Russell Slade sacked by Grimsby Town

[Clarkey_GTFC]

Very pleased with this. Highly thought of by many in the game including Sean Dyche and has experience in turning around a relegation fight. Speaks incredibly well and seems extremely hungry and hard working. I've got a really good feeling about this one, just as long as he sticks around.

Got relegated all the same, so didn't really turn it around.

Also worked under Reg Holdsworth at Lincoln!

Grimsby fans seem to have been taken in by his dodgy Wikipedia page and that statement he put out.

Going from 4 points from 36 to 15 from 48 isn’t turning things round? Jesus...

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Less than 1 point a game average. Should get you over the line I guess.

Who the feck wrote the club statement - I'm sure it wasn't any Board member, far too coherent. Maybe the Board hired one of the Cowley Bros to write it. The Town trying to copy the City with this appointment - lets out do them - FA Cup semi next season...

The Jolley good fellow it is, Michael Jolley appointed.

Bold move Mr Fenty, something different to the 'merry go round'.

Sol Campbell won't be happy

It's funny how Grimsby fans blame Slade when they haven't won a match since he left. Slade is a top manager but has to be backed

That statement is cut & pasted straight from his application...... isn't it?

Yeah, because he left us with the shit team we've got now and no option to bring anybody else in.

 

[Castolo]

DH84, what’s your opinion on this? Don’t think you’ve mentioned...

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Probably bought online - like a student essay...maybe Jolley's application was bought online too, or perhaps they just rang up the Cowleys and asked for a copy of their application for the Lincoln job.

Another defeat for Grimsby. Slade laughing in the comfort of his armchair.

Trollolololol. So you're saying he was unfairly treated by Coventry and you'd have him back with new owners? Interesting.

 

[Conker]

Not exactly a appointment that’s going to fill fans with confidence but it’s not like they were going to get anybody that would anyhow.

 

[DH84]

Yep. If he had a full season he would get us promoted. Just look at his managerial record. Russell is a winner. Any more questions Mr Moderator? Why don’t you answer mine - what forum rules have I broken?

No wonder this forum has gone downhill when someone like you as a moderator.

All the Grimsby fans I've talked to said that Slade was backed, he just bought shite players.

Don't listen to him - he's just a Slade apologist.

Interesting how things work out sometimes. I remember last year a lot of the Grimsby fans were pretty delighted to see the back of Paul Hurst. Now he's closing in on promotion to the Championship while his good work at Grimsby seems all but undone.

I think half way through the 15/16 season a lot of fans wanted him gone, the Halifax away game was really the breaking point with that where a lot of people decided it was time for him to go, but last year pretty much everyone realised the good that he had done and very few actually wanted him to leave when he did.
Completely true of course what you say about the different directions our paths have taken since, good luck to Hurst though I hope he takes them up.

Grimsby fans are a fickle bunch. They even used to love Fenty!

"There's only one John Fenty" lmfao.

Haven't seen so many bald heads in a single place since Right Said Fred held their annual lookalikes convention in a Buddhist monastery.

With so many skinheads and the angle most of their arms are at in that clip it does look like some weird Neo-nazi thing. Like what the Nuremburg rally would have looked like had they held it in Grimsby in 1979

A Magazine comeback gig a few years ago in Manchester - just a sea of bald heads, black leather jackets and black t-shirts...including me.

Without the eyeliner, looked ok when I was 21, would be very creepy as a 50 something...
