Admin phantom Posted May 18, 2016 Admin Share Posted May 18, 2016 Head coach Paul Trollope is set to be confirmed as Russell Slade's successor as Cardiff City first-team boss. Former Wales midfielder Trollope, 43, had been part of Slade's coaching team since February 2015. Slade was removed as manager of the Championship club at the end of the season and has taken up a new role as head of football, in which he will oversee scouting, among other duties. Trollope, in his new role, will not report to predecessor Slade. The club will confirm Trollope's appointment at midday on Wednesday. Trollope, who spent five years as manager of Bristol Rovers, is also a member of Chris Coleman's Wales coaching team. It is expected he will continue in his role at this summer's European Championship finals in France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but at least LJ is young & thought to have a bright future in the game. Trollope has been in the background for the last few years, it would be very much on a level of someone appointing Keith Millen. Seemingly good coaches but not really head coach material. As for Cardiff, a management team of Trollope & Slade isn't exactly something to get excited about. Just my own personal feeling about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1ackbird Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Slade was brought in to slash the wage bill while keeping Cardiff competitive, I think he did that quite well, even though the footballs been turged,( according to their fans) at times.. The only problem with promoting Trollope from within is it rarely works, you can't be a players mate one minute and bollock him for the same thing the next...

Sort of lost in this thread is nothing to do with Trollope's ability and his incredibly average stats at the gas, it's about the big club mentality once more, apparently Cardiff were in the prem not so long ago and had good sized crowds and now they are not and a 2nd uninspiring appointment later their crowds are embarrassingly low and unless he get's them off to a flying start will continue in the same vein IMO.

Up The City! Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I always felt he did a really solid job for Rovers. Made them a decent league one team. But as they were so close to us yet so far away they hounded him out. Eventually they were relegated out of the football league. Now they are celebrating being back to where Trollope once had them, a league they were so desperate to get out of when he was in charge they sacked him because he couldn't fulfil their wild ambitions. #gaslogic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Rovers he had Lennie Lawrence as his backup and was doing a decent job for them. However when they decided to get rid of LL, Trollope seemed completely out of his depth. This would be a worry for me if I was a Cardiff fan (heaven forbid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did ok alongside Lennie Lawrence for us but as soon as Lennie was axed he was an absolute shambles. He signed average players on stupid money, and made some baffling selections. It was HIS team that got relegated from League One in 2011, don't forget. With the budget he had (biggest in our history) he had a golden opportunity to get in the top 7 in L1 the season before that and blew it. The night we beat Southampton away we were 3rd in the league. He never replaced Lambert, that was his big failing. We brought in shit like Akinde (sorry, I know you guys like him but he's awful and there's a reason why he's been successful in non-league and not the professional ranks) and played long ball football to Jo Kuffour, a man who would make Kevin Hart look like a giant.

I think Foderingham is right; they went for it post Lawrence and Trollope failed and left them in a bad place. Not so bad it wasn't rescuable, but he did. That said he's had a lot more experience since at Brum and Cardiff so in spite I think he may yet prove a good appointment. What may prove difficult is Cardiff's expectations: as was difficult at Rovers. Top 10 is a success there. I don't think their fans will buy it though. Just as at Rovers it will take a lot of investment, and investment is clairevoyancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
