" Sacking Russell Slade "

Give him the bullet now!

Aww that's not nice the man is really trying to do his best he just has to put with ole's overpaid players for now but give him the chance to bring some more of his players in who will want to play and work hard for Cardiff City.

How many of Oles players was on the field today? And what will change exactly if Slade brings in his own players? Not sure I trust a man who constantly puts 3 defenders on the bench. Even 3 centerbacks once. Why isn't Burgstaller on the bench ahead of either John or Fabio today?, or even Kim?

The thing is Slade hasn't really got much choice to replace the out of form players because he they have been moved on because of high wages or injuries and Ole really has unbalanced the squad.

Sorry I really don't see your point. He rid Daehli and Ravel - then he starts using a free role. He insist on playing a formation not suited for our squad, we don't have the type of midfielders for it. Should be the first on transfer priorities. He insist using players like Noone and Le Fondre totally out of form. Yet he leaves players like Daehli, Burgstaller, Maynard and Guerra totally out In the cold. He gets hammered with goals against us, and not once have Slade identified the midfield in a press conference. It's all but his own fault the way he sets up the team identical every game. Sorry mate, in my opinion he is totally out of his depth

I'm tired of repeating myself let's see after January how the team looks and performs.

Your repeating yourself because your not addressing the questions like from this guy.
You don't need your own players to play them in correct positions. You don't need them to play a pressing game in midfield & to show a bit more fight & effort. I could go on forever.
Yes it should help when a manager brings in his own players but a decent manager should be able to work & improve the players we have/had as well.

I appreciate your loyalty here but you remind me so much of that clown partywithole who defended him to the point of becoming delusional. I'm sure he's on this forum somewhere under a different name. (I don't mean your a clown by the way!)
Are you partywithole in disguise??

We'll be safe this season, my heritage has been restored with the blue,looking forward to the new badge,the books are starting to balance and our stadium is impressive and hosts a resurgent Wales team so even red seats don't annoy me .We don't have a clue what goes on behind the scenes or what agenda Russell has to follow.Ok he isn't Morenio but he does what he does without an ego or without using us as a stepping stone for a bigger club.I'm just going to enjoy my team and support our manager for the rest of the season with no pressure of play offs or relegation.By the end of the season we will have a much clearer picture.Bloooobirds

17 days into the transfer window and he's sold the alloy wheels off our car and put wheel trims on...

Thats a pretty good way of putting it Butttt a big but

I was curious of letting slade get a transfer window

Revell scored today so at the moment his scoring record is above any strikers on ratio so im not going to comment there.

Tacticts from slade are bog standard I just don't know what to say on the pitch apart from let him have the window and see what he develops.

I don't think relegation is going to happen but I think mid or just below mid is where we will finish.
unless slade is the right man and pulls some sort miracle signings and produces great football.

The way I look at it is we have our pride back and I want to keep it that way .. give slade till the end of the season or until tan decides his fate.

We can't complain as many of us said ide rather be in league 2 then play in red

I think it was just a few people who said that really!

The pride in a football fans eyes generally comes from their team playing good football.

On that basis we've got nothing tk be proud of at the moment, only a shirt colour which will soon wear thin if things don't improve.

I see the word delusional banded about again.......

The delusional ones are the one that haven't accepted our situation......

We are back to to the 90's in sense of relative spending power. The high earners and saleable assets will be gone, very quickly. Tan has publicly lost, but he will want as much cash drained out of this cow as possible. Those wanting Gunnar and Whitts dropped may get their wish and both will be out the club, even Whitts who is basically one of our own by now !!!!!!!.

DJ was one of the top earners in the championship during his reign, Malky for a relative rookie was also highly compensated. Forget any name you have heard of, because if you have heard of them they will be too expensive.

Tan has brought Slade in for next season. Bargain's and kids with maybe one or two older heads. This is how I remember Cardiff City. I'll be glad we lose the fans who want "big name" players and managers........How did it work for you ?

Looking at Slades CV, he does well with little....... We need to get behind him and except that his hand are firmly tied

Very good post,,,& You are absolutely right IB, nail on the head stuff...& when the dust finally settles I'm sure a lot more will agree with you.

He have what we have now, & I think most City fans can see where all this is going. Some even wanted it this way.

