' RUSSELL SLADE ON THE VERGE?? ? '

Gotta laugh we win against huddersfield and everyone makes out slade is amazing. f**k him off and get bellamy in i say.

Exactly. If he's so disillusioned he'll walk then bonus. I'm sure the young pros at our club will be absolutely delighted.

I don't believe a word of it anyway he's worked under far worse restrictions than what he's working under now. Hes bringing players in from feyenoord ffs. When he's working for Orient and Yeovil he's be lucky to get a free transfer from Scarborough.

I also don't believe for one second he's only on 2k a week.

Do you believe slade signs these players though polo. Oh I loved the Scarborough trip and there tin shed grandstand to the right of the away end before they went pop we took 500 there many years ago yet mustered up 300 yesterday.

Slade out.

If there's any truth to any of this, then boy has he been handed a gift basket from the club. The guy was being rightfully torn apart by the fans, and close to losing his job, but then the transfer embargo kicked in and gave Slade a reason to leave on HIS terms so that he could make out like WE were the problem, not him. What an opportunistic shit.

Isn't Slade on £100k per year, and didn't we just spend £10k on transport to and from Huddersfield. Considering we are clearly tightly watching costs this month, I'm calling bullshit on the suggestion that we wouldn't be able to pay anyone any more than we have for Slade.

We've supposedly been done on FFP for what the club claims is a technicality, and are still being loan players in - those aren't the actions of a club that would be in some sort of serious trouble to appoint a replacement if their manager left. Mistakes have been made my those at the top of the club, but I personally think the FFP stuff is exclusive related to our transfer actions last summer and the wages given out as a result. Nothing about what we have done since would get us into a financial mess more than it would any other single football club. So with that in mind, I'm really not worried that our 15/16 dealings will cause the embargo to stay next summer. Maybe I'll be wrong, who knows?

77 wether Slade signs them or not he's working with far, far, far better players than he's ever worked with.

He's so fortunate to work with these good players its these players keeping him in a job.

I don't care. Given the talent in the squad we should have always been mid table. If the players had downed tools we would be lower, but he has built a good atmosphere so we are delivering as expected. He has similar beliefs to DJ which are outdated even in the second tier of mega rich English football. 442, good bunch, let them get on with it and the results take care of themselves.

He has stumbled across a formation that can deliver movement and intelligence, something we have been moaning about all season.

Given the model that Vinny seems to be employing, we really need a decent head of recruitment more than a manager / head coach. Slade excuses of having no funds (even though he has spent about £3million) has came about due to the irresponsible total backing of Ole by Dalman and ultimately Tan. But, since when has a fan moaned about the owner backing a manager, only a Cardiff City i guess.

All Slade has prove to me is any experienced journeyman manager can manage a championship club with talented players better than a inexperienced rookie. But for promotion you need the x factor and for most promoted clubs that comes from a club who throw together a balanced talented squad with a leader they all believe in who has a plan.

Russ is a good guy, but without the balanced squad and he definitely hasn't got a plan. If he left it wouldn't be noticed.

It wouldn't bother me if he up and walked today and I would be more than happy if the club asked Paul Trollope to take charge for the rest of the season. I honestly don't believe Slade leaving would have that great an effect on our chances of reaching the playoffs.

Boring, unimaginative and one dimensional football is what I will remember Slade for although I understand he has had to deal with some right shit off the field since he arrived, transfer embargo and selling players who one day are going nowhere and the next are gone would surely try the patience of anyone.

One day the truth will come out about this transfer embargo, and in particular the "Technicality" behind it. The last time we had a transfer embargo it was because we hadn't published our annual accounts. I've read the club expect the embargo to be lifted in March just after the date Companies House are expecting our accounts to be filed. If this turns out to be the reason behind the embargo then I really will feel for Slade.

Still be happy to see him and his boring football gone though.

Interesting I never thought of that

Well believe it all.

Like him or not Slade has done a reasonable job. If he was to walk I believe he would soon find another Championship club.

Ian, Im not a Slade fan at all, but some of the posters on here are so blinded with their dislike of him,they don't even given a chance.

Slade has done the job that the current owner has asked, in fact more in my opinion as we are one win from a top 6 place

So with No money Slade is virtually achieving the impossible.


Ive heard he will walk come May and not stay even if asked.
You won't get a better manager to work for virtually nothing,with no money to spend under this Regime.

Slade needs to be consistent Now.

