Fair play to fat russ for negotiating a 3 year contract for a job with an average expectancy period of 4 months. Imagine all the pies and primark caps he can now buy with the pay out
is it possible that some of his poor decision making during games (positions subs etc) was actually because he was running to instructions from above and he got fired because he kept trying to do things his own way?
Top 6 budget doesn't mean jack shit if you don't get the right players in. He was doomed to fail as soon as he signed. The manager does not need to go it's the feckin regime!!!!!
Underwhelmed by Slade, although I do not think he was as useless as some people suggest. I have a sinking feeling we are going to a hell of a lot worse off. Jacko dont touch it with a bargepole!
Bet the PR company are impressed you really couldn't make this shit up.
Great timing as well with the guys being in Belgium, they really are the biggest bunch of useless tossers in football even outdoing Blackpool, Leeds and co.
But we've improved our rankings every time we've sacked a manager.
Indeed. We're 59th in the overall football pyramid and 59 is a larger number than 29th when we finished ninth in the Champ
59 > 29 therefore we're improving
I think I've figured this out. If you take our position at the time of their sacking and divide it by the number of sacked managers, I think you'll find our average position per manager, on that basis, is improving.
We're now a healthy 8th and bit. A couple more sacked managers before the end of the season should be good enough to get us into Europe next season.
To the extent that I give a toss anymore, I'm glad to see the back of him. Devoid of personality. Devoid of any credibility. Boring boring tactics. Goodness knows what we'll get next. Just another episode in the soap opera.
This has to be seen as a vote of no confidence in Meire as well. She was very much behind Slade's apppointment at the start and remained so. Hard to imagine she fired him on her own, so it had to come from the top. In which case, please God, she may well be next for the chop.
He's a useless manager but is not, ultimately, the problem. Said all along that he was only here for the guaranteed payout when he got sacked, which was inevitable. Nobody of a right mind would agree to work for these clowns, not for football reasons anyway.
Have they sacked Brussel after the comms team have gone home? Or are they working on a special 'statement' from the glorious one? Or maybe if they don't announce on the OS they think we won't notice when Nobby Vinegar or O'Dokeepup rocks up.

Someone posted on here somewhere that KM is likely to be gone next too!

At least this will make the season a bit more interesting. We weren't going up with Slade, we might be going somewhere now. Best of luck, Katy, with the speed interviews tonight .
its Groundhog day again - lets appoint a caretaker who'll win a game and then lose a few 6 nil, before we get find another to oversee the relegation - and then repeat again!

He will be across this week and take her back with him.
His son was with him on Saturday and will take over perhaps? He is more than qualified to do the job! I.e fuck all experience but family.

MountsfieldPark September 19 On past form, Roland tends to get an itchy trigger finger in October-November, after a poor result at home. I favour the aftermath of home -v- Port Vale on Sat 19 Nov (and before Bristol Rovers on the following Tuesday). We may have to do without one of Daisy's classic votes of confidence immediately before the sacking, though.

Bugger, I overestimated Roly's patience by one match. Mind you, some people were still saying at the time that Brussel was sure to get the whole season.

Onwards and upwards.
