' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

' Mehmet Dalman Says NO/ Ken Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says YES'

For months everyones known what Dalman/Choo think about Slade,they've said it on the terraces at away games and in the last week gone publicly in the media that they don't support or back him and so its a NO, they don't want him to stay.

I have never been a Russell Slade fan,but time and time again he comes up with the unexpected results or performances when least expected,like away at Wolves,which for me was outstanding, but in the long run do I want him to stay? the answer is NO. The majority of Slades games have been,poor,dire and with no passion.

Personally I believe its wrong what was said last week in the media by Slades bosses,as it undermines the manager.


Should he stay now till May?

YES in my opinion he has earned the right to stay,with NO money and no backing Slade has kept Cardiff City in top half of the Championship all season and knocking on the door of the play-offs even if the majority of the football has been dire.

If Tan had sacked Slade, I could only see another yes man coming in or Trollope and Young managing :o

I was told today Vincent Tan has spoken to Russell Slade and told him his job his def safe and he will remain the manager of Cardiff City till at least this May when his contract runs out. So its a YES from Tan to Slade your job is safe.

So thats the end of that, any more rumours or crap from the media, Russell Slade is here till May.


So City fans now lets get on with Supporting our team to the end of the season,like we did at Wolves and don't forget you can get tickets at £5 & £10 for this Saturdays home game v Rotherham :thumbright: :thumbright: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

You never know the last couple of weeks may have been a wake up call to slade and we might improve

I'd rather Tan, Dalman, Choo and Nash went before Slade. Slade's not the greatest manager in the world but he's not terrible and the problems with us run a lot deeper than the manager. He's got rid of loads of players and we're still doing alright. I agree sometimes his substitutions and (Wolves excluded) persisting with 4-4-2 cost us points but I don't really know who would come in and do better when we have a mental owner, no money, under a transfer embargo etc

We have Slade until May end of story. I agree fully with Annis that we should now back the team in the superb way the travelling support did on Saturday.

We have it in us as a team manager supporters to do the unexpected and wouldn't it feel so sweet to get promoted in the season Swansea come down :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Where do get this information from? Who says Tan backs Slade? It may be true it may not be true. All I know is Slade managed for the first time this season to get the team to play two halls of football in one match at Wolves. He still must go and go now! :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout:

I'd say that's probably a safe option. Sacrifice this season - we're not going up or down, and haven't spent lots of money. Small stepping stones. Give him until May, and then get a really proven manager in or Bellamy! :ayatollah:

Darren, its very true, Tan does change his mind on many things on a daily basics.

But Slade is doing All Tans dirty work without a moan and reducing the wage bill drastically and not receiving money to bring in new players, plus he's Tans man and nobody else and Tan wants to prove everyone including others at our club that he was right.
So far Slade has virtually guaranteed Championship football for next season on a peanut budget and could even pull a shock by getting City in the play-offs, so in Tans mind he has been proven right to appoint Slade and saved a fortune at the same time.

He has told Slade ,its his job this season.

Brilliantly summed up. Pops up with unexpected, needed, important results. But in terms of longevity, he isn't the man to take us forward in the long run.

For Tan Its a very safe option, when you think about it and not costly either.

But I do believe unless City make the play-offs, season ticket sales will be worse than awful, but thats pennies compared to what Slade is saving Tan.

Re: ' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

Mon Jan 18, 2016 4:23 pm

Agree Annis. Not a Slade fan but he is here to stay so we might as well get behind him. If he continues to play the formation we played at Wolves (it only took him 15 months!) then I'm confident we could have a decent end to the season. I was never keen on giving Slade any more money to spend anyway so think the embargo is for the best. If we can bring in one or two on loan and ship out some more dead wood then in the summer we might be in decent shape if we can appoint the right man (I'm not holding my breath). :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :bluebird:

I hope we play the same way v Rotherham :thumbright: :thumbright:

Yeah, that's a big downside to this strategy I guess. But, if Slade doesn't make the play-offs, gets sacked and then we bring in someone with a bigger reputation and spend some money, then I can see season ticket sales increasing ever so slightly.

Re: ' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

Mon Jan 18, 2016 4:31 pm

I have to say I'm quite happy that Slade has been backed by Tan to be given until the end of the season. Now its up to Slade to deliver the results. If we were to make the playoffs regardless whether we go up or not then I think slade would of earned another contract extension. If we fail to make the playoffs then I think we should let him go when is contract is up.

Re: ' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

Don't see any benefit in sacking him now, although I don't want him to stay I think we should wait until the summer then replace him after we fail to make the play-offs.

Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:06 pm

I don't believe his job has ever been at risk. The football may be crap, but he has done everything that would have been asked of him, and probably a bit more. I can't see that his target at the start of the season was anything more than to keep the club in the Championship. I expected us to finish no higher than 12th, so he is doing better than I thought he would. Would'nt be surprised if he is doing better than Tan expected given the cost cutting that has been forced on him.

Re: ' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:10 pm

Totally agree , let's get behind the team, siege mentality now with the transfer embargo, so the fans have to do their bit.

Re: ' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:13 pm

I think Tan and Slade must have a very close working relationship! :shock:

Yes if and I mean if Tan appointed a manager that the fans could look up to,we might get the near 10,000 again, if not I honestly believe it could be as low as 6,000 season ticket holders next season.

Re: ' Dalman Says NO/Choo Says NO, But Vincent Tan Says '

Mon Jan 18, 2016 6:42 pm

Dalman and Choo are right, they know Slade is not good enough. He's just Tan's puppet.

I actually have more respect for Dalman now that he's more or less admitted in public that he's not a fan. He's been saying it at away games for a while, like you say Annis.

Some will think it's bad that he came out last week and gave his honest opinion, but I like that. Good to know that these sort of people actually have opinions of their own. It would be like every moderator on here agreeing with you all the time Annis, it would be very boring.

Disappointed that Slade will be in charge for the rest of the season. I didn't think anyone new would come in after the embargo but I did think it would be better for Trollope to run the show until the end of the season - I gave my reasons for that on another thread over the weekend.

Yes I'll still support the team, I would whoever the manager was. But I won't pretend that I'm supporting Russell Slade because I'm not. It would be a lie.

Credit where credit is due... Slade is in a very high pressure situation... He's managed to stay calm and the Wolves victory is brilliant... More so because we scored three goals
