NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

I'd just like to say thank you Mr Harris for your services to the club.

You must have known it wouldn't be an easy ride inheriting a bunch of players failing as a team. Getting us to the play offs last year was no mean achievement.
You brought a few good boys in but unfortunately it wasn't quite enough.
I have no doubt you gave it your best shot.

I wish you good luck for the future.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Who said we are?

When all is said and done. He did well to get us to the play offs last season but we did not go up.

15th this season wasn't good enough and it wasn't for the owner.

That is about it really.

Youre cocking your nose up at 40%. What previous win rate is going to be acceptable for you not to threaten to not renew your season ticket before a manager has even taken charge of a game? 45%? 50%%? 60%

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

I wondered that too. I've heard that the two new boys in weren't his signings - so it was make sense.

If that's true is there the possibility that the incoming manager recommended them?

Possibly.
If they weren't his boys, and it seems to make sense, then it could be that whoever comes in will just have to work with what he's got and continue getting the big wage earners off the books.
I sincerely hope not and that they have some "proper" plan in mind!

They must have the next manager lined up now to have only just done it

Let’s face it, they should have, the length of time this has been going on.....

What I'm cocking my nose up at is his win percentage this season.

25%.

You'll probably have a response. It wasn't good enough in my eyes and wasn't in the eyes of the owner. That's about it really.

On to the new man who hopefully gets us playing a bit and winning games.

+ 1

He must be going through it right now and it's not his fault because he gave it 100% and did his best. There was a big element of bad luck but sadly the bottom line is results so although it could easily have gone differently ,it didn't , and he carries the can.

I for one have complete respect for him and wish him very well indeed. I have no doubt that he's learned a great deal which will help him go on to great success somewhere in time.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

To give you some samples

Mark Hughes - 37%
Paul Cook - 43%
Eddie Howe - 41%
Tony Pulis - 36%

Interesting stats. The draws (or not losing) must make the big difference then.
NH comes to about 1.45 points/game for CCFC compared to MM at 1.62. MM's must have been pretty good in the Championship.

Our win percentage this season is not 25%.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Whoever comes in will have to cope with fans calling for the manager’s head after 2 defeats on the trot (a la Real Madrid) and saying we deserve better (quoting our glorious history of 2 seasons in top flight in 50 years).

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

40% win record is not to be sniffed at.

Malkys time with Cardiff was a success and his win record was 43%.

His record at Watford before he got the job was 33%

if people think we are going to get a manager with a win rate much above 40% they are seriously, seriously deluded.

Yeah, winning 40% of your games is not a problem.

Neil Harris's problem was the 11 defeats in 24 league games this season.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

You are right. It is 33%. I looked at Millwall below City as I looked across.

It is still not good enough for this team or squad. The sentiment remains.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

It amazes me that some are still arguing for Harris on the thread.

It was nowhere near enough this time round. If this wasn't sorted out he could well have taken us down.

We certainly deserve better than 6 defeats in a row surely

Nobody is defending Harris but they're criticising you because you're talking out of your arse.

Your first post says his win %age was similar to Millwall, then you say it isn't that, its this and then that. Just give it a bloody rest. Stick to watching Schalke and leave the stats .
