Former Cardiff City manager Russell Slade has been unveiled as the new manager of Hereford FC.

The 58-year-old manager's time at Cardiff City tends to divide opinions among Bluebirds supporters. Despite very nearly guiding Cardiff to the play-offs after 18 months of austerity-ridden times in the Welsh capital, Slade left his role in May 2016, leaving the club entirely a month later.


In a statement confirming the news on Thursday night, the National League North club said: "Russell arrives at Edgar Street with a wealth of management and coaching experience under his belt, including spells at Cardiff City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Charlton Athletic, Leyton Orient, Yeovil Town and Grimsby Town.

"Having agreed a deal to take charge at Edgar Street, Russell has been introduced to the Bulls’ playing squad at tonight’s training session, as the players continue their preparations for Saturday’s home game against Boston United.

"His last managerial stint was with Grimsby Town, who parted ways with the manager in 2018 after their winless stretch extended to 12 games in League Two.

I’ve always liked Russell. Definetely shouldn’t be on the same category of failure as Solkjaer and Trollope

He is a decent manager and probably too good for that level.

He did a good job here with the funds he had available and the players they sold really

No it's not crazy money but they have had to just lay off a manager and his backroom team, and are only a part time club. Considering they still have the same crowds they had before going bust it seems stupid to operate like this.

Silly money at that level. He wasn't on much more here! However hope he does well. He seemed a genuine bloke who took a lot of stick here and though not a fan of his, his record here was OK. Finished eighth in his only full season which ain't too bad.

I'm glad you agree. I'm not saying it would be a lot here but for a club which was relying on donations not so long back (and still occasionally asks for them) is a silly move. Its even more prominent with what just happened to bury
