" UPDATED "
Cardiff City managerial, Unfolding developments after Russell Slade arrives at Bluebirds training ground.


Vincent Tan is "pulling out all the stops" to have Russell Slade installed as Cardiff City manager for Saturday's game.

That was the term used when I spoke to a friend this morning, apparently he is willing to pay compensation for Slade ( Slade offered his resignation but it was not accepted ), so now City are going down the route of negotiations with Orient for Slade.

Slade will be at the game on Saturday apparently, even if the paperwork has not been sorted to name him as manager but by the sounds of it, Tan is doing everything he can to get the deal done.

It has potential to get messy between the clubs, obviously Orient are trying to get as much as possible for their manager but they have been a bit daft really, printing in Tuesday's match programme, that Slade only had a game to keep his job.

If Tan were to pull out today we would be liquidated within three months. Probably a lot less.

Fact

Well we were on the verge of it before he came in. Now we are in a lot more debt albeit to him so if he cut and run he would stop subsidising us. Even if we went in administration there's not enough money to keep the club going ergo HMRC would liquidate us like they did Rangers. Who could come in and sort that? They would have before. We are a second tier side with massive overheads. We are not a sound investment.

That's what I was thinking. Everybody getting excited at the prospect of Tan pulling out and us not having a club to support any more...

My reaction was more Worried.

That's your assumptions based on what the courts said a number of years ago now. So really it's not fact at all especially on the area that there would be no other party interested

Millions of debt yes but to who....Tan.

Tan stand no chance of getting his money back unless we get promoted and look a good bet to stay the course this time. If Tan walks because we do not get promoted then his best best is to sell us on the cheap and cut his losses. I believe he will do that so I'm not worried one bit about us going into oblivion.

My only concern is that if someone new came in then they would look at bringing down the ongoing costs which is mainly the players wages. Our squad would be stripped down and we would most likely be staring at a few years fighting a relegation battles whatever league we were in. However it is a concern I would quite easily live with if it meant getting back to any resemblance of a football club with its traditions restored.
