So, is anybody still behind Harris?

Re: So, is anybody still behind Harris?

It's 9 points. We're 9 points ahead of Rotherham who have two games in hand, sure they are guaranteed wins but they have only won 3 games fewer than us all season, we aren't in a position to ignore the threat of a relegation battle.

As for a new manager turning around this form, why is that out of your imagination? We've lost 6 games straight, you think no-one out there could do better? Laughable.

Well suggest a name then

Paul Cook, but would he be prepared to work for Vincent Tan?

Re: So, is anybody still behind Harris?

Maybe if Scoular has been sacked in the mid-60s we would have got a manager in that could get us promoted. Why is Scoular a legend but Dave Jones is a miserable sod with no plan B?

Because Dave Jones was a miserable sod with no plan B?

No idea about Scoular way before my time.

What has Tan said or done within past 14 months that suggests he's a bad owner to work with?

Actually we can extend that further. When was the last time Tan said/did anything to suggest he's a bad owner to work with? Are we saying he didn't put enough money for Warnock in the summer before the premier league or are we having to go back further than that?

That’s got nothing to do with it, Vincent Tan’s reputation within the game was established, rightly or wrongly, eight years ago at the time of his row with Malky Mackay. Maybe our owner is slightly more highly regarded these days, but the attitude about him interfering in selection and signings is still around - I believe there will always be some managers who might have been interested in coming here under different circumstances who would not apply under the current ownership.

Think you’re wrong about past happenings Bob, people have short memories and if the package is right they will take the job on offer. I’m not referring to people like Guardiola or Mourinho.

I've always been a bit meh about Harris, but changing for changing sake is as likely to be harmful to u as it is positive.

We need a director of football first IMO

If I were a potential manger, I'd see Tan keeping very quiet in public and providing the most recent managers here with time and money that other clubs wouldn't have before I remembered what he did 8 years ago. Anyone judging over the 10 years(ish) he'd been here would still see his reputation as more negative than positive.

Do you think changing now is for changing sake or a reaction to a disastrous run of form.

I wonder who is signing these players as I don't think it's Harris.

Something must be slightly off with Paul Cook, he can't seem to even get an interview. I don't know what it is, though!

Harris is in charge of the football on the field, that's not going well. This isn't changing for changing's sake. We've lost 7 out of 12. We've lost nearly half our games this season. It's dire, as well. I don't think there's one redeeming feature to our play and there's absolutely no signs of improvement.

And that's the rub. When we lose i try and look for positives, a few passages of play, some intelligence, thought on the ball etc. If there's nothing positive on that score then it's the bread and butter stuff like work rate, honesty, character. When there's little to get enthused about on the most basic aspects of playing the game, then it's time to declare an emergency. Make no doubt about it, we are in the shit, we aren't even witnessing individual performances, players are getting worse, the body language is wrong and there's a lack of desire from the players to turn things around.

When supporters say that Harris needs more time, then my answer is 'Time for what'? because there has to be some underlying positives (however small) for him to be afforded that time. There aren't any, it's going backwards and Harris himself doesn't seem to have the first idea on how to get this bunch playing in a way that will see us get results.
