It counts for little but thats also the investment put in. Football is a business and you are a customer.Quote:

If..................He will be one of the biggest underwhelments ever. We have a proper chance to 'kick on' here and recruit a manager with some pedigree, appetite and experience. Harris fails on all three of those, in fact he walked away from his last club.
If we appoint him its possibly because he's the easy cheap option and no other reason.
Fingers crossed it wont be him.
Why should the fans get a say on who a new manager is?
They shouldn’t but if the football style is the same and the results are not good from the off with Harris, then people will vote with their feet.Quote:

You are basing your idea of ‘fans opinion’ on what is said on here and twitter ? What about the other 24000 who actually go regularly to games. You say this is a ‘mediocre club’ after one of the most successful periods in the clubs history. These are the words of someone who is not really a fan of the club in the first place. If you think what has happened in the last three years is mediocre, what would you have said or done in the 1980’s and 90’s when we really were plumbing the depths in Leagues 3 & 4 ? We haven't even appointed a new manager yet for god's sake. We were verging on the brink of bankruptcy when Tan took over and he has put over £150m in since, so I reckon he is entitled to appoint whoever he likes. If you really mean what you stated above then good riddance.Quote:

I'm joining the latter.
That’s your choice. Fair weather fans are 10 a penny.Quote:

He is also younger by 30 years and you'd expect have more appetite than Warnock at this stage.Quote:

What if hes a success we play good football and climb the table?Quote:

Since its Mr Tan who's risking his investment , it'll be him who decides what to do and either reaps the benefit or pays the price.
Fair weather cheeky buggerQuote:

It’s their little dig. People can’t have opinions and still support the team.Quote:

The board have not got a clue.
The first thing I would do if I bought a firm I knew nothing about was go and get a bloke on board who knew the business inside out to oversee things and to bring those in place up to speed with the knowledge of how things are done.
We just stumble along with businessmen 'playing' the business of football.
It is a recipe for disaster and plain to see for all but the board and decision makers at CCFC.
If the club had any sense at all they would break the bank for a director of football to have a complete overhaul and vision of how to do things at the club. They would also employ a competent young manager with a modern approach and brand of football. If this happened the fans would buy into it and most of all be patient if they could see genuine, long lasting progress was made.
As it is we're getting Warnock Mark II with Tan having a dabble now and again.
This club just pi$$es me off.
I don’t want Harris but if I think if the board thinks he’ll do a good job they have to appoint him. They can’t bow to the whims of the fans if they think he’s good enough.
But at the same time we don't want an Allardyce type who will want big money, and end up getting paid off when he fails (again).
One thing for sure, Neil 'Bummer' Harris is shaping up to be such an unpopular appointment I cant see him surviving past January if results show no improvement and the style stays the same or worsens.. can foresee some very low crowds as well.
