a league game since he came here .. he has to go , not that he will, or we are doomed...
Apparently you OtisI was a bit meh about him. Someone then though pointed out his managerial record and on paper he looked the right sort of bloke for the job.
Fisher said there were something like 70 applications.
I wonder who else applied?
Nothing personal. You just backed wrong horse. I imagine you think all foreingers dive. Tiki taka is for pansys etcChav's....? Care to elaborate, quite a statement that.

Bet you love it when pep guardiola loses a game etc.
We were playing shite football under Mowbray. His first four home games were against some of the worst teams in the division and we barely mustered a shot at goal in any of them.
Hes had a window. No1 to blame but hinself.
Miwbray and venus both did better with a bad squad.
Seems things turn sour very quickly... and most now want him gone. He's not been given the luck from the gods with the results with the "new manager bounce theory" and undoubtedly the performance lately have been very poor.
That said....No other manager out there would of produced anything different with the state of the squad he inherited from MV.
Me I think he's had very bad luck and it's been fine lines on most games regardless of performance. We could of been 6 points better off with confidence a little higher if luck had been with us.
Bristol Rovers he should of taken a watching brief... 4-0 defeat, sees first hand the scale of the job.
Peterborough minutes from victory for our No1 keeper to suffer sticky boots... 1-1
Bolton again inches from a hard fought victory but for Reilly to stop his run in the whistlegate episode... and a George Thomas disallowed goal. 2-2
Chesterfield, was a poor performance overall but again a Tudgay goal disallowed.. 1-0
Fleetwood, not a pretty game but so nearly gained a point against the leagues form side who had scored in every game but one and were on winning run. 0-1
Northampton, early Willis red stopped any real chance of victory and another poor display. 3-0
Millwall, was the better of 2 poor sides for spells but a Burge error from a corner and not delt with defensively. Then Millwall score from 2nd string penalty claim from the game. Lack of stikers and goals for 4th game says everything about the season. 0-2.
The football has not been pretty but Slade did say after the Bristol Rovers game we were not doing the basics right and was clear confidence was very low, and since the luck is not going our way it seems it's becoming harder to lift the players belief or in reality the players have not got the belly for the fight after becoming detached from the safety places. We were asking him to turn a confidence shot squad of kids into a competitive group that only weeks before his arrival were disgraced at Cambridge, Southend and Oxford.
RS tried to bolster the squad and I feel the only players that he got that really wanted that he would call his was Clarke, Beavon and Foley and the loans of Rawson and vernam. Rawson was one to cover Willis or replace Turnbull and add some much needed height and muscle. Vernam a attacking midfielder with pace, trickery and a eye for goal. Reilly was clearly drafted in as Stevenson looked to be off, so a quick fix as part of the sordell/Beavon deal. Folivi although we've not seen him yet was clearly just another body who may be of use as other targets fell away choosing other better offers.
This is still not his desired match day squad or even starting 11
Mowbray is one of the reasons we are where we are now.If I was Venus I'd have been begging mowbray to come back
Too late now but he would have kept us up if he hadn't walked away

It is and you are right, the summer dealings shaped our season. It's a lot less to do with how many games someone had or didn't have in charge, it's about not putting a competitive squad out there for this league in the first place.Unfortunately this is true, his short fall of summer dealings have shaped our season.
TM's recruitment left us well short. And RS will carry the title of the man who was in charge when we went down by the looks of it.
A sad season all round.
Thing is, league games are more important if you believe you have any chance of staying up.Regarding a win on Tuesday night being the one glimmer of hope for the fans, it seems to have gone fairly unnoticed that I his post match comments (mainly fuelled by the idiot from CWR saying that they had spoken to a "couple" of fans and they said they would rather take staying in League 1 over a trip to Wembley - (God knows who would have said that!) and slade then agreeing!) that he isn't seeing Tuesday as being as important as league games!! Having seen the league games under him, that is rather worrying! Especially as it is the one glimmer of hope that most of the fans have in light of the last 50 odd years of nothing! (87 excepted)
This comment really wound me up but like I said seems to have gone unnoticed!!
