why sack ole?

Sat Jan 17, 2015 3:51 pm

For this???

Ole had a better point to game ratio than slade!

This is ridiculous!!

Slade is way out of his depth.

That's two clueless managers in a row.

We all though the right man would come in, never has.

Slade's first games also you could argue we were still playing in some way with Ole's way of thinking, mentality. Once Slade put his full stamp on this team its gone from bad to worse. Nothing was brilliant under Ole either but I had more hope in the bloke than i do Slade.

Because we were failing costing a fortune

Now we are failing costing less......

We won the blue battle, but need to accept what is happening.

Ole got sacked because the results showed we were a mid table team.

I have followed Ole`s career for a long time but i did not get excited about his appointment here. I knew Tan and most fans didn`t have the patience for it.

The way Ole wants a club to work and a team to play takes time. When he took over Molde he made it clear that he needed time to make the changes. He needed atleast 2 transfer windows just to settle the team and find the players needed for his system. THEN he could start the job of getting everything to settle.

One thing that is a fact is that Molde gave him time to make mistakes, didn`t sack him after 6 losses in a row and bottom of the table. Instead they kept building on the foundation Ole wanted and now 4 seasons later they are the leading club in Norway in all aspects. They get the best talents, they play the best football and they can sell players for big money and hand pick players to fit into the system.

Ole career in Cardiff will not be remembered as good times by the fans, but if we had shown patience like Molde did i believe we would been a club who could go up next season and stabilize ourselfes in PL rather than going down again.

Agree with every word. Ole´s way of thinking football is the future.

Tinkering a bit is good, I´m convinced. If the players he brought in was the right ones, I doubt (some, of course). I didn´t say he was the perfect manager, he´s still young an learning. But I believe in his philosophy.

Ole was f*cking useless but he was managing for the most part in the Premier League against strong teams.

Slade is proving himself f*cking useless against average and limited teams in the Championship.

Both unfortunately are and were nowhere near up to the task.

Good read :thumbright: Pointless replacement in Slade.

Re: why sack ole?

Under Ole we at least had a chance to progress and play a decent brand of football. Yes we were stagnant at the moment and probably would have done for a few seasons but once it clicked we'd have done well and played teams off the park.

Ole was a gamble appointment at the time.

Re: why sack ole?

Mon Jan 19, 2015 8:45 pm

Ole didnt have a clue
Slade has to clear out all his shit lazy b*stard signings before he can get his own choices in.
You may notice that this happens at just about every other aspiring football club.
Give slade a chance to get rid of more of ole's shit before condemning the guy

I´m not sure if Fabio, Morrison, Adeyemi, Le Fondre and Pilkington deserve to be called lazy b@stards. Neither are they the worst players in the squad. Then you can add Eikrem, Dæhli, Burgstaller, Dikgacoi. Not sure they are the laziest ones either. Jones and Macheda? Alright, there you might have a point, although Jones is our top scorer. Let´s see if the players he´s bringing in are the ones to turn things around. For me, a most open question.

I thought it was time for ole to go but looking back it was a huge mistake but I thought we would bring in a manager to replace him.
Slade is a disgrace.

It wasn't a mistake. Solksjaer spent over £20 million on players and half of them aren't even at the club any more. He was completely hopeless, his constant tinkering was a joke and we'd still be in red with him.

You are mistaken. He sold for 28 I think, and bought for 16. Then you have Fabio, Macheda and Guerra who signed on a free transfer. At a normal club that would be increasing assets.

He's paid around 9m for 2 centre backs, and 2m each for Eikrem, Berget and Daehli. Around £1m (each) for Cala, Pilkington, Adeyemi and Berget, he's paid money for Fabio. Edit, I completely forgot he spent £2.5m on Le Fondre. I'm quoting Wales Online's figures but that's over £25m.

We've had to pay up 3 players contracts, 2 of which had the same agent as Ole, as they were so out of their depth even at championship level that Ole didn't want them. Fishy? Possibly but I'd hope OGS was just incompetent.

He completely wasted at least £10m and his tactical knowledge was non-existent. We'd go from back 4s to back 5s, players would be out of the squad, then starting the next. It was nonsensical. I'm glad he's gone, he is one of the worst managers we've ever had.

Your figures are wrong there mate. To be fair your only of 500k on the centerbacks. Morrison fee was ridicules. Le Fondre was 2,7, and equally ridicules. If you remember the QA night with the fans, Ole said the Norwegians was a total below 3 million. Pilks, Adeyemi was one million, true. Cala was one million in compensation and Fabio was a free signing. I was thinking of the spending in the summer. Ole had his flaws, but we were never as shit as under Slade.

Re: why sack ole?

Tue Jan 20, 2015 3:25 pm

To be honest Ole and Slade are in the same mould (no not Molde). Both incompetent. But then good managers have never been conspicuous at Cardiff City. We haven't had any since Jimmy Scoular. Apart from Marshall and Manga I cant think of any of our current dross which would have got into a Scoular side.

Tue Jan 20, 2015 3:43 pm

everyone wanted ole gone,after the boro home game we was fukin shit and everyone wanted ole gone and that was cos everyone was talking about possibly bringing in pulis and that excited ppl cos they knew he could make us hard to beat and still get us winning games with a little flair at times,unfortunatly we ended up going for slade and this was the beginning of the cash saving exercise and this will continue for the rest the time under tan
