Slade's inability to attract talent will lead to relegation

I can see Slade facing the chop in the first few months of the season and then the new manager will have an uphill struggle on their hands to save the club from falling further down the leagues. Tan is trying to be clever and is trying to save money by paying lower wages to a manager but he also needs to realise that a club dropping down the leagues becomes an insignificance and the revenue that can be generated is also far lower. I believe the signature of Slade is going to cost him and the club big time. Fact is, players know his style of football is dire and he has no history or charisma either to draw players in. What does he offer players? Absolutely nothing at all. The only thing he can offer them is money but thats not going to happen whilst Tan keeps a close eye on funds to stop overspending again. We need a manager who can sell the club to players and make them want to come and wear the shirt, not a manager like Slade.

You need to face facts that we are cost cutting and we won't be signing anyone big at this moment in time and there is nothing wrong with signing bargain basement players they could turn out to be gems and I trust Slade to unearth them and we have got quality already in my opinion and we are nowhere near relegation outfit.

You've been too fickle to be taken seriously sorry mate, Slade is inept and he's not going to be turning anything around anytime soon!

What do you mean fickle? and I have got a feeling that Slade will turn it around.

We beat Forest twice, Leeds away, Brentford away. Grounded results out against Wigan, Rotherham, Birmingham. Etc.
We are not a relegation team.

Yes but that was last season. I don't think we will be relegated this coming season, but you can forget about what we did last time around, it counts for nothing. Teams change and you can beat someone 4-0 one year, and get absolutely hammered by them the following year.

Yes get Marino in and offer player peanuts bound to want to come just because its Marino the money doesn't matter? Basically That's what you are saying!

A zillion per cent correct

Slade is shite and its time for him to go before he makes us an even worse team than we already are

i dont think its about an inability...more budget....we are shopping in poundland remember.....forget harrods....

Steve so on your reasoning we could actually turn our losses from last year into wins this year
And slade could quite easily turn us into a quality football playing team
So in theory I'm agreeing with you but with I different outcome
Which one of our outcomes will be right we will just have to wait and see

Yes. You can completely forget about results last season. They are not going get us, or cost us any points this season. Seen plenty of teams narrowly avoid relegation one season, and then be right in the promotion battle the following season. Squads and managers and owners change, and everyone will start with a clean slate. As things stand right now, I think we have a mid table side. If we can add a bit of quality, we may get involved with the battle for the play offs. If we sell a couple of our better players and don't replace them with the right quality needed for this league, we could end up down the other end of the table. Until our squad is finalised, it's difficult to guess which direction we will take,

Give Slade a chance. He was on a hiding from the fans from the start even before he joined us from day one.
Whatever manager took over had to get rid of players and dramatically cut the wages, where as we were top of the championship and Malky had a massive budget and Hull and Palace stayed up so basically we bought the wrong overpaid players.
I'm a fan of Malkys tactics but the players he bought were terrible to be honest and fairplay to Tan he splashed the cash.
I still think that we need to heavily invest in our scouting system.
Th

Just take Bournemouth and even the jacks, they both seem to pick up players within a low budget and develop them.

There is a chance Slade could pull it off and we have a squad as it stands that could get into the top 6,Trollope is also sortin the boys out..he had a good impact last season so its gd to c wa happens this time from the off.

People need to chil and see wa happens, on n let the fact go that Slade sent Jones out on loan for a bit

we've already got enough talent, in fact we need to let some go. One or two well placed additions is all we need and even without them we are unlikely to get relegated.
