' No Meeting Today & Tan fully backs Russell Slade '

The Bluebirds owner is ready to back Slade in the January transfer window, with rumours of an emergency board meeting at the club today false


Under-fire Cardiff City manager Russell Slade still has the full support and backing of owner Vincent Tan, WalesOnline understands.

The Bluebirds boss saw his side make it five games on the bounce without a win as they slumped 4-2 to Watford in the Welsh capital on Sunday.

The defeat followed on from successive reverses against Bournemouth and Brentford as well as a Boxing Day draw against Charlton despite the Addicks being down to 10 men for much of the contest.

Slade's side have now shipped 13 goals in their last four matches.

However the Watford showing represented something of a new low and it led to some Cardiff fans taunting Slade with chants of: "You’re getting sacked in the morning!"

Following the woeful display Slade said he accepted the supporters’ views, but insisted he remained fully focused on the job in hand and still hoped to push Cardiff into the play-off places.

As I said as Tan said it was his decision to employ Slade there is no chance he will sack him.
It's all about pride

Slade hopes to push on into a play off place. Which season and what division will we be in if and when he achieves this.

As I said as Tan said it was his decision to employ Slade there is no chance he will sack him.
It's all about pride

Mike, Tan will keep his puppet Slade until we are a bottom 3 club.

If u sack Slade,Tan will only put another puppet in,its Tan who has to go,there lies the problem.

He will never sack Slade forget it this will be my last season until the circus has left.

As I said as Tan said it was his decision to employ Slade there is no chance he will sack him.
It's all about pride

Mike, Tan will keep his puppet Slade until we are a bottom 3 club.

He'll get his wish come 31st January, we are going to be in real problems by then.

Mind you, when Slade puts out the stiffs (I mean Tan orders the stiffs to be played to get them coverage to be sold) on Friday night, we'll know exactly who is the bitch!

I hope no one has bought a ticket and it sends out a clear message for live tv pictures to see.

Yeah it's also not the Mexicans it's the Golds!

To be fair, Wales Online / the Echo are f*cking clueless.

If Slade loses his next two league games then he is a goner. Don't be surprised to see a new director of football or number two appointed in time for the transfer window.

Unfortunately I think you're wrong. Tan will continue to back him.

Well that's the usual vote of confidence

If he has 100% given Slade his backing he should let Slade bring in experienced coaches, who understand this league. What we have currently is simply not acceptable, and they don't know what to do. This is shown on the pitch, the player are like headless chickens.

I hope I am right. I'd prefer him to be sacked immediately but you are right in doubting Tan's ability to make any single correct footballing decision.

I'm usually pretty positive when it comes to the team itself, but IF this news is correct, then it effectively sees our season turn into a battle against relegation rather than one of promotion

I don't 'blame' Slade totally, as I believe he is a good manager at a certain level. Sadly, that level is not the level where the real Cardiff City FC should be at right now and it doesn't help him that he has Scott Young rather than his preferred Kevin Nugent as his No.2

You need someone you can genuinely trust next to you in a battle and I'm not sure he has that right now

It is equally evident that the squad are being setup for one single formation for each game and to move away from that is nigh on impossible, even when (an alleged ) 22,000 other people in the stadium can see that the opposition have 'sussed' us out and worked a way around it!

I'm having a tough time personally at the moment and had hoped for a little solace when turning up at the CCS to watch my beloved Bluebirds

Sadly, thanks to an owner intent on not seeing the real picture, a manager who cannot manage at this level, a coach (Young) who has now removed any 'cult hero' status he may have had amongst older supporters, and a team that cannot keep their heads up when they go behind, watching Cardiff City FC at the moment is only adding to my grief and for the first time ever I am seriously becoming 'disinterested' in results in either direction (win or lose)

True to form though, I keep turning up and won't abandon the club I love, as I believe that sooner or later we will pull out of this malaise and move forward again

The most positive thing about Vincent Tan is that he has proven it can be done and all we need now is a true leader at the top, prepared to make decisions for the benefit of everyone involved with the club and that person will reap the benefits (or riches) that we now know are there to be had

Wez I did say 'strong rumour' and lets be honest the rumour was strong enough to have also been heard in the offices in MediaWales.

Oh dear.

I fear that pride is the main motive here and it comes before a fall. Tân will waste a war chest this window and get nothing in return. Revenue will drop further and bottom 3 is a reality by the end of February.

What a div!

Of course Tan will back Slade. He wants Slade around as a cheap puppet whilst he reduces the wage bill. Slade will have no real money to spend unless the clear out is complete and then he might have a few pennies to spend on a league 1 player. I now believe that Tan actually hates Cardiff City supporters, so until he sells up or we go into admin there is little or no hope. Please (I'm begging) please, don't go to the Colchester game as a show of protest. Desperate days indeed.

In fairness many teams play the stiffs in cup games.............

Dreaded vote of confidence.

Can someone point me in the direction of """quotes"""" from the club or Tan which proves this article is correct????

Wales on one understands!!!!

They should change their name to Wales Off-Line. Clueless.

There was never a meeting planned for today. They simply read this message board and saw that some of us had said there should be an emergency board meeting scheduled today at 8:00am. That's the source of their rumour.

Their content is gash but then again I would expect nothing less of an entity owned by Trinity Mirror and the herberts who work for them.

Not totally slades fault his backroom staff was chosen for him not good but he still took the job.

Vt personally choose him knowing nothing about football as we all no.

Vt will never admit hes wrong just like the rebrand.

Hes ruined are clubs identity now hes ruining the football side of things.

A club from the tea lady to the ceo to the players has to be run correctly all pulling to achieve the same goals.cardiff city has been run by one mans objectives which is totally different to everybody else.
The club is full of puppets all controlled by tan .the man hasn't listened or taken advise from people in the no he won't let anyone else have a say his puppets dont talk dalaman is now enept.

One man one person to blame Vincent Tan if we let him continue he will ruin us and I get a strange feeling thats what he wants .

We have to make a stand as fans because he cant control us even though hes tried.

agree

Need to change manager and backroom staff. Scott Young's body language is awful, he stands there with his hands in his pockets all game. When we were winning yesterday, he's in the managers area with Slade, when we were losing, he's standing way back about ten rows ! There were rumours flying around by us of Mexican investors. Any truth ?

To be fair, Wales Online / the Echo are f*cking clueless.

Unfortunately I think you're wrong. Tan will continue to back him.

Tan will back him up to the point where he sacks him. We all know that Tan has no loyalties to the club , the fans, the players or the manager. If it gets to the point where Slade is seen to be losing Tan money, either through the turnstiles or through the value of the club, then Tan will sack him.

Slade was brought in as the cheap option. If he doesn't work out then Tan sacks him with a very small pay-off. Slade is just a stop-gap whose contract will be terminated by the end of the season. He will then look for a better manager at the start of the summer. Personally I would bring in Pulis now as we will not find a better manager than him. Get rid of Young & Gabbidon too.

Said at start of season said we wouldbe in relegationbattle everyone laughed
