The ideal candidate in my eyes needs to have at least 8 years in management, experienced relegation dog fights, and succeeded in survival, and enjoyed good campaigns ideally promotions. Experience in the lower leagues and understands the level, what it takes to win and the type of player, and...

And that many top class footballers down fall as a manager... it's not them playing anymore with all there experience it's the piss poor players at this level he's got to get playing. Many fail as they are used to working with like minded top professionals.

Looking at his cv I'm not so sure I just don't see it. Playing career was at a high level, so not much to suggest it. Cut his teeth managing Royal Antwerp, then Burton and QPR. Still very inexperienced less than 150 games maybe. Never experienced a relegation fight too. Sure he will have high...

I'd hardly call 13 months in league 2 and 1 plenty of knowledge. Yes he's experienced a promotion with burton taking over from Gary rowett who'd done the leg work and built a established squad. Jimmy simply guided the ship, still a good job done but he's simply never took over a struggling team...

JFH is not the man for this job, he's very inexperienced in management. A disaster at QPR, burton were a very solid established side that Gary Rowett set up and missed out on a few play offs before going up. JFH has done nothing as a manager that we need right now. Disastrous!!

Thanks for that. if this is so there is nothing stopping him from watching us now in a form of scouting exercise to see more about this club. He maybe if he's interested in the job. The main thing is whoever the new man is he needs as much time to assess the job and more importantly scour the...

In my mind there is only one man that gives a glimmer of hope for survival. Russell slade. A veteran at this level, knows how to survive and get teams playing, contacts in the game.... the quicker he's in and sees the task in hand the better before January frees and loans are hopefully signed.

In all fairness to him it looks like he resigned from Yeovil after cut backs and struggled to build on the back of a playoff final. I've heard Steve Cottrell and paul tisdale of Exeter say it's difficult to get players to go down there, and it's not a big catchment area. The second time he's...

A man of slades calibre and number of years in the game I'm sure he'd identify a suitable midfield enforcer wether on loan or free until the summer. TM went out and got grant ward when we was struggling too. It's the same situation any gaffer will find but with the contacts he'd of built up...

Sordell in my opinion would benefit in a 442 system feeding off a target man

Also favours a traditional 442 big man little man combo. No nonsense defenders. Quoted as saying he has no energy sappers in his dressing room.

Seems a easy fix tho, * don't have a relegation on his cv * never paid a fee for a player at Leyton Orient. * available with no compensation fee needed. Surely that appeals to sisu

I really do believe he fits the mould of the man needed to rescue this club, his work on his cv speaks for its self. The "board" need to act quickly to give the man time, hopefully slade

Safety first Otis. He's a lower league dream compared to our nightmare

Unfortunately no, PE teacher I believe was one of his trades. Might be a useful hod carrier tho!

Russell Slade's managerial records Scarborough Joins in November 2001 with club adrift at the bottom. 2001/02 finish 12th in conference -league survival 39pts from 57 in 19 games 2002/03 7th in conference 2003/04 15th in conference -FA Cup run beating Hinckley, Doncaster, Port Vale and...

It needs a new man to come in, a complete outsider to look at this current crop on the payroll and use it the best he can in a fresh perspective. For me it's 442, if things ain't working revert to what were all taught a basic 442 and everyone is comfortable with. Use mcbean until his loan...

A few Russel slade facts to suggest the job should be his ASAP Russel slade never brought a player at Leyton orient... Took Yeovil Town Grimsby town and Leyton orient to play off finals... Kept a struggling Scarborough and Brighton up in there respective leagues.... His cv fits the current and...

Russell slade for me, been around long enough and no's the level of league one and two. Gareth ainsworth is a up and coming manager who will demand nothing but 100% from his players, but I feel we need a experienced campaigned manager.

Beggars belief that if 95% of city fans underperform at work you'd expect to be disciplined, life in the football world.... It's right tho we could travel for free and live a life of luxury the amount we're owed back over the years! Be the new ppi claims in football, claiming back thousands
