Meet the manager?

chilham

Has anyone on here had a response yet? I have just received an email headed 'Fancy Meeting Russell Slade?' with a reprint of the original news story and a tiny 'You're invited'! at the top of the page. Can anyone clarify- thanks!

Is it on the fans sofa?

He's doing a book signing in sainburys in Chislehurst.

No response, quelle surprise. Mind you the day's not quite over.

If he beats the Spanners i will meet him, pay for his lunch, order two Thai prostitutes to dance on his newly polished ball sack (curteousy of the softest chamois leather) and hanv around to give him a lift home when his carnal lustings have been sated!

There's probably only a handful of applicants & even less will turn up when they realise they'll be missing Feyenoord v Man U followed by Southampton v Sparta Prague.

If you wanted to ask questions, you could have gone yourself.

I personally am glad that lots turned up. He deserves the support, if I bothered to read any of the club's output anymore I would have gone myself.

Hope he got a decent reception.

Heard Slade only grants any one Charlton fan a maximum of 3 questions;

Are you really the manager of Charlton Athletic?
Yes
Really?
Yes
You?

...Yes


Don't piss him about.

Poor turn out. Similar events in recent past eg VIP events have had 300 + there.

Bromley Addicks even got more for some meetings.

That's tough on Slade as not a target for protests imho.

The marketing was very low key though and the general feeling about the club will have impacted.

Personally it's the sort of event I would have tried to attend in the past but wasn't enthused enough about to apply.

Will wait to hear what was said by those that were.

I would have gone but didn't know it was happening!

Maybe the club only targeted selected people

It was on the official twitter but only a few times. It certainly wasn't given a big push but it was announced.

aah, that's why I missed it. Maybe they didn't want a big turnout but get another tick in the box for meeting fans

I knew it was on, now CP and I might have made the effort.

On twitter, there were some pictures of smiley happy people talking selfies.

More of the club trying to pretend everything is rosy in the garden whilst not actually engaging with the critical elements of the supporter base.
