Neil Harris

Re: Neil Harris

He had a few jobs but never lasted long, think he still lives in Penarth though.

He's working with footballers to sue over their data being kept.

Re: Neil Harris

What happened to Slade? Do people ever work again after being here? :xmashehe:

No, but We’re going a step further now though. It’s now the first AND last management job for whoever gets it

Re: Neil Harris

Yeah, he only took the team into the play-offs. Absolute disaster.

it was Tomlin that took the team into the play-offs, playing the best season of his career. The other players responded to Tomlin, not to Harris. Just my thoughts. You will probably disagree with me, which is fair enough. Everyone has an opinion and they can't all be the same

Harris granted Tomlin the freedom to do it though, had a team of hard working players around him and focused on what Tomlin could do rather than what he couldn't, plenty of managers have never really figured out what to do with Tomlin at this level so Harris deserves credit for recognising that at least.

Feels like people forget that playoff campaign, we were excellent in that second leg and should have taken the game to extra time

Tomlin also loves Harris, I'm sure he says he's the best manager he's played under.

We also didn't have Tomlin much for the run in. We went 6 unbeaten without him starting, and won 4 of them. Neil Harris also signed Kieffer, a 20 goal a season striker and someone we made a profit on. Harris isn't great but he is a far, far better manager than the shit we've had since. For a start, he left us in a better place than the one he inherited. We had a goalscorer, for a start. Nobody else can say that since perhaps Slade?

His win ratio was 38.7%, Morison's was 35.6%. He had 1.44 points per game. Morison has 1.24. Honestly, what people saw in Steve Morison,he had 45 games and he was terrible.

Re: Neil Harris

Every manager post Harris, has been considerably worse than Harris.

Gillingham is an absolute basket case, why Harris took that job I don't know but he's probably a mediocre League One manager, which is more than Morison and Hudson.

Harris didn't work in football for a year after he left us, which is quite a long time for a relatively inexperienced manager. I presume that we were still paying some or all of his salary during that time, but it seems like a bad career move for him not to have got a new job in the summer of 2021.

I liked him because he was a different Morison one who is confident enough to operate NAMELY with one S.

I knew that you’d like him.

And Tomlin took us to the playoffs not that idiot.

Try harder next time.

Quite.

Re: Neil Harris

At least there was some logic with Harris's appointment. He had 245 games at Millwall whereas Trollop, Morison & Hudson had 4 between them. Like Slade, he did show he could manage a football club, he wasn't great but knew the time of day.
