That's one of the worst articles I've ever read. "Coming from Leyton Orient where reports suggested he was on the brink of the sack", yeah I bet they were about to sack him after they'd finished third in L1 and winning manager of the year for their division and only losing on penalties in the play off final. Stopped reading after that point.

The guy has been League one Manager of the Year twice. He knows what he is doing. Let's get behind him.

Just read Slade's wiki page and, if it's numbers are correct, Friday will be his 800th game as a manager (that includes a couple of caretaker spells at t'Blades)

Yep on brink of being sacked for Orient for poor start to season (2 wins in 10 games before he jumped ship):

Well he took them to 8th place, rather better than their miserable showing this season.


I watch Cardiff most weeks, they haven't been miserable at all. They've been pretty good to be fair.
My better half her family are all Cardiff fans and they were nothing but complimentary about the bloke.

That was with Bechetti in charge so probably a good move by Slade. And whilst 2 wins in the first 10 games is not good, we've probably had starts nearly as bad and got promoted. 97-98 and 2015-16 spring to mind as seasons with poor starts.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Either been sacked or jumped ship before getting sacked at previous clubs. The Cardiff fans wanted Tony Pulis before Slade was appointed-absolutely wrecked their attendance figures-only resemblance to Pulis was his stupid cap. How many of his previous clubs would welcome him back. Admittedly very experienced manager--at leaving clubs in the shite.

He was on the verge of the sack after being given an ultimatum so I think he walked before he was axed. Wish you all the best I have nothing but respect for RS

Slade left us but since has always managed above this level, is only out of work for very short periods, unexpected play offs for unfashionable clubs, a wealth of experience contacts and knowledge YET many are critical that a lower half league 2 club in a geographical backwater cannot do better.

I cannot think of any other manager in League 2 who has finished in the top 8 of The Championship, or better, recently?


Slade and the board have my full support on this one simply because he is the man in charge. If he cocks up I will be critical but right now, bring it on. I was dreading next season, now I am positively optimistic.

I think you make a very good point mate, as you often do.

Maybe if he'd not wasted his time managing clubs in the top half of the championship he might have been able to boast of a L2 promotion on his record, and that would improve his credentials no end.

Russell Slade or Russell Wilcox.........let me think..........
