Clean break and new start for L2

A work colleague is a Yeovil fan and when Slade joined told me Slade would play long ball to a big centre forward all day long. Unfortunately he tried the long ball bit without the 'big bastard' bit so it was always bound to fail, but he had no other tactic.

Slade was appointed as Charlton boss at the start of the season so he has had two entire spells with two different clubs during a single season, not bad going.

It's only early March so he may squeeze in one more yet!!!

Tisdale at exeter would be a good solid choice

Good thing about this for me (thanks for your time by the way, Russell...nice bloke, poor manager) is that despite the inevitable drop to L2, we'll have someone else in charge of a potentially big day out at Wembley.

Had we gone to Wembley with Slade in charge, I would've said we are likely to get hammered. Hopefully we'll have a better chance with someone else in charge.

Genuinely feel sorry for the guy. Yes he had to go and it had to be now (well a couple of games ago). He came at a really bad time and made things worse. His tactics were questionable...no wonder he indicated that we didn't need tactics. His starting line ups, formations and substitutions all left fans wondering what he was doing. Yes a couple of lucky games...not conceding she often at the end of the game might get have changed our opinion but if we are honest at no time during his tenure did we look like climbing out of relegation. All too late now but we must be ready for next season to hit ground running. Board d made right decision for me. But who will be next?

He has them flying, right type but very very unlikely.
Will be a manager not attached to anyone also with the pick of the names being Pressley, Martin Allen.
For some reason Greg Abbott keeps coming into the back of my mind.
Abbott and Ricketts assisting would be interesting.

We have got to get it out of our heads that these owners are building anything.

1) So we somehow stay up, budget will be cut another manager will have the same issues as the previous 8 have. A squad full of youth, loans and retirement candidates looking for last pay day.

2) Now, we go down, budget will be cut another manager will have the same issues as the previous 9 have. A squad full of youth, loans and retirement candidates looking for last pay day.


See a pattern, i fucking do, and no matter if you turn up in our thousand or hundreds the outcome is the same. Go past Tim, he is here to deflect, distract and be a Sisu punch bag by design.Get to Sisu, Joy needs dragging out, Sisu need to be highlighted and this is why when Tim is asked he doesnt work for them, doesn't get paid by them and will have to go ask them on any question he doesn't want to answer.

Too late. Showed he clearly had no clue after about 5 games.

The Bigi situation must have something to do with it. I'd say that the fact tht he came back in yesterday and showed what we've been missing since he was left out must have struck a chord with Fisher.
I was really please when SLade was appointed and genuinely thought that he was the man to turn us around. Sadly it's not worked.
We could end up having as many managers as wins this season the way things are going.

Imagine if he came in and was better at being a manager and saved us from relegation!

yes!!!
He's still in the game, he's chief scout at Bradford so he'd have a idea of what players are about and there contract situations.
Did a respectable job at Carlisle

Would be one of my choices... cannot see it surely? Not after what he said when he left.... tho his career needs a new platform.

Wasn't it Slade who pushed for Yak to be signed?

If we could get Robins back and support him in League 2 next season, a modicum of my hostility to SISU would recede.

I'll have money on him at the bookies if Tim is listed as a potential candidate for the new manager. The ultimate cost cutting measure.

Not sure about Robins, though his last 2 clubs have gone on to better once he left

Robins being current favourite seems mad, all the reasons that pushed him out first time have only got a lot worse. But then, when you've got sky blue blood and all that

What he said when he left was very much against the council and not the owners wasn't it?
