Totally agree. Not good enough for the majority of our fans though. What's the alternative? Let's pay a new manager 4 million a year instead of Slade's 125k a year, gamble on spending millions on big name players, pay out a fortune in wages for these players and risk financially finishing our club off once and for all shall instead shall we? :sladein:

I agree, you can't have it both ways. I voted no, because my personal judgement from watching 40+ years of football is that Slade hasn't got the ability/presence / charisma to manage players over and above a certain quality. I believe he will drag us down to a level and a manner of play that he relates to. Buying young or experienced and limited layers suits tan's agenda because he wants to reduce the debt (although Ameobi does buck this trend to a degree, I admit).

We have no choice to give him a chance, and I do hope I'm wrong. But whilst there are no certainties in fotball, a Slade/VT combination comes close.

Every manager deserves our support however there comes a time when you lose confidence in that manager if things do not go to plan.

Based on the 6 months of dire, boring football dished up by the team under Slade last season I am surprised that so many still have confidence in Slade. What evidence is there to suggest that he is going to take the team forward? Do these fans not want to see attacking attractive football with a team that can string more than a couple of passes together without playing hoofball and scoring plenty of goals?

Unfortunately I have not seen anything to date to suggest that he could provide this type of football. He seems very limited in his ability, strange team selections and poor tactics. If he turns it around this season then he deserves credit however If he doesn't it could be a long boring season.

Re: POLL " RUSSELL SLADE "

Wed Jul 22, 2015 1:42 pm

He will get my support. But NO i dont believe he is the man to take us forward. Style of play is awful.
Personally id put Trollope in charge now. Hopefully taking tips of Coleman's style of football which would suit our squad so i wouldn't want us to spend on a new manager either. Just need someone young and with a flexible approach to new tactics not an old dinosaur with 442 stubbornness.
I agree with you tho, It will be Slades head whether we succeed or fail. I'm hoping he proves me wrong, but just cant see it :ayatollah:

Can we have a not sure option please.

I'll back him until January window opens then see where we are. Until then he has my full backing so can't say yes or no.

Re: POLL " RUSSELL SLADE "

Wed Jul 22, 2015 5:04 pm

I voted yes. I want him given a chance any manager would struggle taken over after the joke that was OGS. Slade has steadied ship and now after a full pre season needs to show us what he's got.

Let's back our manager and our team. We are tied on points at the top of the league right now. Let's see what the season brings before we get down and call for heads
