I'm not sure where you got this season ticket stuff from but it certainly wasn't me.Quote:

Jesus. You had an absolute mare backing Harris for success but you can't let it lie.
Mick Mcarthy has won 2 promotions. The last of which was 12 years ago.Quote:

I’d say in modern times Harris has been more succesful than Big Mick.
And I never backed Harris for success I said he deserved the chance to turn it around.
Mick McCarthy has won the Championship twice.Quote:

I thought you wouldn't take your man Harris being sacked well but dear me. :hehe:
If you need to make up stories about me ripping up season tickets or try to convince people Harris was sacked too early then crack on.
What has Mick done recently? Did you watch his Ireland side?Quote:

As for comparing international teams with club football. They are very different.
One of the McCarthy in lot giving it large againQuote:

He won the Championship in the 00s, a completely different era. Phil Brown won promotion from the championship in that era maybe we should employ him? Dave Jones too. Let’s re-hire him?Quote:

Put whatever spin you like on it it’s an absolute shocking appointment if true.
I give him 6 games and you’ll have your pitch fork out.

Not my pick and if you care to check the thread where it discusses win percentages I did not bring up win percentages.Quote:

Back Harris, Harris fails, make sh!t up. Talk about grasping at straws.
I'll take Klopp right now

Easy to not back a manager when 99% get sacked eventually.Quote:

You were the first poster in that thread to mention win percentages.Quote:

He is the sort who talks the longest and believes that it wins the argument.
As I said some months ago it was fairly black and white and easy to judge. Harris then went on an even worse downward spiral than even I had expected (you disappeared for most of it) and then resurface and make up things to try to salvage something from the wreckage.
Enjoy yourself JR. Trot the season ticket story out if you get bored. Harris is gone. You grasping at straws is not changing that.
I think someone else posted it first to be fair but Lewj was first to use it as a stick to beat HarrisQuote:

Keep posting. It's hilarious.
They are different but they were bloody awful, as were his Ipswich side. He lasted about 5 minutes at APOEL.Quote:

Enjoy it lads. Make up season ticket stories, say I'm a Mick McCarthy man and that I mentioned win percentages first. It does not change a thing.
Keep posting lads. The stage is yours. I'm bored but I.will have a fair few laughs at the posts that come in the near future I am sure.
Not a betting man but shirley worth a quid on Jurgen :shrug:
Talking longest doesn't win the argument JR.Quote:

Someone else posted the statistics for Harris's managerial career, but you were the one who started going on about his win percentage.Quote:

:hehe: I have been proven right re our ambition, there's a reason I didn't want Harris to get sacked at the first sign of trouble. Now, we had no choice. It's got the stage where his position was untenable. We all know that.Quote:

He finished 5th and play offs with a fit squad. That’s not garbage.Quote:

That’s football. He will come again I’m sure. Still only a young manager.
Mick McCarthy my arse - are Dave 'Harry' Basset or Big ****ing Ron in contention too.? Jesus wept :facepalm:
Nathan Blake is convinced that injuries weren't the main reason for our malaise in recent times. He said things went far deeper than that.Quote:
