Coventry City manager Russell Slade has said that if you have not got all the tools you cannot do the job.
Speaking to the Coventry Observer's Steve Carpenter, Slade who had City supporters offering to call him a taxi during the 2-1 defeat at Bury and whom many don't want near the Sky Blues when they take to the Wembley turf on April 2nd, said: "Just because I’m finding it difficult to win a game now it doesn’t mean I’m a bad manager
“It’s the circumstances and we have to deal with those at the minute.
“We’re all hugely disappointed. I played Coventry City when they came to Charlton and although they lost 3-0, I thought they were fantastic in both boxes that day.
“I thought in terms of some of the players they had, they appeared to be well capable of climbing the table. So from that point of view you think you can affect it and help for the better.
“I’ll keep myself going because I’m not mentally weak. I will keep myself going, that’s just the way I am. I’ve never given up fighting in my life. I’ll rock up and I’ll still be positive.”
Slade questioned the running of the club which has meant that many highly capable members of staff in a number of departments have left for a variety of reasons including better pay elsewhere, leaving those on the payroll to cover those roles as well as their own and said: "To do any job you need your tools. It doesn’t matter whether it’s the commercial department, the fitness department, the administrative department – you need your tools.
“If you haven’t got the tools in the box, you’re going to find it hard to fix the job. It’s difficult for me when I haven’t got all of the tools.”
