Former Cardiff and Charlton boss Russell Slade has been appointed manager of League One strugglers Coventry until the end of the season.

Good luck to him

I thought you were going to break out with the Adam el-Abd song when I saw your thread title.

Cardiff, Charlton, Coventry...

He does like to go where the fans and board like to have a run-in. Blackpool after this, I guess.

Charlton to Coventry. Never has the phrase from the frying pan to the fire been more applicable. Still he was always very good at fire fighting I suppose.

Funny thing, he only seems to choose jobs where the club is in turmoil. Things weren't exactly rosy when he was with us, and then there was that Vincent Tan business at Cardiff of course.

As [MENTION=525]Cheeky Monkey[/MENTION] has mentioned, a true fighter.
Someone who's not afraid of a challenge, especially with SISU fund managers at Coventry.

Yep, Teflon coated! Mind you that''s almost a prerequisite in modern day football management.

Doesn't he realise it is a near impossible job - until SISU can be prised out ?

Good luck to him but it must be remembered a job is a job with a wage coming in even if only to end of season.

Good luck to him. Saved us from what seemed certain relegation at Withdean and a thoroughly likeable bloke.

Good luck to him, hope he gets the support he deserves, though I feel it will be a tough ride for him.
