no he has had 4 league games? so he has 6 more before he is judged by you this season.

Definitely a lot of Willis waving by the knobs at the telegraph.....

Not that straight forward. After 10 games we could be down anyway.
If that was the case and his contract is up in the summer, then the obvious thing is to let the contract run.
Pointless changing things if we are down and a new manager cannot bring any players in at all.
Not sure what on earth that would achieve.
I said about Mowbray to judge after 10 games because he had already had a season with us.
and in that season he finished 8th
so 8th in a season plus 10 games at strt of season = terrible and possibly one of our worst
managers ever
half a season -relegation = new contract

He has a very very similar record to Pressley and very similar to peter Reid.
and slade will be remembered for being 1 of the few managers not to even get a new manager bounce and fail to save us from relegation?
No great surprise . Timmy made it clear on that radio interview how the club will be run. regardless if there is 20,000 fans in or 2,000 in .
Even Mark Venus got a new manager bounce, and he isn't even a proper manager
I Must admit I find this baffling, they seem to have gone from one extreme to the other. doesn't make sense to me at all.
The club has already been sold and the agreement in place was to not sell any players during the window.
Why do I get the itchy, Fisher-y feeling that these deals for Willis, Haynes and Stevenson are not 'dead', but will probably be completed in the Summer? Was this an attempt at PR by SISU, to keep the fans silent over selling 'core' players (I use the term very loosely)?
Either that, or they'll just be flogged for about half of their market value in the Summer anyway, to any club who talks sweetly in Tim's ear.

Could be right Hill, would explain the strange disappearance of Timmy Fisher and Mark Venus
If I am right I'm going to start making stuff up more often.
and he didnt bring in his own players either
but no otis is right. its the summer recruitment not slade....
This is how Sisu work, They "support" the manager initially, later on down the line the goalposts are moved...
Exactly!!
He won't be remembered half as much for the 8th place as he will for the failure and will be remembered for taking us from top to bottom 4.
Simple fact is that after being top and then in the top 6 for so long and also 11 points clear of 7th, we should have never, ever have finished the season 8th.
We all know this, apart from Covcity4life who has a clear unhealthy obsession with Tony Mowbray
I feel it started that season we sold Juke, even though he was absolutely vital to staying up. The policy hasn’t changed, it’s just being stated more explicitly now. We've been run as a zombie club.
Completely agree with all of that OSB. Do you have any theory on why we didn’t accept the bids which were received – as Nick says, it was surprising that we decided to stand firm. The policy in the past has been to roll over and accept derisory amounts of cash for key players. It all adds to the feeling that something might be changing behind the scenes.
The OP says “This window completely shows that Sisu and Fisher have given up on the club”. But if that were the case they’d have sold the lot. Yes, they’ve completely failed to bring in the kind of people we need to avoid relegation, which is yet another dereliction of duty. But on the credit side, I’m glad we’ve kept these young players – it gives us a small semblance of continuity and something to identify with amongst all the crap that’s going on. And the performance against Bolton makes me think we can’t be as bad as our run of results suggests. Clutching at straws I know.
Based on current results and current squad it looks that way....
minutes away from 3 points at Peterborough tho but for Burge to be shy and glued to his line.... and also against Bolton when Reilly pulled up believing the ref had blown... another goal disallowed for offside when possibly on.... when things are against you, your lucks out. How we might of built on them 6 points we will never no.
Might be the first manager to take us to Wembley for 30 years tho... it's a huge might tho.
Kind of a cleft stick really potentially short of players if they go potentially short of money if they don't. Perhaps Slade set the values with half an eye on needing to keep players not sell them. Perhaps the sort of clubs interested were never going to pay the price. Perhaps it was all talk. Perhaps they realise that if we do get relegated the players we have will be more affordable than bringing others in. Perhaps the value was right and the offers poor. Perhaps they got their timing wrong, bluffed and messed up. Perhaps they really did not want to sell or need to. Who knows
Didn't Tim say something along these lines "judge him when the transfer window is over"? Everyone happy?
I guess it depends on expectation.
We could have done with a target man if slade wants to play the long ball, so he is going to need to change that.
I was expecting a worse window.
Very pleased we held on to Stevenson as he'll probably be worth more in the summer. Increased up-front fee for him may negate the need to sell others (for now)
Yeah. I think he might be worth more in the summer too. He will definitely be gone though.
Need to get as much as we can for him.
I don't think Barcelona play the long ball game.
He means in terms of our looking for a target man I believe.
