Are our fans softening towards Tan and Slade?

Sat May 02, 2015 7:21 am

Just an observation
But are our fans at last softening towards Vincent Tan and Russell Slade ?
Recent local media criticism towards the running of our club ,has been generally disliked ,and fans see it as another unjustified bit of bad journalism ,and if anything has given fans a reason to show some support for both Tan and Slade.

Abbodanatto and the rest of the echo writers take note :sladein: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Steve, I am not a Slade fan,but I believe in people's honest opinions and not a pack of Wolves who have decided they will now hound Slade out,no matter what, unfair in my eyes.

On Tan, by me Never as he has done to much damage in my opinion.

Steve, some fans were unhappy by the 'worst season on the pitch' written in the media.

Vincent Tan has done many good things for the club but has an awful long way to go before we fans start 'softening'.

Debt to equity is the biggest failure for me by Tan and until then I will remain a cynic.

Probably have softened a bit as we haven't lost yet this month.

Slade will always remain totally unsuitable for such a big job and he needs to go now,as for Tan,I remain agnostic about him

I don't think we are softening. I think it's more worrying than that.

I think people area totally fed up, bored and sick to death of the antics at the club. It's just one thing after another and there is no sign of it ending.

I agree with this, it's more a case of real apathy, some fans don't even care enough anymore to bother to protest, they're just walking away or deciding to pick and chose games in the future. Tan disconnected a lot of the loyal fan base with his antics , then he lost the newcomers once we were relegated and started to struggle in the championship and now Slade's brand of football is testing the patience of the remainder to the very limit.

Really the vocal protests in the ground against Slade have been very muted, it's as if the fans don't really care anymore and as you say there doesn't appear to be much positivity coming from the club to make us thing it's going to get any better in the immediate future

I don't listen to the echo, a load of rubbish.

No problem with Tan.

Don't support slade at all.

More like resigned to the fact that Slade is here to stay for the forseeable and given his age I think it will be his last job as a football manager.Obviously seen in the industry as a trouble shooter thats why Tan hired him.I think the on-field results are secondary as long as he stops the rot and reduces the wage biil.Not unlike the job DJ had to do when he first arrived.

Agree with Carl on this one! :thumbup:

Tan has done much good, but sadly some vociferous individuals cannot separate fact from fantasy nor look beyond their own prejudices!

Still 'Slade Out' for me, although I have nothing against him as an individual. I simply don't believe he has the nous to get us anywhere near promotion and I am one of the (apparent) few that actually loved being up in the Premier League!

I agree....I just want this season over...It is for me already. I guess there are about 14 weeks until the new season and a i want to blank out Cardiff City. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I hope that's true.

Agnostic about him? I know some on here think more of him than others but I don't think anyone sees him as the second coming.
