Only if he got us into Europe the following season :laughing6: being serious though, it would be one of this clubs biggest ever acheivments, so yeah, IMO Slade would deffo be one of our best ever managers and he would certainly deserve tremendous amounts of praise from us all :ayatollah:

I agree with you Luke, Nigel Adkins springs to mind. If you have a £50mil budget, give it to a manager who's worked with those figures before.

Do we definitely know it will be Slade's work if we do get promoted or is Paul Trollope pulling the strings ;) :lol:

Slade would and should get all the credit he is the manager and Trollope is just part of the coaching Brian Clough got the credit not Peter Taylor. :thumbup: :sladein: :ayatollah:

It was just an example but who ultimately gets the credit in the end the manager or his assistant head coach or whatever? :thumbup: :sladein: :ayatollah:

Peter Taylor got a lot of the credit. In fact, most football fans, myself included, believed at the time that it was a double act, and that Clough would never achieved what he did without Taylor.

I see I thought Taylor got nowhere near the crdut Clough did and also another interesting one Shankly and Bob Paisley. :thumbup:

Re: If Slade gets us promoted

Shankly & Paisley were also brilliant managers in their own right. Clough & Taylor fed off each other, and neither were anywhere near as good when on their own. At their peak, they were a true double act and usually mentioned together when discussing their successes.

Clough though did win a couple of league cups after Taylor went but I agree Taylor was pivotal to his success. :thumbright:
