    Look at all those clubs without managers now getting managers...how do they do it so quickly?

    Because they dont have a CEO called Latrine!!
    Maybe it's because the new corner flags are waiting to be placed after the pitch has been relaid?? Doing their best to disguise the announcment of Nobby by dazzling us with new flags, shiny new seats, the greenest pitch and corner flag. #suspenseiskillingme.

    Oh dear. When Cellino sees that he'll be sacked in a blink of an eye.

    If, big if, it is Slade and if, big if, he is on holiday why would you not fax/email him a contract to sign then announce that he has been appointed, starting Monday, at which point a press conference will be held (if any press are interested).

    However, the lack of any story in the SLP or Newshopper leads me to think it isn't him at all and they are still no nearer to an appointment.

    Does anyone use fax these days ?

    Can you sign an email ?

    Which is why we'll get a manager eventually even if we have to wait until the other clubs have had their pick.

    Would imagine he as accepted the post before he went away, and as already sorted out his backroom staff and even spoke to one or two players while he as been away so when he returns next they can get stuck into the job ......

    'imagine' so basically you havn't got a clue - I doubt it's even Slade
    The only Slade we get will be the band.

    I'd prefer Slayer

    My top three:-

    1. Nathan Jones
    2. Herman Hreidarsson
    3. Mark Bowen (massive paycut, unfairly ditched by Curbs so probably no empathy with us otherwise top choice)

    Bowen was about 36 when he left ?

  • My other half has been friends with Nathan Jones since his playing days at Southend. He loves CAFC but will not be back whilst these mugs are running the club.

    You sign the contract and scan it back via email.

    Bowen was replaced by someone who 2 and half years later was in the England team so I don't agree was unfairly ditched

    Yes I suppose he could, if he's somewhere where's there's a scanner & the ability to upload it to a laptop etc.

    All a bit cumbersome. (Apologies if I'm talking crap).

    Given that we've created 55 pages of what I'll generously call "not much really," I feel like we should start a book club. Maybe we can channel this energy/boredom (delete as appropriate) into something positive.

    Surprised we weren't in for Clarke, well or he'd rather be an assistant somewhere else than manage us...

    Assistant at a huge club in England's second city, former European cup winners, recent fa cup finalists, or club on the decline in league 1, not a hard choice.

    I've been really surprised his transition into management hasn't been more successful. He was apparently incredibly integral in Chelsea's early seasons under Mourinho. Chelsea came and trained at UCLA a couple times, and we'd go down and watch them, and the work they did on the training ground was impressive. Would have him in a heartbeat. But maybe assistant is more his calling.

    Now supposedly reports in South Wales about Slade leaving Cardiff to join us. Seen on Twitter.

    Russell bleedin Slade. Urgh.
    He's just so...Leyton Orient (which is why Roly probably likes him, seeing as he's been trying to turn us into a feeder club with no aspiration for promotion or personality)
    Slade seems a nice bloke but a winner....hmmm

    At this point I almost want them to appoint Nobby. Just for the sake of all the idiots complaining about Slade.

    That makes bundles of sense. As someone who 'complained' about Slade, please explain why I'm an idiot?

    Explain what's wrong with Slade, who just took Cardiff to 8th in the championship first.

    Hmmm backed by a warchest of parachute payments, he managed to finish 11th and 8th and was universally disliked by Cardiff fans.
    So....over to you, why does the above make me an idiot? And just for clarity, please explain why you think it's a good idea to appoint Nobby?
