The Bluebirds have reportedly identified Page as the man who could fill the vacancy left by Slade moving upstairs at the club.

Cardiff City want former Bluebird and Wales international Rob Page to succeed Russell Slade, according to reports.

Page, 41, has been in charge of Port Vale since September 2014 after initially assisting Micky Adams. The Valiants are 12th in League One ahead of this afternoon's final game against Walsall but have been in play-off contention for much of the campaign and are just six points off the top six.

The Bluebirds have identified Page as the man who could fill the vacancy left by Slade moving upstairs at the club, according to The Sun .

He knows the club having played at Ninian Park during a brief spell in the Championship under Lennie Lawrence where he made nine appearances before moving to Coventry City in February 2005.

It was revealed Slade would be taking up a new role as Head of Football on Friday and he took charge of his final Cardiff game against Birmingham on Saturday.

Speaking afterwards, Bluebirds CEO Ken Choo said that the play-offs had been the minimum aim this season and that a shortlist of managerial candidates had already been drawn up.

"We are starting selection now. We are reviewing candidates. Maybe it will take a couple of weeks; we do have a shortlist," Choo said.

"There’s a shortlist but we are open to offers from others still, the nationality is not important as long as we get the right man."

"This squad cost £28 million to assemble. Vincent's position is clear, any lower than the play-offs is a failure."

Who knows the real truth ?

This would'nt surprise me and I think is the sort of manager most likely to be appointed. I know fans on this forum have come out (as usual) with a load of big names, but I think our cost cutting is nowhere near over yet, and the wage bill will continue to be cut, and that includes any new manager. I just can't see many of the names mentioned so far coming here, we can't afford them.

£28m? Just a tad over valued i think

Who knows the real truth ?

Now that I agree with but positivity for next season already here, slade moved up, just shame its not out. Now the backroom coaches need outing, then about 15 players and that sets us up nicely for a fresh start!

please no, need to show a little bit of ambition

Rather keep slade

Rather keep slade

If you judge this guy by what he's done then by the fans reckoning he comes up as short as Slade when he took over.

£28 million????? Where??? Who???
That shower of shite are worth about £15 million tops. And thats valuing Marshall at £5m and Manga at £4m.
And Page??? What's he done?? Slade had way more experience at managing and he was inept.
We need some excitement and glamour.....some inspiration ffs!!!!
What are our players going to think with Slade still there and Page barking orders at them?
What about Zola, Sherwood, even Ian Holloway??

Choo said the squad cost £28m to assemble, not what they are worth.

He may also be including money spent on Le Fondre, Doyle and Velikonja for all we know.

Would love Holloway but can't see it happening.

has the club learnt nothing over the last two yrs,this is a job for a experienced winner not another gamble on a lower league manager

In a word ... Uninspiring.

I would like to see Clement. Heard earlier we have been linked with Pep Clotet, he was linked with the forest job and is highly thought of.

Stopped reading when it said 'as reported by the sun'

Wouldn't be surprised.

Worth saying that Port Vale are currently 5-0 down at home to Walsall.

His mind must be elsewhere.

He's come out and said that there is no truth in the rumours.
