ChampionshipCardiff City owner Vincent Tan hopes would be manager Russell Slade can beat Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's long-service record, reports BBC Sport. The Welsh club and Slade's former side Leyton Orient are in dispute over his proposed move to the Bluebirds.

"I hope Russell Slade can beat Arsene Wenger's record," said Tan.

Malaysian businessman Tan also revealed Slade is helping Cardiff as a consultant as the wrangling between them and Leyton Orient continued.

"We now have a little problem with Leyton Orient but that is being sorted out," Tan said.

"He is helping us a little bit on consultancy until he can sort out his contract. Then we can officially hire him."
