' BREAKING NEWS : VINCENT TAN '

Four candidates have been interviewed for the position of Cardiff City manager.

All four have been told that Vincent Tan wants to see more youngsters brought through the system and given the opportunity in the first team.

Tan wants to see young talented players making the step up to the first team squad and wants players like Declan John and Tommy O'Sullivan given more chances at City.

The owner wants to see more emphasis on Welsh talent in the City line up.

Some may consider this as cost cutting but I personally see this as a good thing going forward and would love to see our youngsters given more opportunities to play at this level.

In my opinion this is long overdue,and needs to be put on the urgent list straight away

cost cutting or not, it's a great plan.


the last time we had no money and played our youth, Ledley, Ramsey, Gunter and Mathews came through.

Well excited for next season already.

Not often I agree with Tan, but I will here.

Any idea on the three (excluding Trollope as hes certainly one) and more importantly is there signs of ambition from Tan?

who is the 4

Fantastic if it occurs and hats off to Vincent Tan, if he (and the new Coach) can make a success of it

Simply has to work though and that will be the yardstick used by a lot of already frustrated City supporters, which is why I'd like to see a fresh face come in

Patience will be more of a virtue if we are to play more youngsters but it is welcomed news .

Agree this is very good news but it is not something that will delivery quick results. I just hope the board and the fans have the patience to see it through

Declan john isnt up to the level required

A debate in itself (I think he's okay at Championship level) but there are several others in there who deserve a chance at least now and then

One of Slade's biggest failings was his inability to give youth a chance

I agree if he is used as a traditional flat back four full back. But, if we play with a genuine DM and we play "wing backs" then i believe he is.

wheres the breaking news ????
thought u has heard who the 4 are then

Needs to sort the academy out then. It's going backwards at a rate of knots. The mcarthy father and son need to go!

Welsh youngsters ?! Provided they're quality- for once Tan , I agree with you !#spew

For this reason I can't understand why Bellamy (according to carl)isn't in the running or even been interviewed. ..wasn't he working with our u18s.... ?

Look every owner of every club would like to bring on players from their own academy,it would save them millions.the stumbling block is if they are not good enough performances and results will soon dictate and our crowd are a little impatient to say the least!
Right idea tho.

Oshilaji is def ready to step up! He's been outstanding at each club he's gone on loan too! Would be nice to see him develop with Bruno, but it does look like Bruno will be leaving! Dec John is by far better than Malone! Then again my nan is also better than Malone and she died in the 90's!

We kind of knew more cost cutting would happen really if it gets tan gone sooner rather than later then so be it imo but we have been calling out for this for a few seasons, if we cost cutting do it not some half hearted signing players one minute trick then sticking youngsters in the stands as I don't see any point in that as it costs more money

We need better youngsters then.

Thats what we like to see Tan f*cking brill

Let's be honest here ... if the target for next season is a top 6 finish then u won't achieve that by putting academy or u21 boys in the first team .. I think there maybe more opportunities for the youngsters but that maybe the extent of it not whole sale changes .

Until we are in a relegation battle

Tim Sherwood could well fit the bill here

Here's to hoping lol

Well, Tan appointed Slade and got it wrong, so I'm not optimistic. If he knew something about football it might help.

Did Tan get that appointment (quote) "wrong"??

I think most are now in agreement that Slade did a decent job in difficult circumstances, had Tan to contend with, oversaw a culling of the high earners in the squad and narrowly failed to get us to the play-offs

Hardly a failure; turned out to be a steady hand but just not the man to take us forward further

Brilliant as long as we can stay in the English pyramid we may have enough come through to get us back up the 1st division by 2040 !!!!

Dead easy this football lark, don't pay to sign players just use our own local talent, I wonder why all of our other managers have played out youngsters ??? maybe because most have struggled on loan at lower levels ???

If we were planning for ten years ahead, I could see some sense in it !!!

Heard on the grapevine in jacksville that Bristol city sniffing around Lloyd humphries. If this is true we need to stamp this out as he is definately one for the future.

Probably wouldn't tag city players in messages like this Annis only because some people don't rate John and could slate him etc not nice to read
