Odd, then, that when Slade wasn't playing the youngsters he was being castigated. Isn't it simply the case that Cardiff's Academy is failing? When was the last time that the academy produced a Welsh international and/or a player that moved to a higher division club for a fee of more than £1m? Just as Warnock can't be blamed for not picking non-existent starlets, it's amusing that some use the same issue as a stick to beat his predecessor.
Perhaps some of the money that is spent on the 1Malaysia project would be better spent closer to home? Just a thought.
