ALL BOLLOCKS ABOUT SLADE BEING A SAFE PAIR OF HANDS

Wed Sep 24, 2014 10:13 pm

How come no other club has come in for him if this guy is such a fantastic man manager, who's teams play free flowing football. A load of bollocks, we have gone for him because we have the biggest set of twats at the head of the club now, who know absolutely feck all about football, apparently taking advice from failures like Roader. Barry Hearn employed him because he was cheap and didn't spend any of his money! of course a miser like Hearn would love that. We are a totally different set up, money and budgets is not the issue. We need a leader, a statesman who has proved himself at the highest level. The team and club are doomed, if Slade is appointed.

Unless your psychic and can read in to the future I think your comments are a bit harsh regarding slade.
Yes our board and tan are a complete bunch of numptys, but we should give slade a chance, he has got a good record with the teams in league 1 and done very well there so got something about him, so who says he can't do it at a higher level and could actually thrive and shine even more having a better squad and more money at his disposal, give him a chance I say and if he fails then slag him off. Tan appointed malky and look where that got us...

The club is doomed as it is.

But you're spot on.

You don't need to be Psychic, the guys been in the game for 20 years and has achieved very little, that tells you everything you need to know, undoubtedly he is a decent lower league manager, but that's his level I'm afraid. I and many others, said to the doubters when OGS was appointed, give the guy a chance, we don't know what he's capable of until given the chance, he has played at the highest level has managed a club to the Norwegian title etc etc, although my gut feeling was that it was a gamble, well this time I'm trusting my gut and this is another big mistake if he is appointed. :thumbup:

Let's all start slagging the guy off before he's even appointed. That will be sure to boost team morale (and Slade's morale if the social media keeps up like we do here)

Give. Him. A Chance.

Don't write him off before he's even been here, let alone been appointed. As I've said before, what had Malky done before he came here? a mediocre run at Watford... Just get behind the team and support.

Sure it's a gamble... but at this point anybody except Tony Pulis would have split crowds saying it;s the "wrong decision"

Wrong decision or not, we will only ever know if it IS once we've given him a chance and let him show us what he can do.

Please tell me why we have to take a gamble?? We have a very good squad of players here, an owner who backs all managers with cash, every opportunity to get promotion and the club goes for a manager who in 20 years has not managed a club higher than league one and never one any trophies.....it's all beyond bizarre :lol: :lol:

As I said, What had Malky got before he came here and got us promoted? "a mediocre run at Watford"

But imagine what Slade might be able to do with our players and resources... WITHOUT them he missed out on playing against us this season on penalties in the playoffs...

Pretty much everybody except Cardiff fans are saying he's a good manager and has worked wonders on a shoestring budget, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with us.

And to be fair, either way, we don't have a choice in this. If you're not going to support him, you might as well pack it in now. He will NEED our support to be able to do anything. If you want to see us succeed, you have to at least give him a chance.

He doesn't stand much chance gaining the dressing room with this squad of overpayed egotistical prima donna's

League one specialist, unfortunately most of our lot wont give him the time of day.

Also he's got a track record of bottling big occasions so I hope Cardiff doesn't fall into his category

Talk about Johnny big bollox.... We are a championship club and he is in league 1 a penalty from the championship.

Our fans are the Newcastle of the championship, who the hell do you think we are.

Over the last 30 years we have spent more time in the dungeon than the premier league...

We are a biggish championship club, not as big as Leeds, forest, wednesday, derby, Norwich, wolves, boro or Brum.


This is a step up for him and he knows it, but some reality and perspective is required here. We were a step up for malky as well.

I think your being a bit Harsh saying no one else wants him, same could be said for any manager.

Likes of Pulis, Haughton, Lennon, Clarke all out of work, “not wanted” either.

I think that is the problem when you say the Owner backs all his Managers with cash, the last two Managers have spent money with relatively little return. Maybe he sees in this guy somebody that can get the best out of this squad and can motivate them which was sadly lacking Tuesday night.

He has achieved manager of the year twice with 2 differing clubs with practically nil budget and worked wonders with them. Give the bloke a chance, it will take time but he has a good squad and with some good man management, which he has a track record for, this might just turn out to be better than we all think.

Do you honestly think that our owner knows feck all about Russell Slade?? :lol: or any manager who is not managing the top 4 in the Premiership :lol: You guys live on another planet FFS. We have supporters comparing Slade with Malky, when it's common knowledge that whilst at Watford, those within football all rated Malky as a top manager in the making, that why within 2 years of his managerial life he had managed a team to a championship trophy and into the top league, that doesn't happen by accident it was the start of his career path. It's gone tits up for him, for many reasons. Now, Russell Slade has been in management for 20 years and never got beyond managing mediocre league one teams, do you really think he's just been unlucky?? :lol: Wake up FFS the guy just hasn't got it to manage at this level and above. That's not just me saying it, it's that fact that no chairman has bothered to hire him outside league one.
In answer to the guy above, I will always support the manager of the team, I have never booed one in over 40 years, but it doesn't mean that I cannot say exactly how I feel about this appointment, I hope to God I'm proved wrong, but I'm pretty convinced this will only end in one way sooner or later.
