Great news.... hopefully a switch to slades favoured 442 in January and use of a target man
ASAP.

matesx · Dec 21, 2016

At last a decent league one manager.

Fair play to him for coming to this basket case.

lifeskyblue · Dec 21, 2016

Good luck Russell slade! I hope you manage to keep us in league one. It's a difficult job but the fans are with you and the team if not the owners and chairman.

Stay up?! He better get us to the fucking play offs!

ccfchoi87 · Dec 21, 2016

Good appointment considering, I'm a little worried about his defensive style because inviting pressure on to us with this defence is a bad idea.

Agreed

steve82 · Dec 21, 2016

I feel quite upbeat about this appointment, it's the first time in ages that I feel we've got a man in that really understands the level we are at, budget he can seriously work with and should identify the players who will come and roll there sleeves up, be counted and work for each other and the fans.

CCFC88 · Dec 21, 2016

1st job, paint the bus orange!

matesx · Dec 21, 2016

.......but the fans are with you

well, about 8000 of us are

MusicDating · Dec 21, 2016

He does look a little bit like Thorn...

(just to wind Grendel up...)

italiahorse · Dec 21, 2016

Great news.
Move in the right direction.

better days · Dec 21, 2016

Interesting it's just till the end of the season
This continues the trend of short termism on most things recently
This could indicate that there are negotiations with a potential new owner
Or maybe not.....

covcity4life · Dec 21, 2016

Slade runner

stupot07 · Dec 21, 2016

Fantastic appointment, definitely the right calibre of candidate for the job

Welcome to CCFC Mr. Slade. Happy with the appointment although they've dragged their heels for far too long. He loves a club that is in disarray.... Cardiff to Charlton, to the worst of the bunch, CCFC. Best of luck Sir, the SBA are behind you!

The first Coventry manager since............? to have never played professional football.

Harry warren??

skyblueinBaku · Dec 21, 2016

It's a good appointment and gives us hope. It would be nice to think that he hasn't had the wool pulled over his eyes by TF. If he has any sense, he'll have already spoken to TM and JFH.

Monners · Dec 21, 2016

Good luck to the bloke. Gives us a bit of hope in avoiding the drop perhaps

SkyBlueSid · Dec 21, 2016

I reckon Slade is certainly as good as we could have hoped for, given the state of the club and the useless owners we have. I hope he can turn the club around. In reality he may be a decent L1 manager but he is not a magician and I fear that with the club's economic policies it is an impossible mission.

The arrival of a new face with the usual platitudes, scarf-waving and 'new era' promise is a well-trodden path for this club. Seriously, is there any reason to suppose this will be any different from the previous incumbents? Unless, of course, we get new owners and an injection of funds pretty quickly.

RB1992 · Dec 21, 2016

Good appointment, he done a fantastic job at Accrington and Bradford, hopefully he can repeat that with us!

Astute · Dec 21, 2016

Been shopping in Manchester since 8:30 this morning with the wife. This news has cheered me up

i dont think we are getting hysterical at this appointment.

We know where we are.

Im just relieved we got the best bloke for the job.

covcity4life · Dec 21, 2016

what style of footy does this messiah play then? i remember orient played some good stuff when he was there?

Harry Warren apparently played for Sheffield United/Notts Country/Blackpool.

I could be wrong here but Russell Slade the first CCFC manager to not play professional football since Bill Slade in 1931.

First couple of Google results aren't too promising:

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-citys-missing-fans-dont-10082697

Though frankly, as long as he gets results, I couldn't care less at the moment. We aren't building a club right now, we're fighting for survival.

skybluepm2 · Dec 21, 2016

Just noticed it's until the end of the season. Good to see the wankers thinking strategically with long term stability and continuity.

hill83 · Dec 21, 2016

Genuinely never heard of him before today. But feeling optimistic. 4-4 fackin 2 is it?

"Even though the Bluebirds leapt to second in the table"

yes please

They've done that in the past, remember the knee jerk appointment of Coleman on a 3 year contract? How much compensation has the club paid out for ending manager contracts early, thankfully Mowbray waived his.

Top of the table!

100% agree

winning football is beautiful football

Paul Anthony · Dec 21, 2016

I think it's a good choice. It's certainly got to be better than having Venus in charge, not that it could be much worse. He has vital experience of this level, which I think we're desperate for.
