Re: Slade watch

Really, really don't get the continued Slade hate / mockery.

It's like the ex where you knew the relationship was over and clearly had to end, but you want to keep slagging her off for whatever reason which clouds your view.

He was here to do a job - trim the squad, balance the books, keep us in the division. He did that - was it Barcelona-esque? Of course not, but it worked. Wouldn't have taken us up but stabilised us.

Perfect manager for us now? Obviously not. He was what we needed at that time to give a base to move on from.

Good luck to the guy.

Having had to suffer his brand of football for almost two seasons (14/15 was probably the most boring season I've watched us play), I'll always follow his career and eagerly record when his mogadon football is pissing off supporters of whoever employs him. Fair play to him, eighth wasn't a bad finish in 15/16, but he undid so much of his good work when, in the penultimate, absolutely must win, game of that season, he sent out his side to "stay in the game".

Re: Slade watch

It's just a bit of fun, but i think it stems from him being passed off as a proper manager who was supposed to be here long term.

Everyone assumes he was here to steady the ship, blah, blah, blah. But was that his mandate from Tan? Tan used to act like Russ was the real deal, and to paraphrase a "much better manager than Malky".

Seems the natives are getting restless at Grimsby;-

I see Slade didn't want to"over commit" at home to eighteenth in the table Crawley.

“We didn’t want to over commit, or under commit” WTF?!?!?

He also makes beating Port Vale away sound like a victory for David v Goliath :hehe:

We finished 8th in spite of him not because of him.

We still had a squad of good players in both his seasons here regardless of the squad trimming.

It needed trimming we had 30 - 40 senior players starting the season under Ole so even after trimming we still had a good squad of players.

As for his remit being to keep us in the division? What a load of total and utter bollocks. We were never in danger of being relegated he took over when we were mid table.

Much like Slade himself I’m sure some people think he took over Blackpool that season not Cardiff.

Re: Slade watch

It amazes me how long this witch hunt has persisted. Slade came in, did a job to cut the wage bill, and the club finished in the top 8.

Can't quite understand the hate.

Did you see a game when Slade was in charge? I saw about fifty of them and felt I had been entertained twice, maybe three times.

Re: Slade watch

Keep up the good work Bob.

For the sake of football fans all across the country he needs to be driven out of the game.

Slade is a fraud. Spread the word.

Mid table, league 2, no pot to piss in.

Hoping for a great deal better is nice, but living in reality...

Not got a pot to piss in. Like most clubs in league 2 then.

Hoping for your team to attack at home to a team struggling at the wrong end of the table. How unrealistic of them. What a deluded bunch.

Oh please, your hatred of Slade is worse than your grip on reality.

He's making them difficult to beat. Any team in that division would want to be in that position, picking up points.

A cursory view of Crawley's season would show that team "struggling at the wrong end of the table" have 11 pts out of 21 away. Won one, lose five at home.

Now, you don't have to be Stephen Hawking to grasp the evidence indicates that they are where they are due to their home form and appear to be decent away from home.

Still, should have just played 1 at the back and 9 strikers I guess.

And you say I haven’t got a grip on reality!?!? Hahaha

Your dad would be proud of your excuse making Young Russell.

Well, if you can think of sides in that division that would hate 1 loss in 7, go for it.

Nice to see you failed to reply to the evidence provided about Crawley. You'd go gung ho against a side good away from home...
