Of course Slade pics the team. There is no manager in the world who would let someone else, with no knowledge about football, pick the team for him. Even suggesting it is plain stupid.

Tan has been getting all his advice from Roeder and of course pays him for it as his advisor.

As I put on here weeks ago, there is suppose to be stuff like this in Slades contract?

Eventually a lot of this will come out.



Unfortunately that would make Sense
as to us having to go for a smalltime manager who would be willing to listen to what Tan says and what tan wants.

He has the power to intervene with roeders input should he want to intervene but ths is more of a measury of caution if
slade isn't doing well

I don't pretend to know anything but my feeling is that Slade picks the team and has final say no matter what Tan wants. He seems to be an intelligent and honourable man and he's not being paid a fortune so it seems to me that he sees this as his big chance to do something in football and who, in that position, would allow interference from above on team matters, transfers etc. It just wouldn't make any sense :thumbup: :bluescarf:

Why not just make Roeder manager and cut out the middle man?

Also has Roeder been at every match ?

(Im genuinely asking both questions Nukes)

I said that Tan wanted a DOF and I said it was Glenn Roader but all went quiet and the reason why we haven't heard anything is Tan has hired him on a season by season private contract worth £112.000 a year. A personal advisor so to speak.
And to add to the mix Glen Roader and Tan are selecting the team and then they discuss with Slade. Slade does have a little say but in reality he does what he's told.
To be honest that is no way to run a Football Club and I can't see it ever working but hey it's just a normal working shift under Vincent Tan.


Well the obvious question is why don't you produce some proof to back up your statement regarding Roader & Tan picking the team?
You say it's fact well prove it.

I'm pretty sure Tan has 'influence' over team selection whether now or in the past but don't believe he picks the team.
When somebody states a comment like this nuclearblue guy has then he needs to produce some facts to back it up or it's complete meaningless drivel ........

Exactly nuclearbullshit has no facts to back up his statement.

This is probably the fact of the matter. He has been told roeder is director of football fair enough and slade has probably got stuff in his contract to say he must work under a director of football etc..
This is where bullshit and rumours start then where people are told one thing and then people way over exagarate the truth and add other bits in to change facts into bullshit. Whether that person is nukes or nukes source i dont know but to say tan and roeder picks the team is nonsense.
The only interference tan or roeder would have on team affairs though imo is freezing players out due to agent and money reasons imo and telling slade he cant pick individual players,that wouldnt surprise me but tan/roeder picking the team is completely differant and silly to suggest that

Again let me just remind you that my update on Malky ended up being the biggest topic in football this season. And I broke that story a couple of months before the story came out period. And Wez where is your proof that you know half the team ? Which ones for a start ? I say what I heard. if you believe that is brilliant, if not and if it's the biggest bull shit you have heard why bother replying ? .
Some would like good news to come out but this is Tans Circus and good news don't just happen. Just one embarrassing mess after another. The only good news that can come out will be a return of our identity but I really can't see that happening for some time. Anyway thanks for reading Chiefs :ayatollah:

It´s just plain unbelievable, mate. Can you imagine Tan contacts Slade with this proposal: "Hi, listen Russell, do you want to become the new manager of Cardiff? You will be in charge when it comes to tactics and stuff like that, but I will pick the team. Alright? Sounds good?"

You honestly believe any manager would agree on such terms?

If there is anything at all in this rumor, it has to be a very light version of it, e.g. that Tan sometimes makes suggestions or wishes.

Some very good points Chief. But let's flip the coin here. Slade was about to get the sack from Orient and had we not come running in he would of. Now Orient ain't a big Club and he hasn't exactly been sought after ( Not saying he ain't any good) but he was about to end up on the dole. City come in and for him he is still on good wages compared to any other offer he could of had. We are Championship team as well and let's be honest he would of agreed to anything. Oh hang on a minute he did :lol: . Also Tan also has the ego and he has admitted he could now run and manage a team from what he has learnt. It really ain't as crazy as most seem to think.And why didn't he pick a big name ? Because as you said a bigger name can not be manipulated end of. We are talking about one Vincent Tan here :bluescarf:

The point needs to be made that Slade does have a say in the team but it's selected first by Roader and Tan and then it is taken to Slade. Not as Loony as you would think. Anyway when it comes to Tan who hired a painter and decorator and complained because Marshal has never scored now that's Loony Chief.And finally ask yourself why he hired someone like Slade ? Hmmmm

Still sounds crazy, although according to Loncar, Ole´s contract was violated on 3 points, and full control of everything concerning the team could be one of them. Ole´s first interview after an eventual final agreement is made, might shed some light on the matter.
