Sensible move I think, I also hadn't seen what Kieffer had said about him, which gives me a bit of confidence https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59192508
Why only until the end of the season?
Probably sorting out who looks after what in terms of backroom staff and u23s, before announcement.
Love to see Hudson given a chance somewhere. Knows the club and well respected.
I'm pleased, we've seen an improvement in passing, better results, less hoof ball, and the players seem happy and motivated. If he just keeps us out of trouble but we don't improve beyond that then the club can look at it again in the summer. If we are looking a better team by then he can get a longer contract.
In the absence of a suitable candidate with good Championship experience this has to be a sensible option given that he know the set up and the players.
Because there’s no continuity and it seems that they’re putting a young manager/coach on an extended trial - if they trust him enough for what will be a period in charge of nearly seven months, I don’t see why they can’t go further than that. Just appointing managers for a period of months is just an extension of the short termism which has cost us dearly under Vincent Tan - the two years given to McCarthy was a mistake, but that shouldn’t put them into the frame of mind that they don’t offer longer contracts.
They're also giving him the opportunity of his career after a very small sample size of games which is reward enough for him on his current performance. I'd say this is mutually beneficial, and if we were to just appoint him on a 2 year contract and it goes tits up then we're paying off potentially 3 managers at once whilst being cash strapped - I'm unsure when Harris' ends.
For once, this in my opinion is a reasonable decision from City and hopefully Morison is rewarded with a big contract and pay increase come next May, along with the young players who I presume will assist the effort to keep us up.
