Even so with the squad he had I do wonder if the likes of Warnock would have got to the play offs.

I think the squad we had under slade underacheived (we had players from championship winning side and some from premiership still ), I think Warnock would have had us playoffs minimum and has shown what can be achieved with small budget since he's been here

Totally disagree. Slade had an incredible mess to sort out after Ole's disastrous reign. As already said, Slade stopped us going into League 1, he nearly got us into the playoffs and made the necessary cut backs required. Slade was the correct manager to bring in at the correct time, he was one of the most important managerial reigns in our clubs history in my opinion.
I will never understand why some fans complained about his "boring" football. We only lost at home twice in his one full season with us and he made us very difficult to beat. Fans moaning at Slade's style of play must have forgotten where Ole's "entertaining" football got us where we were sliced open at will by teams we finished well above the season before when we lost home to Hull 3-0 and home to Palace 4-0.

And people can say he did a good job under difficult circumstances but he inherited a very good squad. Not many teams go straight back up after being relegated but a better manager would have had a better go. Slade hadnt managed above the 3rd tier and it showed.
The club is now recovering so onwards and upwards!
