"If they'd just have let him talk to Cardiff in the first place we would not be reduced to being :clown.Good luck for the future. Thanks for the good times Russ.x"
"Didn't lift his cap the one time we sang Slade we want you to stay.Disgusting I was hoping Tan was waiting with a hovercraft outside the ground to kidnap him."
"Obviously most of us wish him all the best but I have to echo Richmond and say I doubt he will last the season under that moron Tan, I think he knows that's a distinct possibility but being a shrewd operator himself, he knows he has just brought financial security for him and his family whatever happens results wise."
"Money! He resigned for more money. It's all to do with money. I don't blame him as I would do the same but lets cut the crap about pressure. Most of the country is under far more pressure as they try and survive financially and not many of them have the choice to jack their jobs in to go elsewhere for 10x the wage."
"This is great news for everyone but Cardiff.

Slade gets a big job on enough money to sort him out for life. We get a new manager that's capable of taking us to the next level. My prediction - Slade will be sacked before Christmas.!"
"This has made my day, love how all the do-gooders got behind Slade and now he has thrown it in their faces to go to cardiff for the money but this is a good thing as now there are exciting times ahead for our club a new manager with big ambitions
Up the O's"
"Sad day in my opinion, our best manager for many a year. Am sure that the new owner is responsible for him going, he was clearly put in an impossible position and has been turned by Cardiff approach. That said Tan is clearly bonkers and I wish Russ better than him."
"Could have been handled better by all concerned, hopefully those concerned will agree on that at least and be more tactful in future.Somehow I think Mr Becchetti is about to make a more astute appointment than Tan has just done. No promotions and no cups in quarter of a century of management is hardly heartwarming news for their supporters."
"We were battling against relegation every season before Slade. 3 top 7 finishes in 5 years for club such as ours is a fantastic record. Bechetti probably wouldn't have even heard of us without Slade's work. Some people are chuffing idiots."
"Thanks for the good times Russ.xSad day for Orient. Always felt that with Russ at the helm anything was possible. He was Orient to me. He was good with the fans."
"Absolutely Devastated by this news, I can only wish him the very best of Luck at Cardiff, if that's where he's going.
He's been the best Manager we have had here for many years, and worked wonders with a fairly low budget.
He will always be very welcome back at Brisbane Road."
"Good luck Russell, thanks for the last 4 and a half years, you've been a great manager for Leyton Orient.
Given recent circumstances, this is the best way forwards for all parties."
"Probably the best manager we've ever had . Transformed this club from a team fighting relegation to a successful team. It was obvious as soon as Mauro Milanese was appointed Russell was unhappy . He had complete control over team matters under Hearn and that changed ."
"It's a sad day for me ...... and some of the nasty stuff said about Russell on here is awful .What scares me is there are some terrible managers about and one of them might end up here .The futures scary"
Forever Blue ask Orient Fans: is Slade a yes man? ? No, No , Far from it -- replies the O's.
