So imagine how Slade feels when he can not only bring in the players he wants, but only be allowed to bring in certain players on low wages to cut the wage bill? After drastically cutting the wage bill last season, imagine how Slade feels this season when he isn't given a penny to pay a transfer fee for one player? Instead, Slade has only been allowed to sign 1 player on loan, 2 free transfers and a player Tan's Belgian team sorted out for us (who I think will hopefully do well for us).
If Sherwood struggled at Villa with LITTLE backing, how would he do for us with NO backing? In fact, how would ANY manager do for us having to make do with our current squad with no further backing? I think Slade is doing a much better job for us than most managers could. Add the fact he's cheap on only 125k a year, we should be thankful. We could be a LOT worse off!

You know I'm a fan of Slade and have cringed at the usual suspects piling in this week as per however Slade's transfer market dealings leave a lot to be desired. He's had money and has not spent it well.

I know you're a Slade fan, so I'm surprised you're criticising his dealings.
Slade had to get rid of reserve players like Eikrem and replace him with O'Keefe on probably a third of Eikrem's wage. That's what he's had to put up with to trim our wage budget.

If he didn't sign O'Keefe, he would have had to sign another ball winning midfielder to replace Eikrem.

Sherwood not the manager we need , when Slade does go due to style of football and further crowd reduction we need a more dynamic manager , problem is on £125k a year no one will join
