That's twice now he's brought on Mark Harris with about a minute to go, what exactly does he expect him to do at that point?

Enough is enough. Harris has to go.

Re: FT: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
It's getting much harder to argue he deserves more time... Warnock wasted huge sums of money leaving us with much weakened squad so, while improvements have been made by Harris, our limitations are being exposed by a congested fixture list and a manager who hasn't been able to come up with the answers thus far.

Re: FT: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Probably as poor as we have been, very disjointed. Not quite the response of a team trying to get a result for the manager.
Another piss poor goal to give away.

"knows the club" is one of the most damaging phrases in UK football.
It should have basically no bearing compared to finding someone actually qualified to do the job.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Re: FT: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
That was some seriously painful viewing... Only consolation is I didn't pay anything to watch it. I'd be surprised to see Harris still in the job for much longer. That was as clueless and heartless a performance as I've seen in some time.

Bellamy left this club under a dark cloud which is still much too recent for him to return as a manager.
If Harris has reached the end of his time here, I'd still give him the next two games to turn things around, then we need to make a much smarter decision about who to bring in than we have for most of the past 10 years. We have had lots of good managers but majority have been near opposites to what had come before, other teams have built a club whereas we build a team for one or two years, and two most successful managers left us in a right mess. Warnock brought grit and togetherness, Harris has tried to engage with a more balanced approach and much greater focus on future of the club - these qualities should be sought in next manager, if now is the time to start looking.

So we have had Warnock, Warnock junior and now you want anotherWarnock type of manager ?
We need a much better football brain at the head, who can develop a longer serving style. Our current style is division 1 or 2

There does need to be ‘something’ there. How many teams in our position have employed “forward thinking” foreign managers that haven’t fitted in and can’t get their point across because of language and can’t accept what players they have at their disposal

I don't think we can jump from a squad brought in by Warnock and asked to play risk-free football to a manager who wants to immediately play football where attack trumps defensive responsibility. If we're ready to have that manager now then Harris should be commended for doing the graft to get us from point A to (ish) point B.
