Should be interesting. 4 questions that should be asked of Slade today: 1. Does he feel let down by the complete lack of signings this summer ? [17 out, only 5 in] 2. Is he happy throwing 3/4 kids in to the squad for Saturday regardless of whether they are ready? 3. Why isn't he talking about "promotion". Where is the bloke's ambition??* 4. What does he think of Elf's olive green quilted mating jacket? *- I suspect he is under orders from the Bitch not to inflate fan's expectations.
You aint going to like this. You need to separate your justified rage at the regime and not take it out on the team and coach...... Surely you are not so blinkered by hate you want to see the playing squad undermined further by having their morale sapped. IMO you should be wanting the best for the team DESPITE what the regime are doing. The coach has got do everything he can to instill belief in his players...
Presser over none of your questions addressed Tho we have 1 player undergoing a medical today And Bauer Lennon and Diarra all still out injured from week or 2 to month or 2
As for Slade - I unfortunately think today's press conference will be fairly relaxed, which I agree with. Those questions need answering, but lets see what happens at Bury first.
Its a medical condition. Hyperactivity triggered by exposure to bright colours such as OLIVE coloured coats!
Main points from Slade press conference just now - he wants "4 more players" - one is having a medical today (lets hope its not with our medical dept, they will injure him in the process) - he is really enjoying the job but took over a club in a mess No hard questions asked by the looks of things, typical.
Was always going to be the approach today. Slade will be building relationships with the journo and the story for a large % of fans will be Saturday.
Have watched the video & fair play to Slade,he didn't pull his punches in certain areas. Absolutely incredible state of affairs that according to RS the Club had no care/ medical programme in place for our many injured players. No plans to bring them back early, nothing. What an indictment of the buffoon CEO.
Oddly enough when Roland took over that's what CEO said, that it was a mess. It's also what Mr Cameron spent 5 years telling us. Oh, and Mr Blair too! At heart we all want to be Red Adair. However the fact, that Slade has gone public with these revelations about CEO's incompetence points to him not being a yes-man.
Also means that the Bitch will be quicker to fire Slade when things go pear shaped, as we all know they will before long.
Gotta say I am quietly impressed by Slade so far. He has bought in a few decent signings, and unlike Luzon a year ago, is still asking for more. He didn't answer Royston's questions at all, but he so far gives me the impression he is his own man, which is a bit of an anomaly these days at the Valley. There's a long way to go but as far as the team goes, we seem to have a manager. Rumour from Ketts is that a winger may come in and the Harriots are off. Bit weird really selling one to bring in another, but hey, if Reams is happy, so am I.
