Yeah, he turns it in next week, f*** the stand off for the opening games.IT_Andy said:I heard a rumour Slade was going to make a statement next week. Don't know the details but can only assume he's considering his future.

Massive respect if he does.charlton_carl said:everything is so crazy right now I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned before the Bury game
Perhaps he's related to Mel Baroni!4 -
That would be utterly utterly depressing.charlton_carl said:everything is so crazy right now I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned before the Bury game

I reckon Slade wants to get himself into the Guiness Book of World Records.
The first manager to resign without managing a team playing a competitive game!1 -

Have always held Claridge in very high regard after he scored the goal to beat palice in the last minute play-off final in '96.0 -
I have also heard that he was moaning and some players over heard him, he isn't happy at all apparently

Didn't Coppell do that at Man City?ElfsborgAddick said:I reckon Slade wants to get himself into the Guiness Book of World Records.

I like Slade but personally I think he'll resign. He seems principled.....a quality that's long since left The Valley.
Can you remember when players were proud to play for a club that, let's face it, ain't Man Utd.
Those days are long gone. We're more of a bargain basement club that players either use to better their career, or to see out a career on the wain.
We've become the very thing Curbs guarded against for so many years.
I wish Rus and the team all the luck in the world, because I genuinely love this club. But It'll never be the Charlton of old....until a fan centred consortium takes control.

You might be correct, I know Coppell only stayed for about 25 days.Valley11 said:

There was a story going around about his sexuality that led to his early departure, I don't know if anybody else knows about this.

I'll be surprised if he's still got the gig on January 1st 20170

Let's face it, anyone taking the managers job, has either not done their homework on Roly and Pinocchio, or has a big enough ego to think he can succeed where a long list of others have failed. I have no sympathy for him, because he should have known what he was getting into. If he thinks he has made a big mistake, he should bail out quickly, before his reputation goes down the pan. He will have persuaded players to join this club to play for him, so it won't be an easy decision.8

Sort of agree.Tutt-Tutt said:Let's face it, anyone taking the managers job, has either not done their homework on Roly and Pinocchio, or has a big enough ego to think he can succeed where a long list of others have failed.

It's a challenge though isn't it. He knows that because he is a British and relatively normal manager.... It is currently a very important critical thing for charlton,
He is needed.
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt as I think he genuinely does deserve a chance and he's a reasonable bloke that's trying to fix our club. The challenge that is...the one that could, possibly really bolster his reputation, if he succeeds.
If he doesn't....when then holy f*ck it's the regimes fault!
He can't lose. If he resigns in the near future then the club have another storm on their hands. Protests will be out of control. (As long as we are just about good enough to stay in this division)
I think good on him that he was willing to give us a go and see what he could do. Sounds rather generous on my part, but it's a hard job and he wanted to do it.

He will be gone before Christmas, sacked as a scapegoat, that is assuming he doesn't resign on principle before then.1

Even if that's true it could be for any number of reasons.CafcSteve said:Rumours on Facebook that he didn't leave on the team coach today.

Perhaps a new goalkeeper is enough for Slade to stay. Announcement next week cancelled.
Asking for 5 new players is optimistic but great to see he's fighting hard.0 -
Bielsa resigned as Lazio boss after just TWO days this pre season when he realised he'd been lied to about who he'd be able to signElfsborgAddick said:I reckon Slade wants to get himself into the Guiness Book of World Records.

I couldn't see this elsewhere - from Liam Happe, old youth team reporter and commentator on CAFC Player today:
Liam Happe @liamhappe 2h2 hours ago Eltham, London
Was interesting to hear that Russell Slade became first #cafc boss to stand up to KM over signings... and he won the standoff (re: Crofts).
Also heard today that Slade continues to fight for more signings and is actively resisting the network loan cast-offs he's offered #cafc
The Charlton squad needs work & owners could easily sack Slade early for speaking far too much common sense but it's a glimmer of hope #cafc
Apparently her argument against signing Crofts was 'we have Diarra'. First 4 months don't count, it seems. #cafc
I know Liam well and trust what he says. On that basis I think Slade will probably be gone by January.4 -
That's OK Marc Wilmots is available now2

Gone by next week I reckon3

If these are true (and i fully believe they are), then it just proves they've learnt absolutely nothing from previous years.2 -
His body language in the post match interview says it all.0
