But results have improved from Harris despite what looks a weaker squad
Youngsters have been used for the first time in years
Signings aren't at the end of their careers though some pace in the team is much needed

Am I overjoyed with him no but to call for his dismissal from what he's done so far is ridiculous

I’ll tell you exactly. I want him to care and I want him to try. I’ll forgive anything if we get that but this casual smarmy attitude every time he cocks up can’t ever change anything. Generally I don’t like sacking managers and I think it’s better to let them establish continuity and correct stuff but in my opinion based upon over sixty years observing people’s attitudes I think he cares only about a pay cheque and if he did for example get us relegated he’d move on and never give it another thought.

This is exactly what Roy Keane said, and having now seen the way MM operates I’m afraid I agree completely.
