Taxi for Harris......

Re: Taxi for Harris......

Should never have been appointed. I thought slade was cringe worthy with his interviews until Harris came a long reading from a london chavs book on how to manage.

“It’s all down to the group, the group looked good in training and we’re working with the group but the group let us down today . We include young players in the group to get experience of the group , some will stay within the group and learn from the group and we will continue to work with the group”

He does like a group 😂

Re: Taxi for Harris......

Actually that’s not true, just look at our recent history, we sacked Ole and got into the play offs in Malky’s first season and promoted the next.

We sacked Paul Trollope and Warnock kept us up and then got us promoted the following season

So in recent history sacking the manager got us promoted the season after

Lots of clubs sack the manager and then get promoted, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t but to say sticking with a manager when it’s clearly not working doesn’t always make sense, we were going down under Trollope before Warnock turned it around

So we are mid table with everything to play for this season and you think its clearly not working and you want Harris sacked ?

Re: Taxi for Harris......

I have changed my mind re my comments yesterday on a different thread about Harris when mooting that his time is up. Having viewed his post match comments this morning, I think he was absolutely correct in that he was let down by his players 3 times in a 25 minute period in the second half and that he cannot personally prevent needless errors; goalkeeping mistakes, Bacuna getting skinned twice when he should be playing in midfield, etc. Also, he alluded to the fact that none of Moore, Tomlin and Jordi are near to a return to the first team. For yesterday’s loss, I don’t feel Harris can be blamed. Nor is he at fault for City having such a small squad versus many of our rivals. (He should of course have signed right back cover).

Harris was reasonable in his statement that we cannot achieve automatic promotion, but that a play off place still beckons. But if I was a journalist questioning him, I would have asked why he didn’t put Bacuna back in midfield weeks back and tried Benkovic, Nelson or someone else at right back and if necessary, changed his centre half pairing which isn’t perfect. Nobody has the guts to ask Neil this question.

To summarise, we should retain Harris for the rest of the season with the aim of achieving a play off place following a sensible January transfer window to strengthen our side. The club has stated a top six finish is their expectation - we fans have to support Harris, Tan, Dalman, Chu etc in their efforts to accomplish this. Right now today, this is still achievable. We can consider a managerial change (if appropriate) at the end of this season.

There's a number of City fans who are probably going to say this about the next manager too. Either we get a well known name who cannot do anything extra to help us longer term or we get one with less of a record and these fans question the ambition of the club.

This is very sensible and the correct way to approach things.
