' RUSSELL SLADE IS RECEIVING ABUSE '


Russell Slade is being continually abused during games by supporters from behind the dug outs at Cardiff City Stadium.

I am not saying that the manager, or any manager for that matter, is beyond criticism but does hearing ' f**k Off Slade ', ' You don't know what you're doing ' and ' You're f*cking useless ' do any favours at all to the manager when he is trying to win a football match ?

If we were getting beat, or losing heavily, then maybe you can understand, though not agree, with fans frustrations but when this was happening on Saturday just gone I really can't get my head around it.

The ironic thing is that our stewards are criticised, and rightly so in many situations, for the way they act towards our fans for menial things like looking at away supporters or God forbid they may stand up during the game but fans can abuse the manager in close proximity of his position and nothing seems to be done.

I wonder what would happen if a fan shouted such vitriol at Vincent Tan or board members sat in the directors box, I think I know the answer but why isn't the manager afforded the same treatment ?

As I say, no manager, owner or player is beyond criticism in my eyes but some of the treatment and abuse Slade gets is ridiculous in my opinion.

Because he is an easy target .
Instead of coming up with constructive critisism they pick on the easy target .
Although i dont agree with a lot of his decisions i didn't agree with a lot of stuff previous managers did .
I dont agree with the guy who sits in front of me, behind me and besides me most of the time
But hey thats football !

I believe you are right with the easy target view.

Abuse is out of order. Problem is he is out of his depth but doesn't excuse fan abuse.

I am not a Slade fan at all, But 100% Russell Slade does not deserve verbal abuse, out of order.
Secondly remember Slade is only managing to the best of his ability.

That's a bit naughty. I'm not a fan of him but he's a nice guy.
Shouldn't be getting abuse like that.
Our fans have been very poor recent years. From abuse to players to staff.

He doesn't deserve abuse when the real culprit is Tan.

Re: ' RUSSELL SLADE IS RECEIVING ABUSE '

He doesnt deserve that kind of abuse.

If he leaves its win win! :sladeout: :D

I feel a Cantona moment might just be round the corner, I'd probably idolise him if he did that tho :sladeout:

Apparently telling fans to sit down is the top priority for a steward :lol:

You may joke but I saw him in Asia down the bay just before Christmas. His wife and daughter were giving him a hard time.

Would Tan like his manager kicking one of his customers though? :laughing6:

Disgusting and pathetic.
I wonder how good those abusers are at their own jobs.

Probably dominated by their wives at home so take it out on an easy target.

I seen someone with slade out bellers in sign on Saturday way to far not many people want him here but he doesn't deserve slade out signs

He shouldn't be getting this and I'm amazed its being allowed to happen just behind the dugout. I'm all for passion but this type of abuse to RS is just not on and I also find the booing of the team just as pathetic.

Aren't the seats immediately behind the dug out hospitality seats?

Giving out abuse when they know that Russel Slade can't respond is just plain cowardly.

You'd think you wouldn't get in from the Grandstand crowd but I've heard some right gobshites over there and you only need one or two who've got Dutch Courage trying to look big. And your right, its usually from the types who'd shit their pants if they were fronted up by those they were shouting at.

Re: ' RUSSELL SLADE IS RECEIVING ABUSE '

Mon Jan 04, 2016 10:47 pm

Ive screamed at Slade all the way from 116 and all he did was...fold his arms..!
We all know he has no clue, no tactics so he should at least sit down when shouted at.
