Good answers. He'll be judged based on what happens on the pitch but a good start.

Just watched the full interview and it was the reporter that mentioned Warnock mark 2 in all fairness.Quote:

The full thing on the city app is worth a watch though I must admit, he came across very well, 28 minutes well spent for me.
Came across very well, certainly better than I got from reading the bits they put in the article, and the mini video on the WOL link.
Hold my hands up and admit he’s definitely a very likeable guy that grew on me the more I watched, loads of encouraging remarks, especially with creating links through the age groups, which is something I’ve moaned about incessantly for days, and also adapting play and not just being a route one team which I’ve also complained about to anyone that was reading my multiple critical posts.
First impressions are encouraging, I hope this transitions onto the pitch and we do actually mix it up and pass, I’ve never screamed for tippy tappy football, I just didn’t want aimless long balls and continuous bombardment of the 6 yard box with long hoofs, long throws, and long free kicks aimed at a giant in the box to win the flick on. It seems like he wants to evolve his style over time and understands what he’s inherited.
That said I’ll judge him on how we play and not how he says we’ll play (it’s all ideal in a press conference to put it across suppose the challenge is implementing it)
Probably could have put that essay in another thread come to think about it... :hehe:
Good to see a positive thread but surely this is all stuff everybody was expecting?Quote:

Can anyone find me a new manager press conference from any club that doesnt have all of those things?
Seemed pretty clear that most of us were bored of the Warnock Way by the end, so any change is good. New voice, new tactics, new formation, new selections etc. I couldn't stand Slade but always got behind the team, as I will with Harris. However, I still think it's an uninspiring, unimaginative appointment.
Came across well, honest and Humble. On another note, Andy Dibble looks like Morrissey.
Good God Neil, you're already boring the living shite out of me.

All we can do is hope and support him ,it won't be easy, as our side has a very tired look about it this year ,perhaps a new era is now required , but that needs big planning, finance.
and major changes of personal and direction.
Probably club 'politics' but the two minute piece on the club website of Harris taking training had an extended clip of him shaking hands with all the youth players. Symbolic maybe and very easy to do - but a picture paints a thousand words (hopefully)!
Sounds encouraging. Welcome aboard Neil and good luck

Sounds ominously like long ball football.
I’ve been harsh over the weekend, the interview has definitely given me a more positive outlook on him, as I’ve posted above, but ultimately I’ll judge him on how we play in the first few games, I already know results are going to be up and down so that probably won’t change much, so I hope we get some better football along with it...Quote:

He's chirpy. What else do you want?
Me too mate. If I thought there was an incline of a plan from those above I might be a bit more optimistic.Quote:

If he's got us playing fast flowing attacking football by the end of the season then shows some sort of coherent plan in his summer spending I may come around but until then my glass is half empty though I won't be getting the daggers out for a while.
Cheer up Gringo munQuote:

And agree fully with posts he comes about as a genuine guy, not like the fecking me me me me me.... So glad i he is gone.,,
