Cardiff City boss Russell Slade expects club to return to blue imminently.
Slade believes the Blue is coming back and that it could act as the force that galvanises the Bluebirds this season.
Russell Slade fully expects his side to be back in their traditional blue shirts soon - and predicts the switch could happen as early as tomorrow's clash with Fulham.
Following a historic meeting between the club’s supporters and hierarchy at which opposition to the red home shirts introduced by owner Vincent Tan was expressed, the Malaysian billionaire is now be considering the change.
But Slade, whose side go in search of their first league win in five games against the Cottagers, believes the blue is coming back and that it could act as the force that galvanises the Bluebirds this season.
“It was an excellent meeting people said what they thought in an intelligent and eloquent way. It was in a passionate way too,” said Slade.
“It was a giant step forward for the club. I think the club will switch back and it would be nice if it is for the Fulham game. The board still have to confirm that. If that is the case it would be a wonderful opportunity for us all to express our gratitude to the club and the owner.
“If we can play against Fulham in blue I suspect it will be the best atmosphere at a game since I’ve been here and probably some of the players have felt for a long time.
“For me it is the right decision because if you are going to successful in any company or football club you need everyone pulling together as a unit. Only that way can you sustain success. You need unity that’s always been my take.
“We are looking for momentum and there’s no doubt that could give us it. It could lift a little weight off our shoulders.”

I personally feel that Slade has fronted this change with Tan as he can not do his job with divides among the club so well done Mr Slade, I hope you can now motivate your players