Its taken a long time for me to respect Slade as a lot of his football has been dire,but get a win on Saturday v MK Dons and Slade will start proving a lot of us wrong including myself.

Annis the football of late has been just as entertaining than what Malky ever produced. For me the person that made this happen was Tony Watts. The fact we had someone in the side who could get things moving had a confidence effect on all the other players. Even when Watts was quiet the team seem to play decent football. So things were looking up.

Then next thing is Watts is gone. Now there is only one department to blame there and it is not Slades department. It will not surprise me if Slade tells Tan where to go if offered a new contract and that will be a turn up for the books.

I think the decision was made not to buy Watt. Yes, he was better than what we had at the time, but open your eyes a bit more to the bigger picture when he was with us, he didn't get into good opportunities to score, he wasn't prolific, so why spend money on him when the club would've already known the embargo was coming.

Gotta laugh we win against huddersfield and everyone makes out slade is amazing. f**k him off and get bellamy in i say.

Slade gets a good win away from home yesterday and everyone now lurches the other way as has been said many times, Cardiff supporters are extremely fickle. Let's get things Straight, although Slade has had to trim the squad and reduce the wage bill, he still has a top six squad at his disposal, he has done better than I thought he would, but that doesn't mean he has done anything special, if we were sitting in the top two or challenging those places, then granted, Slade would be hot shit, but we are not. We still have some of the highest earners in the league, who have the luxury of flying to games, hardly a club in tough circumstances. There would be any number of managers out there, who have achieved much more than Slade, who would give their right arm to manage this club, make no mistake

It's not just Huddersfield though is it? as we won well at Wolves last time out (away) and we're also unbeaten at home in 10 games!

I also have no idea where you get the idea that we have a top 6 squad from, as we currently haven't got one decent proven striker at our club at Championship level. Selling KJ & Joe Mason were the right decisions in my book, but they were our 2 top scorers, although neither looked like breaking the 15 goal a season barrier, let alone the 20 goals barrier this team desperately needs if we were to mount a serious challenge for promotion!

Having some of the highest earners in the league guarantees you nothing and in our case, it only shows the extent of financial mismanagement that went on at our club, prior to Slade's appointment!

My opinion is that Slade isn't the manager for me, but whether you like him or not, we're still challenging for a play off place under his tenure, with him having one arm tied behind his back and he certainly doesn't deserve the shit he's having to take from some of our fans!

I witness the same 3 or 4 old pricks every home game constantly shouting Shit about Slade. He can't hear them as we in Ninian. But some of the shit they shout is not even Slade's fault. Take last week for example. When Marshall went on his kamikaze run out of box for Rotherham equaliser, they blamed Slade for making Marshall (top GK &international ) lose his confidence
It's great when we pull of a result or lead and I take great pleasure in saying to them. Now sit down and shut the fuk up or support the team..........Tossers

Agreed. The football has been awful since his arrival. A couple of games where the team plays to a good standard, which they should have been capable of reaching throughout Slade's tenure, and then everything is fine. My view is that the team this season and, especially last season, had the capability of being in the chase for automatic promotion or at least sit comfortably in the top 6. If that had been the case then we might not have lost Kenwyne Jones or Joe Mason now anyway.

Sorry I'm not a fan of Slade. Never have been and never will be. Awful football, no tactical ability (always 442 no matter what) and picks odd teams with often our best players left on the bench. Agreed that this has improved a bit recently but it's taken Slade nearly two years to discover what everyone else knew. For me, Trollope would be better to lead us for the rest of the season. We can then work out if he is permanent manager material or we need to get someone else in next season.

I'm really surprised how people change their minds on here, especially after a better result. Ask the same people at half time yesterday and they would have then been saying Slade Out.

It's not necessarily u turning fans though is it.

We are top 10
With

No club support
No fan support
No togetherness
No ambition.

Slades football has been awful on occasion.
(Likewise Malkys was and jones,s was too).

It's not like an away win at Huddersfield has changed a fickle fan base, it's after a realisation that slade has been fighting in the rain with no coat on.

Is Slade the messiah - f**k no.

Who is ultimately inmates responsible at this club......

