Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
Slade was bought in with a mandate to clear the wage bill, get rid of all the deadwood, and keep us in the division. Putting us in a healthier position for the next guy to start over. The football was shit (although not as bad as it is at the moment) and some of the signings were awful (Alex Revell anyone?) but I'd say he achieved what he was hired to do.
I've revised my opinion of OGS in the last couple of years. Quite a few players from that period have retired now and are doing the podcast circuit, and when you listen to some of their stories about what was going on at the club (ie Tan picking the team) it's clear he was on a hiding to nothing from the get go. Still don't rate the guy, but a lot of the issues during his time at the club were not of his doing.
Trollope obviously never got the results but 11 games is a bit much to lump him in with "worst ever".
Again, Harris might not have been everyone's cup of tea but got us into the playoffs. Hardly "worst ever" material.
I think it was the other bob wilson that said the other day Warnock was one of our best ever managers before and during the PL season, and then one of our worst ever after it.
