Those of you who read or viewed the press conference with Russell Slade, there is something that impressed the waiting media and it is that Slade never avoids one question, whatever question is posed to him he answers everything.

What was said today is that Slade may come across as a nice guy and approachable but when he needs to be he is tough and a no nonsense type of manager, it was a point that was strongly explained to me and I believe that is the type of manager we need at this time.

Scott Young has been offered a position to work alongside Russell Slade and he is wanted by Slade but the reason I am told it has not been announced is Young is looking over the contract on offer, Young would come away from working with the U18’s which he was happy doing and this is a big step for his career and he most definitely wants the job but it is a big decision that he wants to make sure he gets right for him and his family.

Slade had a one to one meeting with David Marshall which was then followed by a positive meeting with the whole squad to discuss moving forward after recent events.

The Two Spaniard’s, Cala and Guerra, it is being said that both will be shipped out unless there is a major change of attitude of attitude, apparently they are both unhappy at the club.

It is true that Vincent Tan asked Scott Young and Gabbidon to play Cala in the Bournemouth game as there were scouts there to watch Cala, I believe this has already been said previously.

Slade has been promised by Vincent Tan that there will be no pressure this season and even if there is no promotion his job will not be the line according to Tan, but Tan is hopeful of a top six finish.

The company that laid the pitch at Cardiff City Stadium once applied to lay the pitch at the Millenium Stadium but we’re not given the contract, there has now been a new pitch laid at the National Stadium by this company and the pitch at our stadium has played a major factor, it is that good.
