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

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
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.
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
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.

and his wikipedia page needs to be updated
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.
It was ultimately the right decision but we shouldn't forget what he was aiming for. Next manager isn't going to have it easy thanks to mismanagement before Harris arrived but will have it easier, in the long run, due to Harris' time at the club.Quote:
A really good man, a pleasure to deal with and tried his best to change things from the ground up. Really admired his passion for youth and desire to see the academy flourish and I'm sure rewards will be reaped in time.
But, as he also knew, it's ultimately a results business and they have simply not been good enough.
Injuries have not helped, but the football flipped and flopped from one style or system to another.
Just couldn't strike the right balance and ultimately the price has been paid

(and we shouldn't forget that his winning percentage has only just dropped below what Warnock managed here).
