Russell Slade has managed 9 clubs with varying degrees of incompetence. Only once has he won more than 40% of matches and that was with Orient, the team ready to sack him before Cardiff employed him.

In fact, unbelievably, out of the 9 clubs we offer his fifth best win statistics!

He seems a nice enough guy, maybe if given until the end of the season, or more likely till the end of next season he might learn the game. There again …

Obviously the Cardiff board have a big headache this far into the season. If he were sacked now we could go four or more games without a full time manager –but would that be worse? Then there would be a short period for the new appointment to settle in.

So a gamble.

But to keep Russell Slade risks losing everything and being relegated.

I know which risk I would find most acceptable.
