Where we we in the table when Harris took over? We were 14th, 8 points away from relegation spot and 7 points from play-offs, but out season looked like it was in trouble. Where are we now? 15th, 13 points away from relegation and 7 points away from play-offs.
If anything, Harris has improved us very, very slightly over the course of 12 months.
No. I wouldn't have him back but the people mentioning the man as if it would be some kind of downgrade. Despite having the squad sold from beneath him to any bidder he managed to get us 8th and improved by three places after his first season. Harris has currently added better players to our wing in Wilson and striker options in Moore and is currently 10 places lower than he finished last season.
It is now whether fans feel Harris is the 5th placed finish standard of manager or if that was an exception to the rule. I believe very much that our position now and the manner of performances are what we will get under Harris. Slightly worse than Slade when taking finishing positions into account might I add.
Slade, like Harris, has taken over from a manager who was here when we were relegated from the premier league and was given a much smaller budget in comparison to his predecessor. Slade was asked to move a lot of players on and keep us competitive - what Harris is being asked of this year.
Malky took over from a manager with a much bigger budget than he had, at least in his first year. Malky was asked to find a lot of players and keep us competitive - what Harris is being asked to do for next year.
That was my thinking.
he's still got a good head of hair
