Wasn't he recruited by Venus?For me it's looking more and more like a panic decision from Tim, to recruit the sap in the cap.
Bingo he was venus's choice to replace himWasn't he recruited by Venus?
Shush we don't like logic herw, it was sisu....sisu I tell you SISUUUUUUUU ARGHHHHWasn't he recruited by Venus?
I've said this so many times but it doesn't sink in.Wasn't he recruited by Venus?
Invented a rumour today that RS wasn't first choice and was a panic appointment.
First choice couldnt come in at the time. If they had we may have been alright.
Sat here this evening, full of regrets about this season. I think everyone is in agreement that we completely fucked up the summer recruitment and SISU need to get out immediately. However, there's one fatal error that is really getting to me...why on earth did we hire Russel Slade??
For me it's looking more and more like a panic decision from Tim, to recruit the sap in the cap. There's nothing at all in his CV that suggested he could of turned things around. Before us, he was sacked twice in the space of 6 months, which is appalling. Thankfully for Charlton and Cardiff, they sacked him before he could do real damage.
From the word go, he was a fucking disaster - first game, 4-1 defeat. Clueless tactics, shambolic management, ridiculous cap, garbage football. The Yakubu signing sums it up for me - he had the fat 46 year old on trial for 2 weeks and decided he's the man for me, despite being massively unfit and needing about 6 months of training, time we just didn't have - considering we were in January.
His recent comments have infuriated me: 'With Coventry, I didn't do my homework'. What a ridiculous statement Surely a slap head 56 year old man, would have the common sense to thoroughly assess a potential new job? He had a duty of care to the football club (and less importantly - himself) to make sure he felt like he was up to the job - and clearly he wasn't.
When Slade came in we were two points from safety, when he was sacked, we were 14 points from safety. Slade was as much use as Anne Frank's drumkit for us, and made things a hell of a lot worse, from when he arrived, which has ultimately cost us. Total inept gimp. We've had some shit managers in my time but he is definitely the piss of the crop.
We should have been ringing Mark Robins non-stop to take the job...maybe then we wouldn't have been relegated in such embarrassment....
God help you Grimsby.

Sisu have ultimate control. If they choose to employ Fisher and Venus and their employees mess up the buck still stops with them. So yes, Slade is a Sisu appointment.Shush we don't like logic herw, it was sisu....sisu I tell you SISUUUUUUUU ARGHHHH

As Venus was still in charge of the team, you would think that Fisher would have had the task of finding his replacement. Wasn't it Fisher that spoke to JFH and was turned down?If this is the case, then fairenough but I remember Tim on Talksport after the Sheffield Utd game bragging about how many applicants he had received, so assumed he was the recruiter.
You really do hate Slade, but now he's gone and in reflection the damage he did really is terrible.
Mowbray still takes a lot of the blame as does Venus, but Slade almost looked as if he didn't give a shit at all.
He seems like a nice bloke and I wish him all the best, but Grimsby fans already seem to be airing their concerns. Conceding a 90th minute goal last week, and losing today to a team that can't buy a win. I will be watching closely next season!

You get a like for this.Anne Frank's drumkit
No employee of SISU recruited Slade, an employer of CCFC did.Sisu have ultimate control. If they choose to employ Fisher and Venus and their employees mess up the buck still stops with them. So yes, Slade is a Sisu appointment.
Ahhhh okay sorry I forgot the rules.Sisu have ultimate control. If they choose to employ Fisher and Venus and their employees mess up the buck still stops with them. So yes, Slade is a Sisu appointment.
It was about retention we let our better players leave.i suspect it was about money.i feel the same will happen this year as well.

Ah well, at least SISU had us top of the table for a bit last year right, and signed Murphy Armstrong and Kent? At least we can be grateful to SISU for that

Long ball merchant taking over a squad developed for the passing game.
It was going to be a struggle
Slades appointment was simply due to Mowbray and Venus being good friends with Slade. When Venus decieded he couldn't do the job he went to the old pal Slade.
Venus had his nose pushed out of place when Fisher got rid of the old pal Slade without any consultation as he was probably to close to Slade.
Shame those bought in for the passing game can't actually pass a ball to their own players either.
Are they also good friends with Hasslebank as he was first choice before Slade?There's a point actually.
Mowbray and Slade are good friends in the game