Bang on!!! Top post and agree with this 100%

put out by who? This forum

Everyone's an accountant these days

At the moment it appears that maybe we are better off with slade at the mo. I fully backed slade (also whilst a few games past that were quite frankly poor ) for a long while but recently I posted something along the lines of he's done a good job but enough is enough we need a new manager to take us further. But I change my mind again - and I think it is all a matter of perspective. Slade is what we can afford and we wouldn't be able to replace him with a big named manager anyway! So 2 options we ever back him and hopefully give him the confidence to take this team on as far as poss or we slate him and put him under more pressure where this could fail. If slade actually got us into the playoffs it would be a big achievement - and that's what makes it more exciting! Could u imagine (dare to) if we got into the play offs on the last day off the season on goal difference! Won the semi final and got to Wembley! Went 2 nil up in the final and then the other team came back to 2-2! Penalty shoot out - the player that I would most like to score the winning penalty to take us up would be ....Peter whittingham for his loyalty and commitment to our club! Well of course this is all a distant dream but if it actually happened then it would be so amazing and so unexpected! It's clubs like us that have more unpredictability than say the top 2 or 3 current clubs. I know it's unlikely that we make the playoffs let alone promotion but look at Swansea when they went up! No one expected them to go up!

Tan will use the Mason money to pay off half the Scam Hammam money and if they sell any other players that will also go to Hammam I think.

Slade wont walk away - he enjoys it too much deep down. Like a PE teacher who gets to be manager for a day. He probably wears his trake suit to bed

Can't see slade having any problems finding another job.
Cant fault his work ethic and his passion to succeed.
football is amazing but niether was malkys and he was given money.
slades hands are tied for now and it's good to see some people giving him a break and realising hes actually doing a decent job with what he has !

3 points of playoffs fans should be happy

RS must have known, well before he signed the dotted line, the massive job ahead at City, & what was required of him. That's why he was hired, as his previous twenty odd years in League football was recommended to VT.

He knew the score, & thus became VT's whipping boy. There can be little or No sympathy in that.

As for the future, nothing short of a play off place will guarantee his survival at City, IMHO anyway,,,but I will give him credit, hes done a little bit better than I thought he would!

Agree about the fickleness of some of our fans.

What I would say about Slade is that he has done a good job in difficult circumstances. He has reduced the wage bill and when he first joined he put a system of play in place that stopped the rot started by Ole. He has also produced some good results.

What I would say though is that although he has reduced the wage bill he has brought in some very dubious signings and his refusal to give youth a chance is baffling. As I said we have had some good results but for every good result there are poor results such as Rotherham home and away, MK Dons away and the wurzels at home. Slade also struggles when teams change tactics such as the 2-0 leads lost in 3 consecutive home games.

If he leaves I would thank him for his hard work but believe w can get a better manager in.

He is doing a good job under the restrictions he is under and the pressure aswell and I praise him for that and if went right now I bet we would start to decline and almost everyone would want him back and the next manager choice would have to be bang on.

He is doing a good job lets be honest.

I'm 100 per cent behind Slade staying. Very difficult job to do on low managers wages.
Our club are getting rid of our playing assets and whoever takes over then I can see our fans not liking it one bit.
We will not got a top manager after Slade- get over it.

You really think that we would go into decline if Slade left

Remember the Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley results at home just before Christmas - it was embarrassing

Someone above said that Slade has "passion to succeed". Well where is that then? He stands in the technical area looking like a right mellon with his arms folded or hands in his pockets. I don't see any passion whatsoever.

He's still a tactical dinosaur. Its taken him two years to try anything other than 4-4-2. Why wont he give the development team some opportunity or let Kennedy have a game. Why did he put Revell on the bench yesterday - I don't know how he even made it as a professional footballer.

We normally look awful when we play at home - that's why none of the floating fans are turning up.

What would be lost by putting Trollope in charge until the end of the season? He's already on the payroll so no additional cost, we wont get relegated, so what would we lose? A play off spot is possible, but in my view, under current home form very unlikely.

We're still playing 4-4-2 or a variation of it in a 4-4-1-1 and whilst I've no idea what Kennedy has done to deserve not getting more run outs, he's now out on loan, which may or may not be Slade's decision. As for Revell being on the bench yesterday, what other striker options (Apart from Saadi, who's hopefully making his way back to fitness) do we have at the club, that only you know about?

Whilst our football may not well be exhilarating stuff, we're now unbeaten at home in 10 league matches. Our away form is what's been holding us back in the main until the last couple of games this season and if we can start turning some of the home draws into wins as well, then hopefully we can push on into the Play Off places!

Until we let kenwyne go this window we haven't had to sell a player that would have actually been in Slade's plans.

The so called cost cutting was just the removal of players that had made it clear they didn't want to be here and hadn't really played under Slade or Ole before him.

We still have some of the best players in the championship and it's a pretty well balanced squad nowadays.
