Good manager, sadly i doubt he will get the backing he requires to bring in any decent players. Still wait and see, he's a start, and i do believe the team should be doing better with the players we have. Time will tell PUSB

It's Christmas - considering the circumstances that we are in this is a top result, well done

If we were a league above or in the top 6, then we could maybe have got a Rowett, but unlikely at the moment

Lets hope for a decent enough dead cat bounce to keep us in this league.

To be honest anything better than Venus

However, it says contract until the end of the season. Is it just me or do I sense Slade is using us as a stepping stone.

If he's trying to do that he's come to the wrong place!

Till the end of season! So if he does OK we'll have a few months of will he won't he before we know whether he's staying or not.
Of course, if he's shit, we can bin him easily!

If true, good luck...you'l need dollops of it!

As for Slade as manager, my reaction is the same as it was for Tony Mowbray.......meh!

Interesting that its only to see the season thru......wonder if that was driven by the club or him??

We did it with Mowbray too though didn't we? 14 games.....then see where we stand?

....seems fairly reasonable for both parties I reckon.

The mans proved he can work on free's only and still make a resilient team, no backing required, just a budget however big, small or dwindling..... he's a top man manager, I expect to see a improved sordell with him around. A man motivator!!!
Our only hope of survival

Fast forwards to September next year.
