Staggered that people want Slade to stay on

While Slade seems a decent and honest bloke I am amazed that people believe he has the skills and management capabilities to take us up next season or get us playing attractive and competitive football

His signings have been woeful, the football awful and his decisions dubious.

While I agree he has been working under difficult circumstances and should be given some credit for stabalising the club.... his job is done and now should move on or be moved on.

Do people really trust him to make the quality signings we need to make the top 2 or 6 next season? Are fans really happy about continuing with pretty mundane football? Are fans happy for the decent youth players coming through to be constantly ignored and not given any chance of appearing for the first team?

Alex Revell was a Slade signing. You really want another Revell in the summer?

Maybe fans respect him enough to want to give him another season but another season where the youngsters are neglected and sidelined?

Not for me. His overlooking of the youngsters has been the biggest disappointment and another season of that pushes our youngsters further behind. Even if we 'crept' up through the play-offs, I just don't think he is doing our youth system any good.

I'd rather have a few years in the Championship developing our youngsters and playing attractive football than another season of Slade.

Thanks Russel but there is no room in the game for sentiment, off you go.

Its called building something

Ravell was shit no argument but Slade didn't have £millions to spend like MM & OGS. He brought in a £100,000 striker for £100,000 rather than MM did with Andreas Cornelius who paid £7.4m for a £100,000 striker.

RS is responsible for the Lex, Peltier and O'Keefe signings so he has got form for getting it right without spending a fortune. We could have utilised the development squad this season but for good reasons which we are not party to it was decided not to. If we don't promote some of those talented youngsters next season I would be personally disappointed.

RS has done a good job under difficult circumstances and will finish only 1 place behind where MM did in his first full season in 2012. Progression has been made and it would be reckless to rip that up now and start again.

Can we stick to foreign signings are club signings please Tony It gets confusing these days who signed who

Don't rate him at all, certainly done much better than I thought but my expectations were extremely low.

Would be happy to see him go

The guy has worked miracles, talking about working with his hands tied behind his back.

Yes sometimes tactically he comes up in some people's eyes short, but ask any fan of any team and there will always be a percentage not happy with the Manager.

Worth remembering days of paying Malky Ole stupid wages are gone, Slade works for a fraction that this pair did and value for money he is probably as good as anybody else that's out there.

So be careful what you wish for because during the 45 years of following the club I have seen some right howlers at the helm.

Everyone is making very valid points but hand on heart do you really see Slade delivering quality football, getting the best out of the youngsters and competing in the transfer market?

I really can't see what Slade is building when the foundation of any team building has to be the youth team which Slade constantly ignores.

There have been numerous opportunities to Slade to give bench time and game time to the youngsters. He hasn't.

I'm not asking for instant success or to start throwing money around buy what Salde doesn't seem to realise is the plethora of talent among the youngsters.

Speak to a number of agents and there is no way that they would recommend youth players to sign for us. As one ex professional footballer come agent said to me "it's (cardiff) the deathbed of ambition for youth players"

Now I think malky and ole had the same aversion to youth players but surely in a more austerity driven era youth, more than ever, has to be the focus for us.

Dave Jones had next to nothing and had to rely on loan signings or signing players on the cheap (chopra, mckormack, super kev etc) he also inherited a squad that only just avoided relegation to league one and within 2 seasons he had us playing attractive football and competitive in the playoffs year after year and a cup final,
Now Slade inherited a squad just relegated from the Premiership and alot of the players were there when we won the championship and Slade hasn't got us playing consistently well, we've played ok the odd half or so, the football has improved from what he first had us playing (which was dire) but it's still not great, his signings are terrible Revell, Doyle, Saadi (sick note) etc when you compare what Dave Jones had to start with its clear who has the much better eye for players to sign on the cheap and turn into quality players (admittedly immers is a good signing but that's his only one)
I think Slade lacks the tactical knowledge to change a game he picks the wrong players. I don't trust him in the transfer market to get us a decent striker which we are so desperately lacking, so for me Slade needs to go at end of the season

You all seem to forget that Inmers ,Saddi and Zahore were Tan signings and nothing to do with Slade
This again proves that We need a new manager to take us forward
We also need to be giving the youngsters at least a place on the bench
Slade don't give any of them games just loans them out
I have never changed my mind about Slade and don't rate him at all
His level is a small 2nd division club
Whatever happens this season even if we get to the playoffs he needs to go
He will always hold us back as his tactical awareness is almost zero
Tan should say
Thank you Russell but we want to progress and our youngsters aswell but your not capable of doing it bye bye
N

I think he done well under the circumstances but i think its time to move on I honestly think he's taken us as far as he can

Give him another season and see what happens.

Malky also bought Joe Mason for £300, and he was sold for 3,5 million, in fact if you look at most of Malky's signings you will find they were sold on for a profit, where are most of Slades signings ? I don't want to slag him off as he has done a decent job recently so good luck to him, but for me i would like to see a new manager in place for next season PS Cornelius is not worth £100

Give him another season and see what happens.

nothing, thats what happens 8th ~ 11th again

Give him another season and see what happens.

Can tell you what will happen we won't make the play-offs with slade in charge next season why waste a season to find that out

Get rid!! Excuses excuses excuses.
Where would we be in the table if Immers was not brought in???

Bring in Warnock!!

Give him another season and see what happens.

With a good striker I think we will proper challenge.

If you read your response back you will see that even you admit there has been progression this season. We are on course to finish 7th which would be an improvement on last seasons 11th. Odd that you claim Lex is the only decent Slade signing after the fuss you kicked up about O'Keefe not being picked at Fulham?

Give him another season and see what happens.

And you trust Slade to buy one and get the best out of then?

That's a risk which runs with every manager.

Slade is not alone when it comes to being suspect in the transfer market. OGS Le Fondre, MM Cornelius, DJ Eddie Johnson Lenny Lawrence Andy Campbell.

Slade has made suspect signings in Ravell and Doyle but the more recent ones Lex and Lawrence are showing signs of improvement. When we add Peltier and O'Keefe it improves again and hopefully Deji Oshilaja will soon make a breakthrough to the first team.

The simple fact is we need a decent striker so someone has to go out and attempt to recruit one.

I am no Slade fan and of course its hit or miss when dealing with transfers, but none of the strikers Slade has bought have pace. Doyle moved around a lot,but couldn't burn you and Revell would run all day but at a medium pace,Zahore is another plodder and Saadi has played 10 mins all season.

Pace kills.....The defenders are too good in the championship to be worried by long stright ball down the middle. Morrison, Manga and even Connolly can deal with them all day. I can't recall one game when a big man dominated our centre halfs and in Connolly and Manga we don't have the most physical ones.

Movement and pace is todays game, but Slade is from a different generation.

Russel Slade's record at Cardiff

Last season P35 PTS 49 AV 1.4 per game

This Season P42 PTS 64 AV 1.52 per game

Africanbluebird talking a lot of sense to me. Agree with all of it
