He's gone .
Vincent Tan is entitled to more for his money and the fans deserve better too.
Note incidentally what Sir Niel Warnock is doing with Middlesborough tonight and this season. Management is a rare skill and I'm afraid our man doesn't posess it at this stage of his career.
Can’t see him surviving now. The squad is considerably stronger than the League position.
I was prepared to give him 3 more games, but after that he's got to go.
Players really pissed me off tonight. I don't care who the manager is, some of their "performances" were pathetic.
No. I’m not the manager. I work in IT.
But I also know that Harris is not a good enough manager for Cardiff City (I think even YOU must see what most people knew when he joined)
I can’t understand why you can’t see that or would rather wait until we get relegated.
Out of interest did you SEE the game tonight? 🤦*♂️
I'm asking you, if you were manager what would you do? I have stated my objections, I'm asking you what you think is going wrong. The balance of the team, the players etc? You just whinge and moan. You slagged him off after we got into the playoffs, only Leeds and Brentford got more points than us since he took over. Things aren't going well this season and he's now bang in trouble. Harris proved he's capable of managing last season but he's really struggling now.
9 times in 13 games we've conceded the first goal. Each time we've scored first, we've won without conceding. There's a clue. We have the worst first half record in the division.
How often does the team go out on to the field, look lethargic, sloppy, uninterested, then concede? Most of the time. When it keeps happening, the manager should be thinking about why it keeps happening. It happened quite often in the first few months Harris was with us, so it's not new. If he can't work out what is wrong he shouldn't be in the job. If I was in a management position with a company and my department kept missing out on targets, if I turned around to the company directors and said that we're actually doing really well, we haven't had what we've deserved, I'd be laughed out of the office as I picked up my bags.
I recently remarked that City fans will usually get behind a team that tries its best. We can tolerate players who have limitations providing they give everything. Sometimes, effort has been a more important attribute to some City fans than skill and ability. If a Cardiff City side loses a game, but comes off the pitch and you feel they couldn't have given much more, you'll live with that. It's when there's a lethargy, when players stop looking hungry and interested, when you feel the side could be doing much better than it is, then questions get asked, fans voice their disapproval.
I look at Leicester in the season after they won the PL. Void of ideas, the team looked a total shadow of the champions they were only months before. By all accounts, some Leicester players had stopped playing for him for whatever reason. Ranieri had no idea what to do about it. Whether rightly or wrongly (based mainly on loyalty), he was sacked. It was ultimately the right move.
Harris is trying different things. They're not working. Tonight was an embarrassment of random substitutions and hoping to pinch a goal. Tonight he didn't know what he was doing. That's a worry.
