Still not finding his level at the bottom of league 2
Has there ever been a manager who uses worn out cliches more than Russell Slade?
How this man earns a living from football amazes me
Who gives a toss about this old numpty any more?
Didn't our esteemed owner once comment on how good a manager he was??? Imagine we had a decent manager with that team that finished 8th was it? Prob win the league by 20 points ffs.....and all he does is bang in about MM
Slade stabilised the slump we were in whilst cutting costs. Greatest manager ever? Of course not, nowhere near, but the criticism he gets is ridiculous, it's as if people had never heard of Alan Durban for example.
I hated the man when he was here. Looking back however , I think his cost cutting allowed for Warnock to come in with such freedom and the club is in a good state atm.
I'm not saying it was all Slade but Tan clearly choose him with a plan in mind and it appears to have paid off in the long run
How is that oaf still stealing a living from football I don't know!!
I think Slade did a decent job here but still needed to go.
Also I wouldn't blame him for losing fans if blame it being the fact it was the first time we weren't looking to get promoted.
It was as if Slade was in charge again during that awful first twenty minutes yesterday when none of our players could control the ball and so all we saw was the ball being wellied forward after a poor first touch. Warnock gets accused of playing "anti football and I was someone who definitely had mixed feelings about his appointment because I thought it would mean a return to the Slade plying style, or worse, but, while we're certainly direct, Warnock's football has been a very pleasant surprise. That's why I was so disappointed by our early play yesterday - it was so unlike what we've become used to.
No prospect of going up that season so decided to sod off again.
People just don't want to face the facts we've a small core fanbase. Don't go up this season, crowds will fall next. Go up, magically it's been decided by them that we're suddenly entertaining enough and nothing to do with playing Man Yoo, honest.
City could well have been in free fall , but he steadied the ship -albeit with a bland style of football - and finished the season in 8th position. I seem to remember Pilkington was our main striker for most of the season.
His biggest failings were being bald and wearing a baseball cap... important factors for a lot of people..
