Fans want to see Russell Slade out of Cardiff City

Supporters of Cardiff City don’t want to see Russell Slade in the club anymore and they have made it very clear with social media overflowing with negative comments involving the 55 year old manager who seems to have lost the love and support from the fans of Cardiff City who are simply waiting and hoping to see him being removed from the managerial position of the club.

Not only are the fans of Cardiff City utilizing social media to voice their disapproval of Russell Slade but it can also be seen and experienced in the actual matches of the English League Championship club as they are booing the manager and the team in itself. This was clearly evident during Cardiff City’s 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest which was played back in December 29 of 2015.

The disappointing performances that the players of Cardiff City have been displaying not only can be seen from their matches in the English League Championship but it also extends to different competitions as they also suffered a 0-1 defeat against Shrewsbury as the time of Russell Slade appears to be running out.

Vincent Tan is the owner of Cardiff City and he is receiving requests from all over the world of sacking Russell Slade as soon as possible. Slade currently has a contract with Cardiff City which expires in the summer but the disapproval that the fans have in relation to the manager is so big that his time in the club might end sooner than what his contract has stated as just about everyone has lost their faith in Slade after all these negative results that Cardiff City has been picking up.

Daryl Murphy is no longer a target of Russell Slade

Daryl Murphy was one of the priority summer targets of Cardiff City as the player attracted the attention of a number of clubs after scoring 27 goals and helping Ipswich Town get into the play-offs but ultimately losing out to Norwich City in the semi-finals.

It was initially believed that Cardiff City was preparing to launch an offer in the region of €4 million in order to sign the 32 year old forward from Ipswich Town but it’s not going to happen as Russell Slade will try to reinforce players in other positions.

Russell Slade was going to do everything in his power to try and sign Daryl Murphy but now he is going to focus on other positions of his squad that need to be reinforced including, the left and right wings.

Even though €4 million was the price tag that Ipswich Town had on Daryl Murphy, that price could have easily increased taking into consideration that Stoke City, Burnley, Queens Park Rangers, Fulham and Middlesbrough all have shown desire of signing Murphy and Cardiff City isn’t in the financial position to spend big cash in signing players. So, instead of spending a significantly large amount of money a player who is 32 years old, Russell Slade will be searching around for other players to sign that can be cheaper and younger.

Russell Slade wants better Performance from his team

Cardiff City manager Russell Slade has seen his team achieve some impressive results over the last month, but he says that he wants an even better performance when his team take on Birmingham City this weekend.

Cardiff have little to play for in the remainder of the season. After the home match against Birmingham, the club will have only seven matches left in the season. Since we are already 16 points behind the final play-off spots, it is looking unlikely that the players will be motivated going into the weekend. The prospect of relegation has also been avoided for the time being.

Slade says that the team has definitely performed exceptionally well in the recent matches against Bournemouth and Brentford. Cardiff were not expected to get even a point from these two matches against top opposition, but they managed to overcome all odds by getting four points. This was possible after a win over Brentford and a draw against Bournemouth, who currently lead the table. Birmingham have not been going through the same kind of form as their last two opponents, but Slade still considers them as a top opposition nonetheless. There have been several up-and-down some of the campaign, but Slade wants to ensure a strong finish to the season. Continue reading Russell Slade wants better Performance from his team

Russell Slade feels there is space for Improvement for Club

Cardiff manager Russell Slade has admitted that the club needs to improve its consistency if they are to start moving up the table. After managing two victories on the bounce – albeit in different competitions, the team slipped to a 3-2 defeat against Norwich.

Slade has especially identified that the team has to improve a lot when it comes to defending. Norwich may be going through a good run of form at the moment, but Slade feels that most of the three goals could have been prevented. Indeed, Cardiff have one of the poorest defensive records in the division after conceding 38 goals in just 26 league matches.

In terms of scoring goals, they have not been spectacular but it has been enough to do the job. Slade has once again stressed that he has had to work with a limited budget since coming to the club. Continue reading Russell Slade feels there is space for Improvement for Club

Cardiff City 4 Consecutive Victories

From the month of October until November, Cardiff City played a total of 4 League Two home matches with all of them ending in victories for the team of Russell Slade but their latest home game was played against Rotherham in a match that concluded with a goal-less draw and supporters of the home team were disgusted by the result and the performances that the players of Cardiff City displayed.

The goal-less draw match between Cardiff City and Rotherham was played on December which finished off with supporters of the home side booing their team.

Ben Turner is a defender of Cardiff City and he stated that it’s up to the players to try and lift the spirits of the squad and their fans as the club is going through a number of problems outside of the pitch.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked not too long ago due to a string of negative results, Vincent Tan is going through a series of problems with the former coach of Cardiff City, Malky Mackay and there are other issues that are going on which seems to have affected the supporters of the Championship League club who are starting to boo at their own players.

The 26 year old English defender of Cardiff City Ben Turner believes that it’s in the responsibility of him and his teammates to start lifting the hope of their supporters.

“We were booed, but it’s difficult because how the fans are feeling is more than just about the 11 blokes they are watching.For me it has to be about what is happening on the pitch and the more support we get the better it is. Hopefully we will be cheered off next time. It’s up to us to get the crowd going, but it’s a different atmosphere to how it was when we were promoted last time’’ Cardiff City’s Ben Turner said.
