If we are happy to stay mid Championship then I guess £1m and Trollope is the answer.

All I would ask is that the club do not raise fans hopes. Be honest and say we are not going for promotion - because some fans invest their money hoping or expecting it to happen


Where do we get 10m from tabs already showed he wants us to break even every year to help him reduce the debt to zero he won't be spending money we aren't earning ever again so it's the cheap route to premier league or nothing there'll be no more gambling from mr tan

I think now so many options are available we should be looking at someone better. If he gets the job though I shall support him while he shows what he is about like every manager :ayatollah:

agree with this , we got a good opportunity now to get a decnt manager and not gamble on another Slade, I think the club need to get the appointment right so that everyone can get behind the new manager. Personally I would like to see Warnock or Clement with Bellamy as the assistant(think he needs to learn his trade before becoming 1st team manager) but can't see it happening

A cliché but I thought you had to spend money to make money. If we spend very little on mediocre players and mangers surely we can only expect to make slow progress. There are exceptions to every rule ie Leicester City, but in general to get good quality people attracted to taking on the challenge they've got to be suitibly encouraged both financially and in terms of the club's vision and ambition. Just my opinion folks.

If he has been offered the job and is unsure, then we should move on. Its not like to has to ask around about the club and personalities I order to make up his mind. Surely we want someone who is eager and enthusiastic about managing Cardiff City

"Smakerz" following your reply to my post above I think this is a decision for the club. However all I ask of our club is honesty.

There are too many clubs these days who try to sell season tickets, shirts etc etc on the promise of a promotion campaign. I'm lucky I have a camera. I get into games free but many don't have the luxury to buy season tickets or club shirts - so before people do spend their hard earned money I just think it's realistic to know whether we are going for top 2, top 6 or 10th

Being honest with your fan base goes a long way in my opinion and, if the club did choose to set a £10m budget, I am sure they would recoup that many times over through season ticket sales and a promotion itself

I would be extremely disappointed if we didn't change the first team manager and coaching set up! There would really have been no need to move slade upstairs in this case!


Thats exactly what I said 3 days ago and I was shocked how many disagreed with me.



i agree this would be the worst appointment in my opinion id rather we went with the untested bellamy than go for trollope who has been part of this season and the shit that come with it
