As a manager, a couple of things you should not do. Have a go at the players in public nor the fans in public.

Not entirely in the same position as Harris but even Klopp did not blame his players for their loss to Burnley last night. He blamed himself.
We all know there is only so much a manager can do and that it is the fault of himself and the players as a collective that they are having a poor run.

He blamed himself because as soon as a manager loses the support of the players or fans, his days are numbered.
He realises that harmony amongst all is the way forward.

You would have to be blind deaf and stupid not to know the fans' opinions and to see the verbal kicking Harris has taken on SM virtually since he's been here will not of course be the sole reason but will have definitely have played a part in his demise.

There are far too many sensationalist headline threads with a negative spin on here IMHO, as there are petty squabbles.
Of course these are stressful times and people are letting off steam.

However, Mick McCarthy is our new manager whether we like it or not.
Let's all just try and give the bloke chance eh?

And breathe...
