Shame he had no clue how to set them up.
No appreciation from me although signings were his biggest strength.... I think that was the general feeling at Millwall as well.

But what about the transfer committee??
Why on earth did we let him go ?
And NML.
And Patterson
Dont get me started on Gavin Rae....
He clearly had the players to achieve a lot more. Had he been sacked a few weeks earlier you may already be in a play of position.
We’re a very fair, sportsmanlike club, would have been wrong to have sacked Harris earlier and be now pissing the league. In these troubled times it was humane of us to hang on and give the less fortunate a glimmer of hope before eventually unleashing the inevitable..... that’s us f*cked now
I’m not sure they were all his. When Ng and Watters signed they both thanked the chairman.
Seemed like a nice enough bloke, sadly though I’ve pretty much forgotten who he was now.
Magic Mick gives a huge amount of credit to TC. With Harris it was all about him. Maybe we have an ideal combination. A manager who is a motivator and a communicator and a coach who knows what he is doing.
Shouldn't be forgotten that run of form that saw him sacked saw us play Brentford and Swansea (best sides in the league on form at that time), Norwich twice (best side overall) and a QPR side in the middle of becoming the best in the league over the past eight games. For comparison, Bristol City were 9th in the league looking up before their fixture list got as tricky and now look at where they are.
Probably should also be said that this horrible spell followed a four game winning run, including wins against two play-off placing sides and top-half Luton, which itself followed mounting pressure based on some disappointing results and/or performances.
His record against worst sides in the league (specifically defeats against Wednesday on opening day, QPR away, Coventry away and Wycombe away) were the reason we weren't in play-off contention before he got sacked and performances against those aforementioned best sides why so many ready to see him go. But only one of those key defeats came in the weeks before he left.
It's also pretty clear that players and fans are happier now under MM.
Wonder if any Leicester MB’s had an appreciation thread for Nigel Pearson, after they won the Premier league? 😀
Maybe Harris should become a permanent scout for the City. He can certainly recognise potential even if he can’t always manage it on the playing field.
Definitely they all seriously think he was a big part in it. That season they were in the relegation zone under Pearson a lot seemed to think they were playing well enough to be no where near it.
He did sign most of that squad too, if his son hadn’t filmed himself shagging and abusing a Thai prostitute pearson would still be there although I’m sure they wouldn’t have won the league then.
