Vincent Tan has held emergency talks with Russell Slade

Last night’s embarrassing 1-0 reverse in the Welsh capital has been described as the ‘last straw’ by a club source and a recommendation has been made to owner Vincent Tan to sack Slade immediately.

It is believed Chairman Mehmet Dalman and Ceo Ken Choo have spoken to owner Vincent Tan.

With the January transfer window now open there is also a reluctance to support the Cardiff manager in any signings made.

Senior sources have pointed to the players he has brought in since taking charge in October 2014 as a major reason for concern.


Annis

Out of interest, whose media report is this? Some are more reliable than others.

Steve Tucker at Media Wales. I wouldn't hold my breath but I really hope this is true and he's spoken to somebody well within the club.

Tan is the problem slade is Tans man tan wanted him.
Look all we have to do is appoint a tried and tested manager at this level someone the fans have Faith in.
We never believed in slade from the off but we all no he was here to cut the costs players etc. He was never going to have any success was he I feel for slade he's done a good job even if the football is dire.

Don't get excited just yet.

I can see something along the lines of this:-

Had a meeting
Agreed things need to improve
Not far away from play-offs
Will be given chance to turn things around
Will be given limited help in transfer window
Fans need to rally round and back the team.

In other words, as long as we are not in danger of being relegated Tan will save the money payable to compensate Slade by just letting his contract run out at the end of the season.

Hope I'm wrong.

It's simple you either back him or sack him

Re: BREAKING NEWS ' RUSSELL SLADE COULD BE FINALLY GOING '

Mon Jan 11, 2016 4:36 pm

Wishful thinking. He won't be going anywhere until next summer at the earliest.

That's my thinking I actually don't mind Slade that much granted he should use the younger players a bit more such as kennedy,John etc... but he hasn't done a bad job and I will always like him and look out for him at his next club. However if what the sources are saying is true and the board has no faith in slade to buy players in the transfer window then rather then let us waste a transfer window which could help us make the playoffs at the end of the season they may as well get rid of Slade now :sladeout:

He's looked out of his depth for a while now, First team tactics and style of play not good enough. He has no idea what to do with the kids in the academy, I wouldn't trust Slade to develop a cold. I think Tan will stick with him until his contract is up and just give him a thank you and all the best in the summer.

That's the problem with the club at the minute nobody there has the balls or ambition to do anything to try and correct things

Hope he goes, I wouldn't mind Warnock and hope theres a massive clearout of the deadwood in the squad together with Scott Young

Are we sure this is true? Only earlier they said Macheda was set to leave. That we had made a bid for a Championship winger and that we were in talks regardin the targetman but now it's being said he has no money?

Annis do you think this is the closest we've ever been to getting rid of Slade?

Re: BREAKING NEWS ' RUSSELL SLADE COULD BE FINALLY GOING '

Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:16 pm

You're time is done here Mr Slade now pack your bags.

Re: BREAKING NEWS ' RUSSELL SLADE COULD BE FINALLY GOING '

Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:18 pm

It's funny, the thought of Slade being sacked actually fills me with enthusiasm for the next match, a feeling I haven't felt in a long time. He's a nice guy but clearly limited and appointed well above his station. He's cut costs so time to cut him loose now. It really would give the whole place a lift. Won't happen but I'd be thrilled with Nigel Pearson.

Keith,
The meeting I got from a reliable person in the BBC.
The quotes are from media Wales

I think Slade will eventually lose his job but I don't expect it to happen just yet. Tan will probably deliberate for a few more games and then pull the trigger. If he is going to sack it needs to be now so the new manager has the transfer window to rebuild the squad. My worry is that Tan will react too slowly.

Yes yes yes feck off Slade and Tan grow a pair and rid of RS :sladeout:

Many meetings but with very little outcome. Hopefully this one is a termination of his contract. Or an ultimatium

Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:39 pm

Just read the WOL report and I've gone back to being Glummo again! It says senior staff have recommended Slade's sacking to Tan but he is likely to keep him in charge (with a good ticking off) :twisted: Ho hum back to the Prozac!

Re: BREAKING NEWS ' RUSSELL SLADE COULD BE FINALLY GOING '

Mon Jan 11, 2016 5:44 pm

No chance of tan sacking slade,all tan wants slade to do is reduce the wage bill and to keep us in championship,two things he is doing
