Slade HAS to go. NOW.
He's literally - literally - worse than Richards. Which is incredible.
He hasn't managed a good side since he was at Orient where he had the total population of the South-East to find a few young gems. Before that, did okay at Yeovil about 400 years ago.
He has done nothing for years, and certainly not in his last few jobs. The man is living on his past and the amount of games he's somehow tricked various chairmen into letting him manage.
He has no pedigree of lower league promotions, none.
This rubbish you've all swallowed about him being a 'football man'? Wtf does that even mean?
He has made us worse, we are abject, absolutely abject.
Give me ONE compelling reason to keep him other than 'it MUST be the players' or 'he needs time'.
I'll be there, again, for Kiddie... Slade better not be.

Agree completely.
Given people were demanding Richards out before he had even set foot through the door I’m amazed that Slade has got away with it for this long.
Today was better than Boxing Day, but we still never looked like winning.

Leyton Orient fan here in peace. Been watching your results with interest this season mainly because of how Russell Slade was getting on. Obviously very sad for you and definitely understand your frustrations. Ironically we ourselves had a spell with Russell that was also incredibly poor leading to everyone calling for his head and probably at the same stage as you are at now. Barry Hearn our chairman of the time stuck with him and suddenly our fortunes changed and we were a challenging team for the championship. I’m not saying persevere but Russell seems to have not the most exciting starts but does wear into it. Barry Hearn once commented that he thought Russell was the best man manager in the business who could also work on a limited budget. Russell always has a season of 2 halves, onwards and upwards from now on I hope. Very good luck for the remainder of the season .

Why did he leave Leyton? I honestly don’t know.
However I am certain that if and when we get a win over Bradford PA some on the Board and Mr Slade will be singing that we “Have turned the corner - beginning to gel” ect ect.
I won’t be buying into it though.
Seems quite a few supporters have already voted with their feet and cash.

Really appreciate your encouraging post after a dreadful result. There were some green shoots of improvement today but unfortunately they limped off injured in the second half. For one, I hope the the club stick with him and find him some cash for January.

An honest and genuine post Newboy. I kind of wish the Hereford FC Senate did not / would not give the same to Beadle.

(Although the bennies have) but choose not to.

Barry Hearn gave the O’s nothing but did stabilise a sinking ship. He sold our ground to make flats and happily still charges us £400k Est. ground rent The irony was when Hearn sold us to a so call Italian billionaire it was a slope to oblivion. Slade only lasted 5 or 6 six games under the clown ownership but was already wise enough to see what was happening so Cardiff beckoned fairly quickly and off he went before he got sacked. We got through ten managers that first season it really was a complete joke. I’m not saying Slade will produce you miracles but it really mirrors what happened when he first joined us and then like a switch on the wall we went on an unbelievable run - bearing in mind this is Orient we’re talking about. You lads are seeing what’s going on and I’m not, it’s just a trait thing with Russell.

I watch Orient now and again and people seem to speak highly of Slade. Some would have him back given the precarious position of Orient at the moment. One thing's for sure, he didn't have money to spend when he was there.
Granted that I don't have to watch the dross served up each week, but I still think the board is predominantly to blame. They sacked two managers early in the season in consecutive years. Even if they have upped the budget since Beadle, I can't imagine Slade has much to play with. It's a tough ask getting good players in midseason even with money. Dawson was a stroke of luck for us.
I think Slade deserves a decent crack at turning this around, but if he goes, half the board should go with him. We're in this position because of their serial incompetence.

I think that’s a good summing up there. Makes you wonder if your board brought Slade in because he can work with a no budget setup.. Funny enough you are right, since Edinburgh’s passing the supporters all wanted Slade back as a first choice and we still don’t have a manager. Very difficult times for us also, who knows what the future holds

The club is now rotten from the top down. No leadership, no vision and no idea. End of.

Let's pick the bones out of this. Based on today ,Dawson remains captain. Hall is error prone but is our only keeper. Greenslade and Thomas are the best full backs. Cullaine-Liburd and Pope are the best centre backs,now Riley is sidelined. Sodiente and Allen are the best upfront. Dawson and Nicholson,midfield,resign Richards,and recall Jagger -Cane and Ash. We cannot afford to sack Busted-Flush Slade.BUT Get shot of the mercenary Styche,the unreliable Sullivan,the hapless Mooney,Bodenham,the speedy but lightweight Bray,Pollock,Liburd. That will do for starters. Tell Slade to earn his money forging these players into a team.Stick with them and work to turn this embarrassment around.

Grimsby fan here but married to a Hereford fan and I do get to watch the bulls occasionally too. I'm seeing parallels at Edgar street with Russell Slade's second spell at Blundell park, lots of new players but not a lot of idea or structure. Credit where it's due, he did well with us the first time he was manager but didn't seem to have a plan the last time. Not sure that he's the right man for the job. Even though we're rubbish at the moment, there's no suggestion that we'd want him back again despite my father in law offering to drive him here.

If your father in law is a fella called Monkey Tennis, just be aware he has had 7 cans of cheap cider. He would probably be alright to drive as long as it doesn't involve them motorway things.

Quick question- do you agree or not that right now we would have been in a worst position with Beadle?

I have respect for Keith Hall , his radio commentary is excellent , however he is giving Slade far too much respect during his after match interviews I remember commenting last season on one of the threads how Keith seemed to have a better handle on the game than Richards. I would like him to ask Slade how on earth he has the nerve to pick up his wages when overseeing a total shambles . And yes I am in the Slade out camp.

242460,I would never have sacked Beadle. He was apparently a difficult character,but was short-changed by the Board that season.By not backing him we lost the momentum and goodwill of the fans as he was unceremoniously dumped in a shameless way.He was able to bring in players to improve the team when necessary and was never given a fair chance to prove himself. His record deserved full backing from the club but was not forthcoming. Since then we have had a revolving door at Edgar St,and have lost our way.Very sad.
