The most worrying thing is that Jurssett thinks it’s a good appointment.

To be fair what the duck do we know about managing, coaching and playing professional football.Originally Posted by Vindec
I have a feeling it was a Warnock recommendation.
Na, they wanted a “short contract”, he wanted longer, that’s what been holding the announcement up
Season ticket in the post. **** 'em
Millwall bet spend in the last year - £0
Charlton - £8 million
Luton - £6 million
Would you all have rathered Sparky in charge???
I for one am glad of the Harris appointment- give the guy a chance!!!
Much is made of the fact that the players at the club are similar in style to exactly how Harris sets up.
Square pegs in round holes and all that - we’ll see in January who he brings in to strengthen for our promotion push - yes that’s right lol I’m being positive!!
Apart from the Bristol game where we hit the crossbar three times - any other day we would have won and the Dire performance at the Liability we haven’t played that badly.
The highlight of the season for me was the Birmingham game.
If we could replicate that passion we won’t be far away.....😃👍
Relatively small budget then. Hardly huge amounts.
Harris has recruited for Wall, he’s chosen the players that come in, there would have been options for players that don’t just hoof it.
That’s me done, you won’t change my opinion, he’s a shite appointment.
Jeepers...he’ll be gone in 6 months
Nice pay off coming his way of course....
Ecstatic.
Agree with this. NW leaves on Monday, by Tuesday NH is bookies fav. Deffo in the pipeline before NW left.
Why do we appoint shite managers with a first name Neil
🤣🤣
Things to consider:
1. Most of us want to see a more progressive style of play but in changing managers midseason that's unlikely to happen immediately no matter who was brought in. We'll see whether Harris is the man to encourage players to feel more comfortable playing passing football April 2020 onwards.
2. His record at Millwall, at least the achievements/highlights, was actually very good. Perhaps the thing that sticks out most from wiki article being that he won 6 away games on the bounce in their first Championship season which is impressive in itself but also combined with our traditionally better home record could be very promising.
3. Perhaps this appointment isn't as progressive as some would like but are we missing the promotion that may suggest a longer term plan? In 2016 Chris Wathan (Walesonline) wrote an article about James Rowberry as a potential new manager and he is slowly progressing up the hierarchy towards that potential appointment. Add in the right DoF and suddenly we're a club with a really forward thinking plan.

I won't comment much on the criticism of him being cheap because that's really no bad thing. Expensive is Tony Pulis who peaked at Crystal Palace a number of years ago or Mark Hughes who peaked probably in his second Stoke season and I'd rather not go to either of those two just because they're experienced and take more away from our budget.
The best thing Warnock did was unite the club. Harris may or may not be the right appointment but fans have role in backing him at least until we see how we are going, unless it's obviously awful, into the 2020-2021 season.
We had a manager with the surname Neal who was pretty awful too
Yeah and millwall’s was even smaller
You’ve just decided this is bad and are trying to spin it that way.
Good luck Neil. We shall see.
Why do I have to be spinning?Yeah and millwall’s was even smaller
You’ve just decided this is bad and are trying to spin it that way.
Wall, Charlton, Luton Barnsley all have relatively small budgets, and fees paid aside (I don’t know how much either pulled in in transfer fees just what you’ve said they’ve spent but I’d imagine both sold players to champ clubs when they went up) I would imagine all pay small wages which makes it hard to attract players, yet only one of the teams mentioned plays shite hoofball and their manager didn’t manage to change it in 6 transfer windows. Not even slightly.
Read the news on my phone, just logged in on my iPad and Neil Harris is the new manager on here as well, seriously underwhelmed!!
I was listening on the radio earlier on , they said Cardiff have announced their new manager....
My thoughts were "please dont say Neil Harris , please dont say Neil Harris "
Alas he has the gig , how on earth did we end up here ,lets hope he surprises us all, like Steve Bruce has done the Geordies.
I doubt he will get much slack if results don't go his way immediately .
Cmon Mr Harris prove us doubters wrong ......
Underwhelming. But will back him
Just seems like more of the same but well see
How can you possibly say that is a ‘great appointment’?
Hopefully he’ll come good but can you imagine the players’ reaction?! It will be like ours! Hardly inspiring.
Don't understand why we didn't go for Chris Houghton. But alas. Let's enjoy this Wales match and worry about it next weekend
