Tragic, moved upstairs by the city, sacked by Charlton, sacked by Coventry. All in less than one season. Perhaps everyone now realises he's been stealing a living for all of the years that he has been a football manager/impostor.
Tandy seems to have given up his WUM act. A bit tricky to continue with it in the face of all the contrary evidence really.
He'll still maintain that Russ is dynamic and has a magnetic personality.
Funnily enough Mr Morris was of the same opinion so he duly banned me. I am unable to comment on the latest developments without risking a more significant ban. All members of CCMB can discuss our former manager bar me.Originally Posted by Vimana.

Who has it happened to?
Sacked by two CCFCs in less than a year...the Fat Controller's fallen on hard times.
Slade did a pretty good job for us though. Since then, this hatred for Slade has been generated by people who are fed up of Tandy, it's not really anything to do with Slade any more.
Spot on Colonel
Very True. Slade was asked to do a specific job, and he did it. The problem was that "entertainment" wasn't part of the job description.
The real villain of the piece here is Trollope imho, but even then I think he fell into the old trap of being promoted to a position he wasn't ready for.
As you say, most of the anti-slade posts are more to do with Tandy than Slade imho.
Am I actually reading this right? That it is my fault that "grown men" slagged our former manager off?
You and the Colonel need to have a word with yourselves.
I don't recall slagging Slade off tbh, I just think the football he served up was boring.Am I actually reading this right? That it is my fault that "grown men" slagged our former manager off?

And yeah, I think if it wasn't for you, nobody would mention slade on here.
Childish? Absolutely.
Also, our average attendance that season was 15,847
Take away the final four, where we were basically giving away tickets (which accounted for almost a third of the season's total attendance) and that drops to 13,811
Of course it's not your fault, but I think what they mean is that most people only persisted with the Slade bashing once he'd gone to piss you off.Am I actually reading this right? That it is my fault that "grown men" slagged our former manager off?

Now get to bed Russ, the jobcentre opens at nine.
This.
By the same token, imho if it were not for jursey and Chris, the wurzels and Leeds would barely get a mention on here.
Speak for yourself CC. Especially as you never went to watch any of RS's shyte idea of football and how to play it.
It was so shit that the last 4 games attracted
28,000
27,000
24,000

Weren't we giving away tickets at that point?It was so shit that the last 4 games attracted

I don't hate Slade and I wish him well, but to call his football entertaining is , well, just plain wrong
True.
I think this is true for most on here, though not all.
Slade did some things quite well - reducing the squad and wage bill whilst finding a way to play that got us to 8th - but the football was dire, his selections were ultra conservative, he stiffled the youth players and his interviews became cliche-ridden froth. It was time to go.
I shouldn't care about his managerial career any more - he is nothing to do with my club. However, the Tandy factor does make it difficult to resist Slade threads at times.
I totally disagree that Trollope was a villain. Trollope was a true football man who was committed to turning this club around, but for one reason or another his man management skills weren't up to the task and further goes to show that a good coach doesn't always equate to a good manager.
Slade was a chancer who somehow blagged his way through 18 months at this club. He should have gone after the Watford debacle around Christmas time just before he brought Trollope in.
I've outlined the reasons i thought so little of him many times and none of this had anything to do with Tandy.
I don't take pleaure in him being sacked at Coventry though (the part once he moved on was to do with Tandy baiting) I'm just glad i no longer have to endure his "brand" of football.
