Gannon or Slade next season?

[Icy Gull]

Given the remarkable turnaround in our fortunes made even more impressive by the non availability of star players like Murray and Forster should the board still be contemplating trying to tempt 1st choice Gannon to take over as manager next season?

Personally I think the board should go with the flow, give us some continuity and give Slade at least a years contract and not even consider re-approaching Gannon.

Who would you prefer


I was not at all convinced about Slade's appointment but I was wrong and I don't remember the last Albion manager who had such a good bond with the fans, although it's early days.

In the last game against Stockport - will Gannon throw the match to avoid being appointed manager of a League 2 side - or would that ensure that Slade gets the job?

 

[Insel affe]

daft question SLADE no doubt........ After all i dont want gannon after he said no to us in danger,and then when we are safe he says yep........Naaaahh

SLADE has worked his socks off, shows passion for the club.....and has got results we did not expect

Given how Stockport have faded over the last couple of months, I now reckon we were probably lucky that Gannon turned us down, even though I was deeply disappointed at the time.

I think thats more to do with the fact they've lost a few of their best players(we had McNulty and Dicker) than Gannon failing to manage!

Its still Slade though.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Gannon can feck right off. Slade is the Man for us.

 

[Brovion]

If Slade wins the next two he'll have won five in a row. When he did that for Yeovil he got sacked. Surely lightening can't strike twice for the poor bloke?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Gannon - turned us down , TWICE and wanted to stay at Stockport County FFS
Slade - 12 points in 5 games and bleeds BHAFC already

Difficult choice.

Depends if he is sneaking his laundry through on the quiet again.

 

[bhaexpress]

Slade yes but not Gannon, he snubbed us previously. Also, I think Slade should be allowed to take on his own backroom staff.

But then we're back down to the Golden Rule of football management - it's a results business. I cannot BELIEVE we would be so stupid as to sack a winning manager (again) just because they were fiddling their expenses. If that occurred we should amend his contract retrospectively to say we should be paying his laundry bills.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

f*** Gannon. He turned us down once. He's not all that. Russell Slade is an Albion legend in the making. Let him run with it

 

[The Uninvited Guest]

Slade

 

[beorhthelm]

Slade has stepped into the breach and looks like keeping us up. even if he doesnt, seems to have got the players playing well, so will promote us.

Agree with that. Poll is currently 51 to Slade, 1 to fence and 0 to Gannon. Says it all really.

 

[Ernest]

Gannon can f*** off, anyone who turns us down twice should be forgotten about. It's his loss and Big Russ's gain

 

[drew]

If Slade keeps us up and Knight gets rid then it will be akin to the mistake he made getting rid of Wilkins. A club like ours needs stability and unfortunately over the last 10 years the only period close to that was when we had McGhee. You get rid of managers who are failing, not succeeding.

If we stay up, give Slade a contract, probably something like a rolling one year contract so we are not tied to a massive pay off. Even if we go down, I still think he has shown enough to suggest with more time he can do even better.

 

[Hove&Albion F.C]

Slade no question

 

[Brian Fantana]

There has been too much perceived managerial back-stabbing at this club in recent years. If Russell Slade keeps us up (which not many people were backing when he first joined the club) then he should be given an extended contract. Anything else would incredibly unfair on the guy in my opinion.

 

[throbinson]

Why get a bloke that turned us down, stick with slade even if we do go down
