Russell Slade applauds the supporters after the final match of the season against Birmingham. That match was like so many under his management – honest effort from all of the players, but a failure to totally convince. Now, he leaves the club with me thinking that most of those supporters are glad to see him go – I count myself in that number, but hope that someone who came across as a fundamentally decent man is able to finally enjoy some tangible success in his management career.*
