The season ends today pity about the play-offs but the end was better than I predicted at the start of the season where I believed we would finish mid-table. There was no consistency to the season and we needed a good old-fashioned 20-goal striker.
The big news is City’s game against Birmingham will be the last game manager Russell Slade will be in charge of, as he will be taking the role as Head of Football after the game. Slade will oversee scouting among other duties a job he seems to be accepting. Will he be happy with the Head of Football role? I can see him leaving if there is a manager’s job he is interested in he is a manager after all.
"The club feels that it is necessary to have a change. We want to create a spark to take us to another level," said chief executive Ken Choo.
It is something I have always said about bringing in a new manager/head coach that if you have a doubt make the change sooner rather than later. Has long as the club move quickly to find someone he will be ready to stamp his authority on the team. Managers in my book should have pre-season to mould a squad and good on the club acting so quickly with Slade.
Cardiff City are to appoint a head coach to look after the first team but who would be interested? Many managers don’t like working with Heads of Football but one name is constantly linked with the job, Craig Bellamy.
One thing is for sure he wouldn’t take any prisoners on the training pitch or in the dressing room he as the passion but lacks the experience. A local lad and fan of the club and as a foot in the door coaching with the academy. It going to be an interesting time.
On the game it would be great to end the season with a win as it would give us fans something to hang on to during the summer down time before the start of the 2016/17 season.
