He should go ASAP. Hopefully after we lose on Saturday, which is inevitable.

Get Nigel Pearson in with Bellamy as assistant.


We might not lose on Saturday, Wolves are not that great

They're on the up now. On the same amount of points as us

I was there last night at Hull City, where our players never turned up. There was more action in Russell Slade walking across the pitch at the end to clap our 100 plus Diehard City fans than the whole team put together during the match.

Our players have lost heart,desire and will to fight on the pitch, I can see it and virtually every City fan can see that incl Dalman and Ken Choo.

Russell Slade also shook every players hands as they left the field,yet you would of thought he would of been fuming with them? ? ?

I was told this morning, Slade really did think that was his last match,but once again he has been given Vincent Tans backing to turn it around at Wolves away and Rotherham home, these two games really is his last stand.

I am also led to believe strongly that Slade has lost most of the Cardiff City dressing room and much of its to do with playing half the team out of position etc and his non exciting football.

Tans advisers at the club and saying to him enough is enough.

Cardiff City do not have anyone lined up to immediately replace Slade, so Paul Trollope would take over for the time being.



playing half the team out of position ? Who is out of position

Marshall - :cry: no
Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Malone - No
Pilkington, Ralls, Gunnarson, Noone - No
Mason Watt - No

Shit system, but this is the team are esteemed formites wanted, maybe Fabio for malone would be the only contentious position, but both are left backs.

He has lost the the dressing room, whilst we are no where near good enough to go uo automatically, we do have enough talent to be making the Play Offs, So why can't he get the best out of our Players ? :ayatollah:

The squad in my opinion is poor.

The players are frustrating. their basic execution of simple things like pass, move, control, find space, tackle and break fast are very poor.

Slade gets a hammering but, unless Tan sanctions a motivated manager and 3 Dynamo players to include a gut busting mcnaughton type, then slade is just as good as anyone in his wage bracket.

It's the board who need to f**k off and take chairman Mao with thin - fuckin clueless.

We need a freshen up from top and bottom.

I think if Russell Slade does go, he will be snapped up by another Championship club, with no trouble - just look at his record. He's taken us from 17th when he took over, to 9th today, slashing the wage bill by £10M, and only spending £750,000 on players compared to the £60 Million combined spend of Malky and Ollie. We have generally been playing better than last season (when we used to collapse if we went a goal down), and have only lost once at home in the league this season. I have a feeling Russell Slade will be regarded in a similar way to Dave Jones - only really appreciated when he's gone! If Slade is forced out, it will only worsen the relationship between the club and Vincent Tan, as he will see that the man he appointed, and has improved the team gradually, has been forced out, largely by fans who have given up watching the team anyway. Probably many of them are the same ones who said they would return to watch the team when we reverted to playing in Blue, most of whom didn't! One further thing though, if Slade does go, is not to appoint Trollope in temporary charge - he's very good at coaching and training, as he was at Brizzle Rovers, but didn't do well when he took over the reins, so please let him focus on what he's already doing well here!

Some logic, However, some of his decisions re subs have been baffling, mind you, the players are at fault as well. I agree with you about our fans, ' return to blue and We will return '... Joke of the year.

Ask any manager who is currently out of work and looking for a club - do you want a job ? , do you want the Cardiff City job and I would pretty much think they would all say yes.

It's better to be in a job than out of one

Holloway Pearson Warnock Bellamy spring to mind, there would be lots of others.

I'd love Pulis, and he would love to come here - but you cant blame him for wanting to stay in the premier
