Russell Slade - Escapologist

[Insider]

Forget tactics, motivation, etc. Apparently it's all down to Russ changing the pre-match music to Elvis Presley.

Delighted Orient stayed up. Hope he gets the gig there full-time.

100% agree, wish him all the best.

On the train journey home today, we decided that Slade should not sign a full time contract with anyone, just be a professional end of season manager.

He could be available for only the last month of the season. Charge a full years wage, but offers a guarantee of safety, else, he'll not get paid a penny.

With all due respect to the man, Orient weren't in the relegation zone when he joined them, so it doesn't exactly strike me as a miracle that they're not going down.

Top man. Wish him all the best apart from when its against Brighton.

They were in absolute free fall though and only out the relegation zone on goal difference if memory serves me correctly.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Nice guy & I wish him well, but he's hardly worked a miracle this time.

maybe a minor one eh?

 

[The Modfather]

Slade in a top man.

A trip to Orient is always a good day out so glad they stayed up.

Next season could be the last time we are in the same league as them

Thier form before he took over was shocking. They were a bookies pick for relegation. He's done a good job. Beating Norwich was a big factor too.

 

[Lewes' best seagull]

Will never forget the last day of the season last year. Thanks for that Russ.

Their form before his arrival...

DWDDLDDLLWLLLL (one win in 12)

Since his appointment...

DWWLW

Including a win against Championship bound Norwich.

Blimey that is a turnaround. I had a bet on them going down but he's a bald legend and I'll look forward to another London fixture next season.

Utter cack - they were in freefall and in no time he has turned them from relegation fodder with 3 wins and a draw in 5 games including beating Norwich - more like serious promotion form - the bloke deserves huge credit and a decent contract - well done Russ

I hope he can kick on and have a better second season than he did with us.

 

[Mackenzie]

He should have gone to Wednesday
