Keep saying a winning run will bring the fans back. NOT THIS ONE.
We could go on a 10 match winning run winning 10 nil every game and it won't bring me back! BACK TO BLUE MR. SLADE - AND NOTHING ELSE WILL BRING ME BACK.

Totally agree. He just does not get it. Cardiff Fans don't give a stuff if they're team loses as long as they give 100% effort. They'll still get clapped off. They don't care what division they're in, mostly, as most of us have seen them play in every division. Most of them in the lower ones !

What will bring us back is our traditional colours, badge and feeling of being valued and not THE NECESSARY EVIL that the owner/club have to put up with.

Slade probably does "get it" But he's in no position other than to tow the party line. You'd have to be a complete moron not to "get it".

Applying the conditions of his contract which any boss would require , that doesn't make him a bad football manager, just one who is obeying his terms and conditions in the right and proper manner , he probably has a sensible view on the colour of the shirt we should wear , unlike some managers/staff we have had who choose to abuse their position.

What Slade does get is the basics of football , and inheriting an overpaid under committed squad not best suited for this league, Lets see what he brings to the table, and then judge him.

I would imagine he does get it.This is surely the case, in fact I would be very surprised if tan doesn't get new employees to sign some sort of agreement not to talk about rebrand issues.

He's not going to openly criticise the management without first expecting to get sacked. And then possibly taken to the cleaners in the press.Agreed

It's Slade's job to win as many matches as he can - in hopefully an attractive manner - thats all.

It's not Slades job to give you or anyone else an ego massage, get the team to play in blue - that is Tan / Choo's job - and they arent doing a good job of it

As far as I'm concerned it's got NOTHING to do with anyones ego except for Tans. Certainly not mine, it's about pride and passion for me and respect for my clubs traditions. That is not an ego trip.

Oh get you demanding that Slade do that - when it has nothing to do with him - or maybe it does , maybe you can DEMAND that he does something else for you whilst he works on the blue problem http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

"this is why people will be weary of joining Cardiff"Ole was bought in on mega money and was obviously the wrong choice, Malky, viewed it as a stepping stone once the involvement and pressure became too much for him IMHO and Slade was just happy to have a job and do as he is told, I guess http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif

Spot on that's why we've ended up with a lower league journeyman manager that has never won a promotion in his career, who was one game away from getting the old tin tac from OrientThere you go!

Although he may be heavily involved in asset stripping which Slade can do nothing about!

In fairness its not his fault. Sir Alex Ferguson would struggle in the current circumstances.
What disappoints me more is the likes of Rob Phillips, Blakey and BBC Wales not coming out and saying how it is....they all skirt around the situation. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

Ole had 1 transfer window too many it was obvious he was useless as soon as he opened his mouth.
He just talked in football clichés and his team selection was based on the National lottery.
Slade has had to try and knock ole`s overpaid under worked "stars" into some sort of semblance of a football team. I`m giving him this transfer window to see what he can do.

No, based on what I've seen I would question if you could trust him to bring in the type of players that are requiredFor various reasons, he might have a different attitude now.

Tan has previously shown that even CEO's don't last long under him (How many have we had 5-6 in the last 3-4 years)?Do you think Slade is the right Manager for us?

I don't believe that the players have any respect for Slade as a manager, so unless he can get shot of them all and replace them in January, he's got no chance of having any success IMHO.I have the humility to certainly know that I am not right all the time, but I would hope that everyone else on this board could admit the same about themselves.

He might be a great guy and a very nice person, however just based on what I've seen if it was my hard earned he was spending he wouldn't get much of it that's for sure.I've been both an employee and employer, so can see Tan's, Slade's and fans perspectives.

Tan has spoken many times.But I can't remember any where he gave reasons for the rebrand, the reasons that you think the fans are supposed to try to understand. So if I've missed it, please give me the quote.

With too many players at the club at present, there will likely be a number of players adversely affecting this 'layering'.I expect Slade to bring 4/5 players in - we need them. If he is shipping the same number out then his 'big squad' statement is simply more fancy words surely.
