Russell Slade could be the final nail in the coffin...

I fear that should Cardiff appoint Russell Slade, then it could be the beginning of an even darker period for the club. Slade is a mediocre manager, decent in the lower leagues, but has no experience of managing higher profile players or bigger clubs. He is a risk and gamble and one that's not worth taking. Should we end up mid table or god forbid relegated, which isn't out of the question by installing Slade, then who knows what will happen to the club, we could limp on, changing managers and haemorrhaging money for the next few years until VT finally packs it in, leaving us in God only knows what state. VT is getting advice, he certainly wouldn't have come up with Slade as a candidate
If VT does not take the most sensible course of action and appoint Pulis, who by all accounts wants the job, then I really do think that he has finally fecked it up completely.

Big names don't guarantee success any more than lesser known names will mean we are doomed to fail. Van Gaal and Moyes are two names that spring to mind.

What are those accounts because the only public statements I have seen is that he is waiting for a return to the premier. I have also been told via a family friend of his that he does not want to come to Cardiff.

Exactly some of the people bagging Slade as an option are spruiking for Sherwood who has 5 months managerial experience and was pretty bloody erratic. Spurs fans did not want him in charge as he was tactically naieve. I would rather go for a guy with 20 years experience in the football league with a history of good man management.

Who mentioned Sherwood? We need an experienced manager who has achieved things at this level and ideally above, I don't consider Sherwood in that category, Pulis however is a very different prospect as he has managed at the highest level and been successful.

Derby fans may have said the same when Clough was appointed their manger. His previous club was Hartlepool, always struggling to stay in the football league. Within 4 or 5 years , he got Derby promoted and made them English League champions. Did even better later at Forest, but in between was a flop at Brighton and Leeds. No way of knowing how well a manager is suited to a club until given the opportunity..
I still think Scoular was one of our best managers, and we got him after he was sacked by Bradford P.A

I feel he will become a spokesman only for tan who will have every say on the managers day to day running and picking the team and the only reason why we are going for a lower league manager over ones who have a better profile who wouldnt touch us with a barge pole eitherway we as fans can only sit back and support whoever the manager is untill results & performances say otherwise

I would disagree

My concern is that if we play poorly & don't get the results we should straight away he will be under a ton of pressure & it will all go tits up.

How is slade going to get championship level experience if fans like us moan that he gets appointed? It could be a good appointment or it could he bad but still he deserves a chance to prove himself, not every big name succeeds at every club, why not give a lower league manager a chance

What are we, a fecking charity? or training centre? Why the feck are a club of our size taking chances on untested managers, when there are managers out of work with Premier and Championship experience, who have won promotions to the highest league and proven they can manage at the highest level?
