Andy legg says slade had a good squad when he took over

Tue Jan 20, 2015 11:39 pm

Made some comments on slade.Compared him unfaveroubly to birmingham manager who has not brought any one new in, had a weaker squad yetbeen climbing the table steadily. Same story at Bolton. Bolton and birmingham was at the bottom when slade was appointed. Birmingham are now ahead of us with one game less played. Bolton 1 point behind us with one game less played.

The club is in turmoil and has been for a long time.

I don't think Slade is the answer but neither is he the problem. Big earners are going out and cheap grafters brought in. He's clearly barking to the orders of above. Costs are being cut big time. We all wanted blue back but we knew it would come with a hefty price.

Get used to it & back the team.

Slade may have had a decent squad when he took over (talent wise, but not character wise), but then Tan told him to offload all his most talented players!

Glad there's more than just me that sees it.

Twitter & forums are cringeworthy just now!

Well legg was saying that the birmingham manager who by the way also came from lower league done much better with an inferior squad. Meaning a lower league manager can do well taking on a squad that isn't his own even a squad thats not very good or expensive.

Slade has been told to cut the squad, big difference. Are you going to burst your balls for a manager who has told you that you'll be on your way at the first opportunity? Of course not. Players are sitting in the stand because he's been told not to pick them so they don't get big appearance money.

Look at what's going out and what is replacing it - that's the way it's gonna be.

Nobody was bothered about what division we were in as long as we were in blue.

It's the old careful what you wish for scenario. VT doesn't seem to be giving a f**k at the moment.

Andy Legg talk crap. I think Slade is useless but quality wise the squad was not good, it was big but sparse on quality