As for me, City is my club, regardless. Roll on the never ending circle of life!

Would be fatal in my opinion let him rebuild the squad he has brought in a couple of players so far who seemed to up to it and also bringing Harris through as well and come on we just got beaten by a team who thrashed Millwall and Huddersfield at home.

Thank you for your input Mr Slade But the real reason you are shite is you are Vinny's puppet. That's all really. But hey Cardiff City are back in Blue and playing crap. Love it

It's not my fault that Norwegian buffoon left me such an unbalanced gutless overpaid squad of players.

Give him the bullet now!

Are you partywithole in disguise??

No i ain't partywithole i am my own man with just a different opinion than a lot of people on here.

The real test is from now on. Let's see how he responds to yesterday. We must play a 5 in midfield from the start with Revell as lone striker. Connolly must play at centreback. He has been consistently quite good all season, which is more than you can say for Morrison or Turner. We need two players who can make a difference asap : an experienced midfielder like Darren Fletcher,who can captain the side and a goalscoring number 10, who fits into a more fluid system. Having said that, I'm not optimistic.

Were a mid table team some people just need to accept that we're not going up or down despite what some idiots think on here. Give slade a chance to build his own squad in the summer then judge after 5 or 6 games next season. He's certainly an improvement on Ole and many (not me) moaned about Malky's so calls boring football an lack of goals well at least were scoring plenty of goals under slade unfourtunetly thus far our defending has been terrible.

Give him the bullet now!

I think most people on here understand the way the club is going as you've pointed out but the fact remains Slade is messing up week after week with players out of position, players not getting a look in, no pressing, not stringing 4 passes together, tactics of being out numbered in midfield, etc etc etc.

But I also think we should try to get behind him for the rest of the season & see how it pans out (not well IMO)

if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. There is no way Slade will ever gear this club ready for a promotion push

Who knows eh?

well, it would take a miracle the way the team play under him and the coaching staff. Revell looks decent enough so he deserves a bit of credit for that one, but the football the worst i've ever seen in my lifetime watching City.

If Slade cannot see that 442 is a dead ideal after his tenure at ccfc we have no hope.

If Slade cannot see that whitts is not a cm we have no hope.

A man who has changed his fb in 60% of his games for what reason?

Some people have no clue like seriosuly some of the reponses on this thread are comical

Red we moan (fair enough)

Now we are blue tan is no good cos he ain't spending Any moeny

Can't make it up

Read the FFP rules before you spout shit about better managers more transfer funds debt to equity etc etc etc


Tan currently puts £2m a month in to meet costs and had done for some time

FFP rules state wages cannot be more than 80% of turnover or you face fines (man city £150m fine) and even points deductions

I'd estimate before the players starting leaving that our wages were 150% of turnover hence the £2m a month shortfall between revenue and expenditure

This simply cannot happen anymore we must be sustainable if that means a squad of freebies and small fees ridding us of players that cost stupid amounts in wages and fees who don't give a f**k and a manager who isn't great but works for peanuts instead of another clueless idiot on £2m a year plus bonuses then I'm fine with it

I watched shit football for 3 years under Mackay and for 10 years before dave jones another few years doesn't make a f*cking difference does it

The difference is that we've had a bit of success in the last 7 years, since our promotion our fans think we should have the divine right to be in the Premier League or finish in the top 6 in the Championship at the very least every single season.

Seems that way John

We should be careful with what we wish for.

True.

I wanted us to get rid of Ole and it seems we've replaced him with someone even worse!

Nah come Be honest No one can get any worse than ole Slade is an improvement if Ole was in charge today we wouldn't of fought back today we would of rolled over and lost 5 nil.

What's a fight back worth if you don't get anything from the game. We've done it a few times now, fighting spirit should be minimum requirement

Id have Ole back in a heart beat.

Post of the month, very well said Sir.
My opinion is that things will get a whole lot worse very soon.
All the high earners left will soon be moved on.
Mr Tan has had enough , no more high fees , high wages for players.
Only free transfers and lower league gambles for us.
If you really want to blame anyone for the mess we are now in blame the players as most don't give a care about CCFC and are only here for the money, surprisingly enough Whitts is NOT one of them. He loves our club.
