He did say some daft things though.
"I've shown, in my managerial career, that if I'm given time then I can be successful," Harris said after the match.

And therein lies the problem.
What he did here is no surprise. His win percentage was not far off what he achieved at Millwall. His playing style wasn't that different to what he produced at Millwall.
It makes you wonder what the three who picked him thought he was going to achieve here?
The cheap option again it seems which has turned into an expensive pay off again.
It was ultimately the right decision but we shouldn't forget what he was aiming for. Next manager isn't going to have it easy thanks to mismanagement before Harris arrived but will have it easier, in the long run, due to Harris' time at the club.A really good man, a pleasure to deal with and tried his best to change things from the ground up. Really admired his passion for youth and desire to see the academy flourish and I'm sure rewards will be reaped in time.
But, as he also knew, it's ultimately a results business and they have simply not been good enough.
Injuries have not helped, but the football flipped and flopped from one style or system to another.
Just couldn't strike the right balance and ultimately the price has been paid

(and we shouldn't forget that his winning percentage has only just dropped below what Warnock managed here).
The right call. We need a spark and I'd go with Bellamy. It's time...
40% win record is not to be sniffed at.
Malkys time with Cardiff was a success and his win record was 43%.
His record at Watford before he got the job was 33%
if people think we are going to get a manager with a win rate much above 40% they are seriously, seriously deluded.
Might be time from our point of view but what makes us an attractive option now? This year we're at a risk of going down and next year our midfield is still going to struggle. That doesn't cry out as a good first managerial job when you're enjoying working in Belgium.
We're really after a caretaker to get us to end of the year in this league and offer enough of a budget to change our midfield for next year to new manager.
I can see why it could have been thought a good thing. We've been through some extremes in playing "style": OGS and Trollope vs Mackay, (Slade) and Warnock. It's expensive to make wholesale changes in players every other manager. They probably thought that he was a slightly more modern Warnock that could have steered the team to a more modern game.
He also didn't have a 40% win record here.
I'd just like to say thank you Mr Harris for your services to the club.
You must have known it wouldn't be an easy ride inheriting a bunch of players failing as a team. Getting us to the play offs last year was no mean achievement.
You brought a few good boys in but unfortunately it wasn't quite enough.
I have no doubt you gave it your best shot.
I wish you good luck for the future.
Possibly.
If they weren't his boys, and it seems to make sense, then it could be that whoever comes in will just have to work with what he's got and continue getting the big wage earners off the books.
I sincerely hope not and that they have some "proper" plan in mind!
