Thanks. That really is a bit of a concern. Suggests Slade won't have a contract before he goes away on Tuesday. Why do we always seem to do this between seasons. We never appoint/keep a manager immediately and let them get on with it.

Sadly at the moment it seems that certain people behind the scenes are determined to make it hard for Albion fans.

If the board f*** about, I'm actually not going to renew my season ticket next year. I mean that as well, because if there are some 'billy big nuts' characters on the board who think their opinions are more important than the voice of the supporters...then they will not be getting a penny out of me next year.

Don't worry about it, the Eggman is here for good :thumbsup:
It's not really that, even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day and Bloom is bound to get the odd decision right. What is FAR more worrying are the rumours going around of divisions on the board. The club seems to have lost its way a bit over the last year: the cack-handed and seemingly whimsical way way the managerial comings and goings were handled and the leaden-footed approach to marketing and ticket sales being the two most obvious examples. Because these problems at the top haven't been sorted out we're on the verge of screwing up another post-season.

To be honest, I would be tempted to do the same but bought a two year one at the start of this season so don't really have a choice. I can't believe that any member of the board would think it is a good idea to get rid of such a universally popular manager. However, this is Brighton and nothing would surprise me after what has happened in recent years.

This was an ideal situation really to test the metal of a prospective employee I think. He passed all the tests and if this position was on a trial basis then he must be given the job.

There's a difference between a wise man and a wise guy. We still need wise men running this club.

I like your gist, but can we have a promotion in his first full season?

Perhaps flirt with the Championship play-offs in the second, and get to the top division after our first season at Falmer :thumbsup:

Message to the board? "If you don't want to go down in Albion history alongside Arc*er and Bell*tti, sign up Russell Slade on a one year rolling contract now!"

If we end up like last summer and replace management again, i will literally jump off Beachy Head. Slade has done a tremendous job and got us to play some atttractive football so why the need for change with a man who has single handily kept us up when we were dead buried in March!!

Wise could be a Stalking Horse. Of course, nobody in their right mind would employ him as a Manager of anything other than a punk rock band.
