David Livermore joins Neil in the dugout as Assistant Manager, while James Rowberry and Andy Dibble continue in the back-room team as First Team Coach and Goalkeeping Coach respectively.

Kevin Blackwell and Ronnie Jepson depart the Welsh capital with the Club’s sincere thanks and best wishes.

Neil will oversee training at the Vale Resort on Monday ahead of his first City match away to Charlton Athletic on Saturday, 23rd November.

Upon Neil’s arrival, Tan Sri Vincent Tan said: “I am pleased to appoint Neil as First Team Manager of the Club.

“I have full confidence in Neil due to his principles on and off the pitch and enthusiasm to succeed. I am glad to offer him this opportunity and look forward to seeing what he is capable of achieving with Cardiff City.”

Chairman Mehmet Dalman said: “Neil is a passionate manager who has all of the right attributes to take the helm at Cardiff City. I know he’s eager to get to work and we look forward to seeing him strive to get the best out of our tight-knit and talented group of players.”

Executive Director & CEO Ken Choo said: “We’re excited to welcome Neil to Cardiff City Stadium. He will work hard to deliver for this Football Club and is a manager with the ambition and potential to lead the Bluebirds forward.”

Oh god here we go again. Hope I’m wrong but fearing the worst

Oh shit ! Can I get a refund on season ticket ?

There are no words...

I'll give him support as always. But he's got a lot of proving to do!!

Certainly not excited.

News flashed up on my phone for about a second then disappeared, any chance it’s April the 1st??

That’s us fucked we will be looking for a new manager in couple of months I can see it now

This is not a step forward by the club. But he is here now so time to get behind him. Will have to hit the ground running as I don’t think many fans are happy with this appointment.

It is what it is. Time to move on. A clubs for life, not just Christmas ( unlike the manager).

Welcome aboard Neil,,, you have a Very Big Job here,,, and a very hard Act to follow!

Absolute joke of a appointment !

They obviously dont give a shit what fans think, they have just taken us 3 steps backwards in one swoop

Give him a chance of course but I am hugely underwhelmed. If there is not a bounce in results this month, with relatively good fixtures on paper he and the board will come under great pressure. Huge gamble. But give him a chance.

There are no words...

Deano,

Every time I put news out you virtually say it’s bullshit, then disappear for a month

Welcome Neil I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with our squad.

Another 3 seasons of hoof ball, bad move by the club this could turn the fans away in big numbers next season.

At least the players don't have to get used to a different first name

KARMA IS A BITCH!!!! BEST OF LUCK THOUGH MR HARRIS.

We have no choice do we its the cheapest choice too very sad but again shows we have people who are running the club have no football knowledge.

But have to be honest I wasn't thrilled or excited by any of the names

Is what it is, not his fault that the board have given him the opportunity. Let’s get behind the man!!

Very dissapointed and frustrated by this appointment. And that’s angled at Tan/Dalman/Choo. I want them to explain this decision, what is the reasoning we deserve to know. I am not excited at all. Was he first choice? We’re others turning us down?

Nonetheless, welcome to Cardiff Neil.

And good luck

Welcome and good luck. Ignore the vast majority of keyboard warrior wankers on here

Warnock back in march to triumphantly save us from relegation before retirement!!???

Another 3 seasons of hoof ball, bad move by the club this could turn the fans away in big numbers next season.

Hoofball got us promoted

That tells me they got no intentions of paying the sala money so they have brought him in to get us through 3 transfer window bans league 1 here we come the board are pathetic

3 years of reuniting a fractured fan base and the club rip it apart in one awful move.

Get ready for 12-14k attendances next season

We have no choice do we its the cheapest choice too very sad but again shows we have people who are running the club have no football knowledge.

But have to be honest I wasn't thrilled or excited by any of the names

its not Jose.. but its not the cheap option either..im sure flunn, ainsworth, bellamy etc would be cheaper..

Welcome and good luck. Ignore the vast majority of keyboard warrior wankers on here

Keyboard warrior wankers what people having a opinion and there wankers u wan have look in mirror before u judge

Good luck Neil but I guess you have 6 games before the vultures start circling, sincerely hope im wrong.

Has Slade written over it all over again

Not who I would have chosen but more than willing to give him a chance to turn it around.

Obviously the hope is that he played the long ball at Millwall to suite the players he had at his disposal and that he is adaptable.

Fingers crossed that he’ll prove most of us wrong.

This is far from the safe choice for the club as Harris won’t have the benefit of the doubt that perhaps a more popular choice might have had.

Interesting times ahead I think.

Oh shit ! Can I get a refund on season ticket ?

You go for it, fella (the refund)

I'm not exactly enamoured with this appointment but I've never abandoned my club in my lifetime and I won't be doing it now

I'll get behind Neil Harris in the hope he 'does the business' for us and even more so, I'll get behind the XI on the pitch; something else that has been lacking by many in recent times

He's here and he'll do his best; of that, I am sure

Welcome, Neil 'Arris!

Very dissapointed and frustrated by this appointment. And that’s angled at Tan/Dalman/Choo. I want them to explain this decision, what is the reasoning we deserve to know. I am not excited at all. Was he first choice? We’re others turning us down?

Nonetheless, welcome to Cardiff Neil.

And good luck

You never get clubs saying why they didn't appoint a certain manager! Besides fans on here had very little in way of confirmed interest in our vacancy by anyone only wishful thinking from fans.
