If the reports about the players coming here are true is he?
Some of the utter drivel posted elsewhere in the last week is not suprising. The amount of people falling for it perhaps is. I mean yet again.!!!
If he signs Watters, Guilbert and Hourihane he might be able to play the way he wants as well. The one area Harris has exceeded expectations is his transfers. They've been very good so far.
Agreed, Moore has been a fantastic signing, Wilson is a good signing (and could yet still turn out to be a great one), Ojo has been decent and Osei-Tutu was excellent until his injuries
The playoffs are gone at this point, but a strong second half of the season will probably see him keep his job
I think you're right but one wonders whether he still has the confidence of the players currently at his disposal.
I've said in a different thread that his signings have been good but it's another matter what he does with them once they've signed up.
If all else fails, keep him on as a Chief Scout and get someone else in who's more tactically astute to manage the team !
Amazing how many managers are in that job simply because it's the most high profile and not because it fits their skills. Bellamy's interviews make him sound ideal for a DoF role, Lee Johnson would be a much better youth team coach than senior team manager and Harris etc. might (I'm still in the "ask the question at the end of the year" camp) be a better scout than manager.
I'd say some kind words are due towards Vincent Tan as well. Not many clubs are shelling out £1m on players right now...
1m on a league Two player.
Harris should have gone at the start of Jan to give a new manager a time to build.
I still think Harris will keep us up but it will be playing terrible football.
Nope nor should he , it takes us no where .
He deserves to see the season out , this current climate is not the perfect conditions to test the ability of either managers or players .
If anyone thinks changing a manager and not giving the incoming manager a vast transfer kitty to overhaul the team/ squad is bonkers .
We'd be just handing the same problem over to another manager with his hands tied behind his back .
It could have gone the other way if he came to the City and failed and didn't progress .
He was no spring chicken when he signed for Leicester, the momentum of Leicester and its better players played a big part in his elevation , he only scored 5 goals in his first season and nearly left Leicester for Ibiza .
Think Vardy was in the right place at the right time , right club. Leicester and Vardy story is one for Roy of the Rovers , many players and clubs ,before and after have failed .
Well that is just rubbish.
Have you never heard of the new manager bounce? That doesn’t require a load of new signings. What happened when Warnock arrived? Did he spend loads of money? Of course not. (He may have squanders a load subsequently but not when he first arrived and results improved)
Good managers get more from what they have and/or improved players by decent man management and coaching, and don’t rely solely on buying players. (Er, Clough taking second division also rans to double European Champions etc) so your comments don’t make sense.
This point has been made endlessly.
