Although he was working in very restrained financial circumstances the suggestion in this particular thread that he might be considered for some sort of honour is indeed laughable. With the sackings the guy has had in his career, he must have a season ticket down at the job centre

UNFAIRLY.
was a 100% yes man with no backbone when what our club NEEDED was {what we have now }someone to believe in their convictions and guide our in experienced owner...which is the exact opposite to RS..seems to pick up a living being the yes man at a string of clubs with similar inexperienced owners..
852 games zero promotions..i think the LMA should give him some sort of wooden spoon honour myself.
because i cant think of another manager thats managed that..

Have admired many of your comments on this forum but stick to my guns on this one.Slade done a good job at Leyton Orient and was popular with the fans there ,he is no Neil Warnock but under the circumstances did a good job for us and whose to know what the circumstances were at his other jobs, I still say criticism of him was unfair, his treatment all I can say is comparable to a pack of wild dogs scenting blood.

he took over a club disappointed to not have had a better start considering the squad we had .then finished 11th..
how can one manager be slaughtered for the poor start and anyone think the next guy getting 11th was some sort of achievement.? {bournemouth btw had same points as us when RS arrived and finished champions,so it was hardly too late to turn around with a dozen or more championship winners plus many internationals }..
and personally i found the football bland..we werre a club with better players than at least 2/3rds of the division finishing mid table without any real system, not a disaster but an underachievement never the less...our ST numbers halved, and many with STs just didnt turn up ..
orient btw although not spending on transfers had a top 6 wage bill.and for once Russ managed to not under achieve.
bloke would have been sacked by xmas if Tan didnt have that..he will be here as long as Wengers been at Arsenal head on..

Once a blue always a blue44 wrote:He also took over after a lot of damage had been done by OGS (wasn’t it around the end of September or so) with quite a few losses under our belt already. If he taken over at the start of the season, perhaps we would have gained more points and even made the playoffs? I think Neil Warnock had a far more difficult job to bring us up from near enough bottom and then get us promoted against a lot of odds the following season. Warnock took over us even later during a season as well. I have to say I wonder if you could put Slade above Malky?

was 3 loses to 3 clubs that ended up on 78 points or more...you sack a guy for UNDER ACHIEVING..then appoint a guy who not only equals the under achieving but excludes 7 players after just a few days and then proceeds to empty the ground...
i hate Malky with a passion but he was a real manager not a glorified toilet roll holder.

He was even worse. Should get a price pulling of the best scam of prentending to be a football manager. Funny Rhydog, really! Thumb up!
