I wouldn't want Bellamy managing a team low on morale

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Bellamy wouldn't want it.

We're his only hope of Championship or above, unless he starts in Belgium. He still lives in Cardiff. I think he'd be mad to turn it down.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

I dont feel in the least bit sorry for 2 blokes in their early 20s leaving Crawley and Crewe joining a bigger club on 1000s a week. Im sure they will cope.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

The new manager is critical to how the next few years will pan out. Change was needed, some would argue sooner.

For me he did well last season, abysmally this season and the playing style hardly changed from that under Warnock. For me he had to go.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Good luck, Harris. Good bloke, did a great job last season but sadly the wheels have come off big time. All the best.

"The Club". Feel a bit sorry for Watters, especially. If the new manager doesn't play 442, he's not going to get a look in. Ng will be fine, though.

I wondered if Harris was sticking two fingers up at the board by substituting Watters after 55 minutes last night.

It all makes sense, that's why it won't happen

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Thank you and good luck Neil

I'm never happy when anybody loses their job but the warning signs were there from the League Cup game at Northampton that the team was all over the place and your job was to identify that and rectify it - it didn't happen and performances have not improved. The Coventry, Wycombe and Derby defeats were utterly dreadful. The Swansea defeat was depressing in seeing the gulf in class to a team that finished behind us last season.

The harsh reality is that it wasn't going to improve without a different approach and the board were therefore right in their decision.

I wish you well and hope you can find another job in football as he seems a decent fella

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

It's an honour and a privilege to manage Cardiff City FC. Unfortunately it hasn't worked out for Neil and CCFC this season, so it's probably for the best.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Why on earth have we let Harris see through most of January? Should have been sacked after Wycombe.

Anyway good luck to him wherever he goes next, he was unfortunately not the right guy for us. God knows who the board will appoint next

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

He did say some daft things though.
"I've shown, in my managerial career, that if I'm given time then I can be successful," Harris said after the match.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Makes you wonder who signed Ng and Watters.

I thought about that as it made me wonder if signing them did indeed mean that he was safe. The club probably took the view that they are relatively young and relatively cheap.

And therein lies the problem.

What he did here is no surprise. His win percentage was not far off what he achieved at Millwall. His playing style wasn't that different to what he produced at Millwall.

It makes you wonder what the three who picked him thought he was going to achieve here?

The cheap option again it seems which has turned into an expensive pay off again.
