Has the penny finally dropped and will Tan accept what he's being told? "Last night’s embarrassing 1-0 reverse in the Welsh capital has been described as the ‘last straw’ by a club source and a recommendation has been made to owner Vincent Tan to sack Slade immediately." http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/russell-slade-brink-cardiff-city-10716973
Time will tell. It is WoL after all. Hope they're right for once. Sooner the better but VT will probably run down the contract to the season end to save paying compo.
Bluey - that would be a very bad business decision on Tan's part. I doubt Slade is on a high salary and his contract is up in the summer. The long term benefits could vastly outweigh the short term pain. The big big question is who at the club would be capable of selecting the right guy to replace Slade?
It's really strange because I'm in no doubt whatsoever we have to change manager. It's very important we get it right though or we could easily end up battling to stay in the division this season. As Sparks says we'll need to get this appointment right and is anyone capable of making that decision? I think the club needs a name to inspire the fans, someone with the PR skills of MM to get the fans back on side. Pearson would be top of my list, I think he'd install a bit of belief and he assembled a brilliant squad at Leicester on a decent but reasonable budget.
Do you know what, I've had 10 minutes to think about it and I just want him gone. I'll take my chances with whatever happens next
Trouble is VT's been bitten twice with over spending and is likely to be cautious again with his next choice. To answer your question- the fans!!!! If we had a vote I think Pearson would be our choice. Anyone know how to set up Survey Monkey?
We also have to comply with financial fair play. There will also be a reduction in parachute payments. IF the new manager will have decent backing then as much as anything to get a feeling of positivity around the club id appoint Bellamy. Slade needs to be sacked before any more damage is done to the club. If we are really going to do this with player sales and bargain players then we will have to look at maybe Appleton or Ardley and open it up for interviews. Not starting with Kennedy , John and Oshilaja last night was criminal and then moving Kennedy to f*****g right back says it all about Slade. SLADE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bellamy really? He needs to prove his coaching ability somewhere before the Championship imo. If he'd take the job on an interim basis until the summer it might be worth a punt but it would be a MASSIVE gamble giving him the job full time. It could see us end up in L1 as easily as the PL.
If Slade is sacked I assume Trollop would be placed in charge until the end of the season. That is how I read that article. If the fall out from last Sunday's debacle does result in the sacking of Slade, then it was worth it The article about Slade in today's WM suggest, does it not, that therw won't be any transfers coming in this month and that the club has basically written off this season....not going to be relegated and they'll look at the situation afresh next pre season. If so what a waste of a season.
