Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan has revealed Russell Slade is his choice for manager.
Three managers have left since the Malaysian billionaire bought the Championship (second tier) club in 2010 and now Tan believes Slade is the man to stop the managerial merry-go-round.
"He was identified by me," the 62-year-old Tan said of Slade, who tendered his resignation with third-tier Orient last Wednesday, in an interview broadcast on Monday.
"We now have a little problem with Leyton Orient but that is being sorted out.
"Dave Jones wasn't recruited by me. Malky Mackay wasn't recruited by me. In a way, Ole wasn't recruited by me. I said now, the next manager I will select and I think that he (Slade) will make a good manager for us.
"All I can say to the Cardiff fans is give him a chance, give him a break."
