OGS faces the sack if he doesn't gain promotion this season

Solskjaer and his Bluebirds begin their Championship campaign at Blackburn tonight ranked as one of the favourites for promotion.

The Norwegian knows failure to deliver a top-flight return will not impress owner Vincent Tan.

He said: "The aim and the goal is obviously promotion, I can't do anything but manage the club and do my best.

"Vincent owns the club and I will have to make sure he does not have a question to ask at the end of the season.

"Vincent is as driven as ever. Disappointment hurts and he is one of those who is used to success, so let's start with a good performance and a good result."

Former Cardiff players Rudy Gestede and Craig Conway are set to feature for Blackburn tonight, but boss Gary Bowyer insists they have nothing to prove.

The pair moved to Ewood midway through last season and Bowyer said: "They already proved what a massive asset they are to this club.

"Craig finished as the top assist maker in the Championship and that was with half a season with us.

"We're excited for what potentially could be a hell of a season for him."

Don't want to sound like I am old but what a sad case it is that managers job are quickly under threat nowadays, weren't nothing like it was years ago.. like a merry go round.

I don't think OGS is the right man to take us straight back up but it's only fair to give him a chance. So let's get behind him and the team and hopefully come away with all 3 points tonight

If we have a bad or mediocre start he might not last until Christmas,

Of course he'll go if we don't get promoted because he would have failed but I think he'll get us promoted.Fingers crossed
