Can we have just ONE SINGLE DAY without one of these stupid rumour threads? Making NSC a bit boring at the moment.

To be fair to Snoopy - I'm more likely to believe what he/she has to say than many on this board given his/her friendship with Craig Davies

Having said that, the Argus doesn't seem to think RS is going anywhere for now...

Comment: Bloom has passed first test

Tony Bloom has passed his first examination as Albion chairman.

The latest home defeat by Oldham last Saturday aroused speculation over the future of manager Russell Slade.

It would have been easy to bow to the vocal minority of supporters, suffering from premature dissatisfaction over Slade’s tenure. Instead, Bloom has used his rational, poker-playing head.

You can bet your last chip that Albion’s poor start to the season, and the reasons for it, were discussed in some depth by the manager and chairman at a routine meeting on Monday, arranged prior to the Oldham setback.

Neither of them can be happy with the current state of affairs and it is not just in politics that a week is a long time.

A second successive home defeat and bleak performance will not help Slade’s cause but the indications are he will at least be allowed the rest of the year to turn things around, which is only right and proper.

His detractors have short memories. Thanks to him Albion are hosting Hartlepool on Saturday, not Accrington Stanley.

The pace of change at the club has been frantic, not just in terms of turnover of players but the entire footballing structure of the club.

That process is ongoing. Strengthening the coaching resources remains a priority for Slade after he lost out in this respect to a League One rival in the summer.

Had he lost his job now, Albion would be looking for their fifth manager in just over three years, which is ridiculous.

The only sound reason for Slade’s post being in jeopardy would be an inescapable conclusion that Albion are destined for another relegation fight during the second half of the season.

It is still far too early to believe that.

I can cope with the rascist drivel on here, it just reaffirms my view of them and I think the cruel light of exposure does them far more harm than good but I am fed up to the back teeth with this kind of rubbish, day in day out. Love the idea of banning them until proved correct.

Interesting. So he tried to add to his coaching team but missed out?

I think there should be ONE thread on a Saturday evening just titled 'The Manager- Discuss <insert date here>' and then people can write what they want wether its pro or anti Slade and then anyone who doesnt want to hear the drivel about him being sacked doesnt have to read it! Anyone starting a new thread will be banned until the following Saturday when a new thread will be started!

We should have 1 Thread called the "Sladeometer" where people can post their Slade in/out comments, and make it a sticky, and Ban anyone for 24 hours who posts such content anywhere else
