" A New Contract For Russell Slade? "

Slade's comments might mean he is negotiating a new contract on better terms than his current one?

I consider Slade as a safe pair of hands at this time in our history and would like him to stay on as he is great value for money, even better than Mickey Mouse because Disney would want a large loan fee and a seven figure salary

Mickey Mouse could have been Manager and brought down the wage bill and got us into the top six with the players we have.

If we don't reach the top 6 his position will be in doubt and several players will be courted by other clubs.

If he goes a quick decision on a new manager would avert players leaving, if he stays it will be another season of floating in the top half as if he can't get us into the top 6 this season nothing will suggest he can next either

Yet I'm pretty sure at the start of the season. You were saying he won't get us in the top half of the table. So he has over achieved.
