Cardiff target Slade resigns as Leyton Orient manager
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Russell Slade has taken a step closer to the vacant manager post at Cardiff City after the Bluebirds target tendered his resignation as Leyton Orient boss.
The Welsh side have been without a manager since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s departure last week, with Slade - last season’s League One manager of the year - installed as the hot favourite for the position.
However, Orient confirmed on Monday they had rejected an approach from the Championship outfit for the 53-year-old coach.
The O’s then revealed on Wednesday - 24 hours after their Capital One Cup defeat to fellow League One side Sheffield United – that Slade had submitted a letter of resignation.
"This has not happened by chance after the club rejected this afternoon, a proposal from the general manager of Cardiff City regarding the transfer of Russell Slade," an O's statement read.
"The lawyers of the club are now studying the file."
If his resignation is accepted, it would open the way for him to hold talks with Cardiff about a move to the Championship club.

The completely wrong choice.
Hope everyone is looking forward to Walsall, Shrewsbury and Chesterfield next season.

What's wrong with that, I thought we liked "the good old days".
