Slade gone (19 Viewers)

SkyBlueScottie · Mar 5, 2017

Confirmed on Twitter by Laura Hunter that he has gone. She also states a further announcement tomorrow.

SkyBlueRuffian · Mar 5, 2017

I know Ricketts wasn't brilliant for us but was always very vocal on the pitch and was excellent in the changing rooms with the youngsters, but we won't go there!!

Irish Sky Blue · Mar 5, 2017

Would be good to let John Sillett lead the team out at Wembley.

Thats great and promise not to put my picture up again unless its voted for lol!:muted:

At least now the team will be selected and set up to play proper football, and if it is Sam Rickets he will use that midfield we played yesterday, just hoping he can get something going with the strikers too. A question, do you think he will favour Rcc above Burge?

Young, up and coming, seems to fit what they've always been on the look out for!

Could do worse.

I'd much rather we go for someone to form a long term plan, but then if we got them now and it fell flat before the end of the season, we'd end up wanting them out before the end of the season too

Another example of our mis management. Would that be four managers in 1 season?

No one here can say if ricketts will be good or not. But one thing i thibk he does offer is the fsct hes just retired. He knows how todays footballers operate and wether they need a disciplinary or arm over shoulder etc

Thought Fisher might have done it a bit nearer the trust meeting to muddy the waters

matesx · Mar 5, 2017

Good luck Sam

dongonzalos · Mar 5, 2017

Another scapegoat bites the dust when will the people at the top take some responsibility. When will somebody at the top be held accountable for either not having the ability to employ a manager capable of doing the job at a level that they find acceptable.
Or be held accountable for setting the overriding club strategy that leads to failure at every aspect of the club bar the academy, which they are also now putting at risk

No great loss.

Dont really care who takes over, there is no way they could ever be as bad as Slade has been for us.

italiahorse · Mar 5, 2017

The manager makes no difference under this basketcase regime.
We might as well put a monkey in charge.
We are rotten to the core and with Venus an Fisher still here nothing will change.

wingy · Mar 5, 2017

I'm calling that 'rejected', Sunderland fan that was on here a couple of months ago, flogging his book.

Ibby · Mar 5, 2017

He's had his chance!!! Been there long enough ! Its a shame the Club is going down. Its has to be proper manager , who needs to come in and build the team.

Think he would be a positive influence over a young squad

Let's hope he can bring more modern day tactics to the game, along with coaches

We had a monkey in charge lets try somebody who has some idea

Otis · Mar 5, 2017

If a new man is to be announced tomorrow it has to be Sam Ricketts surely.

Unless the board have been lining someone up behind Slade's back.

It's been a disastrous appointment.

He's come in and made a failing side even worse, despite 8 signings.

Disagree I'm afraid, of course the manager makes a difference, if he can get these lads to gel and play with some pride as a TEAM also gain and keep their trust and respect then we will see a massive improvement. I do agree Venus and Fisher need gone ASAP though

NOW the survival race is back on baby!!!!!

Terry Gibson's perm · Mar 5, 2017

Ricketts as manager with Farndon to assist as he won't have much to do next season by the looks of the academy.

Or Turdgay but he must be just a manager and can't play:emoji_pray:

Wasn't expecting that!

Least you got your answer to your worst manager ever thread

NortonSkyBlue · Mar 5, 2017

Slade was a shockingly bad choice in retrospect and I feel he was always pushing the shit back in.
I wish the same action was taken on Fisher for his abysmal stewardship of our club.
No lights on therefore no tunnel.

skybluebeduff · Mar 5, 2017

Good, we might go down with some dignity after all.

Going to go down as the worst season in memory for long, long time isn't it.

What a shambles.

Wyken Sky Blue · Mar 5, 2017

Good riddance!

Time to get that manager who will instantly promote us back to League 1.

Whoever would have thought, that Waggot leaving, could have had such an effect on the quality of leadership within the club.

AndreasB · Mar 5, 2017

No, should be Fisher. He has brought some much needed stability and financial security to the club.

lordy_87 · Mar 5, 2017

Ricketts won't keep us up but will try to get us playing good football and give the younger lads a go. I'd imagine he'll have the respect of the players and let them play with freedom. At least we might go down with some kind of pride.

trevelfarandwide · Mar 5, 2017

If it's actually true, good call, but too little too late. Plus, it was a gamble to appoint Slade in the circumstances...well, any manager is a gamble under this club's climate.

Give Ricketts a go, if he fails, oh well. If he doesn't, we may at least go down kicking and screaming, and take that into next season.

Whoever takes the job is bound by a climate of constriction, obstacles and inherent failure. We can but hope, yet again.

Why didn't he go after us losing on Tuesday?

Wow 4 managers in one season ,hope the new manager gets the ball on the deck where most of these players have learnt to do instead of hoofing in the air

My contact said something around the Bigi issue had caused a problem.

Anyway it will be Ricketts apparently.

Bigi issue, was he selling them on the side??
