    Can I suggest we ignore @colin1961 he is a wind-up merchant. He didnt like CP, doesnt like JJ and is more than likely crapping himself that JJ with LL could be the way RD/KM decides to go.
    If you ignore him maybe one day he'll get bored and go away!!

    Its a shame because occasional he'll come out with a proper comment that you'll agree with.

    e.g. When asked who he'd like in charge he mentioned Derek Adams from Plymouth... So he has the potential to be sensible!!
    @ForeverAddickted yep he very occasionally says something sensible, but it is that rare that I could count them on one hand with 3 fingers missing!!! All his other BS just winds people up. After-all he has been banging on for months about Wilmotts (excuse the spelling) being the next manager. Just to wind him up....I'd go for CP with JJ as assistant and LL as DoF!!!
    Your managerial lineup could be successful, but under our current ownership you might as well go for a combination of Pep Guardiola, Prince William as assistant and Elton John as DoF... that's no less likely than CP coming back

    Where is it? Based on Skybet he isn't the favourite anywhere so a tidy sum to be made here!

    Wasn't he on Bolton's short list? Or am I imagining it?

    Unless he's going to be Pearson's No.2 at Derby.

    What would happen to poor Alex Dyer?

    Was just thinking, surely by now so close to the announcement there would be no doubt if it was Slade? No comment from Cardiff who would obviously have a say. Could it possibly be JJ?

    Slade is now 1/3 on Sky Bet

    Doubt there's any chance of Brian McDermott coming in?
    He did work with Steve Head for a year at Reading though...

    Not that it matters, but Cardiff finished 8th, not 7th...

    Slade took a little club to the brink of promotion and then took Cardiff to just of the playoffs ..... if we finished just out side the play offs this season would people be moaning ........??

    Yes, because we would still have a couple of liars ruining the club.

    Warnock is available, but we might go for Slade, and you expect happiness? We are settling for second best at a fairly meagre restaurant, and now there are people here saying we are never happy. We just got relegated - after a couple of near misses. We have been turned down by the managers of Rochdale and Northampton, we are now being offered the mediocrities and non entities that our position next season fully entitles us to, and I read here that 'some people can't stop moaning'.
    Well whoop-de-doo! We are playing in league 1 next year, we can expect to lose any of our players who looked half decent last season, and a month after Riga shipped out, we still haven't got ourselves together enough to appoint a successor, but if we do , the names being bandied about are micro personalities. That's without moving beyond the here and now, and looking into the shambles we have been for two and a half years. Yes @cafc_harry , I'm going to moan, and until I see some real changes, starting at the top, it will be quite hard to make me forget the likes of Karel Fraeye, Colchester away, Preston home and the stewarding at the Burnley home game.
    You seem easily pleased. I'm not.

    Warnock wanted a mill pound to stay at Rotherham ....plus you want someone who going to give you 2-3 years
    Like Powell did. Managers will give you 2-3 years if they're not sacked after 2-3 months like this lot have been doing. Warnock is worth the money compared to what we'll lose.
    Powell was lucky to stay as long as he did given our league position and the way we were playing anyone else would have gone way earlier
    Yes, anyone else would have walked away, because of 1) the chronic lack of investment by the previous regime after promotion (in spite of which Powell led the team to ninth in the Championship, still our highest finish since 2007) and 2) the ignorant interference of Duchatelet in team matters.
    Strange that the only time he got told to play certain players was under TJ and Slater and the player Obika
    And how would you know any of this?
    He doesn't .

    The talk of Slade or Adkins (or even Jacko) had got me slightly optimistic that things might change. Then, when I read that lunatic old fool's comments from the St Truiden press conference about foreign ownership, and how he will use his experience to be involved with transfers, I realise that actually he's worse than ever. In the words of Congressman Clay Davis from the Wire, "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit"

    I think he will go to Dagenham as Slade's assistant.

    Not forgetting Elliot Omozusi.

    Some of the moaning on here is pathetic. Want a British manager and go on about it for 2 years, (possibly) get Slade whose just taken a fairly average Cardiff side to 7th in the championship and people still moan. Yet want Billy Davies who literally lost his mind or Adkins who finished 11th in league 1. Honestly I'd be fine with either Slade or Adkins, only real step up from them two would be Warnock and that's not going to happen.

    I think we have good reason to moan. We're being mugged off every week it seems. Russell Slade - probably only going to get him because he's the only mug willing to work at the club. A half decent owner would have got Wilder. Not us though.

    I just hope that we are not waiting for the Evans/Leeds situation to be resolved as I really don't want him at our Club. Amusing though that another Manager has turned them down whilst he is still in situ.

    Evans is 40/1 with Sky & not listed with BetVictor, so I don't think he's in the running.

    It's looking like Slade/Jackson with Adkins next. But Adkins is favourite for Bolton.

    I would be happy with slade over wilder. He has managed at a higher level. Then again, 2 years ago I was happy that rich Roland was our saviour so what do I know!

    No they would not , we done all we could and as far as we knew was our man till Sheff Utd come calling ? Even through they still had a manager , he lived in Sheffield family in Sheffield and kids settled in school in Sheffield ... You work it out ??

    FFS Colin, the season is over, there's no chance that Slade can save us from relegation.

    they will announce it about 7pm tonight when they know most of us will have switched off from CAFC until Tuesday as they will foist O'Loughlin, Nobby or Benni upon us and think they can get away with it.

    I don't need to work it out. By the way you can't claim all that as a scoop!
