'Flash' could refer to the cut of their jib. One in his baseball cap and trackies prowling around in the technical area versus the other posing hands on hips in his Gieves and Hawkes suit trying to look good for the cameras.

true. no good managers out there who wear suits on touchline.....

Sure we will soon see;

- he's crap shows how far we have fallen appointing him
- he's a monkey being paid peanuts
- Shitzu only coughing up until end of season shows we are selling everything by then and then we'll be liquidated
- club is dead he must be desperate

Blah blah blah

As usual my glass is 'half-full', optimistic!

Best we could hope for aside from Sisu going.

It's sad that Malaka is, unsurprisingly, full of shit about a takeover. But considering that was always more hope than expectation this is a good result. Just the kind of manager we need.

See you all in 18 months when we want him sacked because he hasn't bucked the club's trend for the last 9 years.

This is great news, all we need now is for Sisu to piss off and it'll be a fantastic Xmas.

It seems they don't like the news that we got a manager, still, they are only negative about SISU and not CCFC...

Can I be the first one ask for a Merry Christmas by Slade?

edit: apparently not, just seen post above...

Ffs, 41% on the CT poll not happy with Slade but when polled on thr back of the Hasselbaink story around 80% were happy.

Christ what do they want? I am no expert at all, but his experience at this level would seem he's the best choice ....and it's either that or stick with Venus. They must be on another planet.

The power of a 'name' and, tbh, that's what holds English football back - we tend to appoint based on playing ability.

That's not to say Hasselbaink won't make it as a manager, mind... and arguably he's made a good start in showing good judgement in turning us down!

Exactly, people are obsessed with names.

It's like when we signed Chris Stokes. People want big names, they have silly expectations.

Bump.
As there has been a bit of debate in another thread.
Doesn’t really answer the question as not many were inclined to offer an opinion.
Possibly too underwhelmed or resigned to the fate that awaited .

My opinion given on this thread is still correct, given the time and circumstances of club and manager.

As it happened, he turned out to be the wrong appointment at the wrong club.

I remember being relatively giddy after one game (want to say Bolton?) where we looked good for the first time in forever, and that combined with us having an actual/alleged manager in charge rather than whatever Mark Venus was made me think Slade was what we needed. Feeling didn't last.

The most important stat about him we need to worry about in the short term is he's never been relegated with any of his sides!!!
Well we soon fucking sorted that stat out, didn't we!!!!!

Did well against Bolton and in the end dividing line is thin. We conceded injury time equalisers in 3 early games of his.

Yeah But that's not why I bumped the thread.
Merely to emphasise there was very little debate either way prior to him coming ,plenty later on or afterwards, unless there's a better thread as a reference somewhere?
