NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

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

Harris is going to spend the next 20 years making upwards of £250K. He'll be fine.

I very much doubt that. He's going to struggle to get a Champ job next and if he doesn't crack his next job, he'll probably be done.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

To give you some samples

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

Win rate is a strange statistic. As you say, 40+% is decent. PPG would a much better indicator. But even then, one bad season (like being relegated from the PL - or a couple of seasons struggling in the PL) can screw that up.

Alan Cork has a win rate of nearly 49% and yet he wasn't very good! Slade had a win rate of 39.2% which is close to Warnock, Mackay, Jones etc.

Great news, wrong manager from day one. I have nothing postive to say about him or his appointment.

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.

You should put your CV into Wayne Nash youre very good at moving the goalposts.

Youve never got anything positive to say about anything. One of lifes moaners. Im surprised youre able to get out of bed in the morning.

What did you see in Harris's sides performances that enabled you to keep the faith with him?

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Confirmed.

Personally not particularly happy about it when it’s the players fault but he made the decision a lot easier

Good luck to Harris don’t think he was helped by the players but onto pastures new for us.

Interesting to see who they will bring in

Agreed ... having said that, if many of the current players want to improve, they need to find a new club.

Oh I agree but Lewj brought it up and seems to be implying we should never had appointed Harris in the first place because his won ration was ONLY 41.6% at Millwall. He got Millwall promoted, got us to play-offs in his first season. Im sure there will be other teams taking a punt on him, he wont be out of work long. It didnt happen for him this season but hey ho such is life. At least it gives you lot the chance to sharpen your knives ready for the next manager.

Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED

Can’t see Morrison staying with the under 23s either.

Possibly put in interim charge?

Saw the highlights of the U23 game v the Jacks and it was actually a pleasure seeing a decent standard of football.
