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.
I can see why it could have been thought a good thing. We've been through some extremes in playing "style": OGS and Trollope vs Mackay, (Slade) and Warnock. It's expensive to make wholesale changes in players every other manager. They probably thought that he was a slightly more modern Warnock that could have steered the team to a more modern game.

if people think we are going to get a manager with a win rate much above 40% they are seriously, seriously deluded.
Who said we are?
When all is said and done. He did well to get us to the play offs last season but we did not go up.
15th this season wasn't good enough and it wasn't for the owner.
That is about it really.
Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED
He also didn't have a 40% win record here.

We're really after a caretaker to get us to end of the year in this league and offer enough of a budget to change our midfield for next year to new manager.
Well that's right. This is no time for a learner. Obviously we need an old hand and it's to be hoped, as has been suggested, that they've had their man in mind for some time.
Re: NEIL HARRIS SACKED - CONFIRMED
I'd just like to say thank you Mr Harris for your services to the club.
You must have known it wouldn't be an easy ride inheriting a bunch of players failing as a team. Getting us to the play offs last year was no mean achievement.
You brought a few good boys in but unfortunately it wasn't quite enough.
I have no doubt you gave it your best shot.
I wish you good luck for the future.

Youre cocking your nose up at 40%. What previous win rate is going to be acceptable for you not to threaten to not renew your season ticket before a manager has even taken charge of a game? 45%? 50%%? 60%

Possibly.
If they weren't his boys, and it seems to make sense, then it could be that whoever comes in will just have to work with what he's got and continue getting the big wage earners off the books.
I sincerely hope not and that they have some "proper" plan in mind!
