Russell Slade on the brink at Cardiff City as FA Cup defeat looks set to herald the beginning of the end
15:16, 11 JAN 2016 UPDATED 15:49, 11 JAN 2016


BY STEVE TUCKER


Slade's Bluebirds were beaten 1-0 by Shrewsbury on Sunday with the defeat being described as the 'last straw' by a club source



Cardiff City’s shocking FA Cup defeat at the hands of League One Shrewsbury looks set to herald the beginning of the end of Russell Slade’s time as Bluebirds’ manager, WalesOnline can reveal.

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.

Even if Slade does survive until the end of this season, with Tan most likely to stick with the man he appointed for now, Slade’s contract at the club ends this summer and it looks extremely unlikely he will be offered another.



We have been told even if Slade gets the Bluebirds promoted to the Premier League this season he will still be dispensed with for fear he is not good enough to manage in the top-flight.

The final decision on the manager’s fate rests with billionaire businessman Tan, who has been a big supporter of Slade so far.

Tan has apparently leant a more sympathetic ear to the concerns expressed to him about Slade’s management by his senior staff in the Welsh capital of late.

Should Cardiff City sack Russell Slade?
YES
NO
A gradual dissatisfaction with the job Slade is doing at Cardiff has been growing amongst the club’s hierarchy with this weekend’s cup exit acting as the tipping point.

Senior sources have revealed there is extreme disappointment at the dwindling crowds at Cardiff City Stadium this term with Slade’s style of football identified as one of the root causes.

Vincent Tan held talks with Russell Slade two days ago

Cardiff have endured record low Championship crowds throughout the campaign and only 4,782 supporters turned up for the Shrewsbury FA Cup clash.

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.

Slade’s side are currently just four points off the Championship play-offs with a tough trip to high-flying Hull next on the agenda, but the manager's future at the club has suddenly been thrown into considerable doubt.

What a waste of time why wait till now and let him set a boring style of play, sign his own players etc....

Just hope if they Sack Slade make sure they recruit a experienced manger, but who would want to take over this club at this time ? Personally for me Slade should never of been appointed so was doomed to failure

In Slades defence, he had to sort out the mess Ole made, he took us back years with a massive squad and massive wages, whoever came in had a difficult job, but it needed an expert with a cut throat attitude quickly shift the bad apples......

He also saved West Brom. They had a 22% win rate under their former manager and have 38% under Pulis.

He's done well there I think Allan must be smoking something from his travels.

Tony Pulis is a stabilizer. If a club is in trouble he can stabilize them for a few seasons, maybe push for Europe. Then for what ever reason club gets rid and gets someone else in. Now to be fair Mark Hughes has done pretty well at Sjoke.

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.
