The CCFC Committee will think if we sack Harris we have to

Fri Jan 08, 2021 11:13 am

Just My Opinion:



The CCFC Committee ( Tan / Dalman & Choo ) will think if we sack Harris we have to pay Harris off and his backroom staff off and a new manager etc who will want new players.

Harris is content not to ask for any money or complain.

I can see them keeping harris as long as we look safe from going down as this is the cheapest way.

But remember this was our last year of the parachute payments which we had in October £36mill.

So should we have spent some of it and tried for promotion this year or last season?


Clubs like Norwich look like going back up.

Next year nothing.



If the crowds had been at the ground with these results Harris would of been beyond slated .


For me there is No ambition from above and it’s not just Harris and the first team, the U23 results awful, the U18 results awful,
The club has No forward plans after nearly £400 mill was brought in from two Prem promotions, money wasted .

Five years ago Tan/ Dalman stated Cardiff City would be total debt free, we are now more in debt than before Tan came.

They may be happy with him but the majority of us fans definitely aren't. This will show in season ticket sales if this clown is still in charge!

This can only be the one rational explanation as to why NH is still in charge. Added to the fact that our club could loose the Emilliano Sala case, then the financial implications are going to be profound,,, possibly for a long time to come.

I’m aware that paying off NH is not an issue.

It’s all about the timing apparently? Adding to this is can they get the man they need?

NH will play his strongest team for tomorrow! Let’s see if they play for him?

Trouble is it’s the same 3 discussing the issues and it really boils down to VT.

Harris has been extremely lucky in that no fans are allowed in the ground. Therefore has not had their frustrations taken out on him. Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

Surely he can't be on a huge contract, hes a midtable championship manager at best so his contract should reflect that.

VT is sleepwalking into a relegation battle just like with Trollope.

looking at things from from a different angle, NH, just like Russel Slade, was brought in to sort out problems that were inherited, sort out at minimum cost. When Slades contract expired, it was not renewed, even though he almost got us to a play off position.

My guess is that the transfer committee, and Neil Harris himself, are all hoping that all our key injured player are back playing in time to turn results around. As for new players in this month, will be lucky to see one or two loanees. We'll see!

One thing I will say, it will be very hard to integrate a new manager in current world events. We could easily be in a scenario at any moment where a manager will have limited contact with players due to regulations... Can't be easy team-building, planning and training in these circumstances. We may be rewarded with stability if we trust Neil Harris' transfer policy. I know I like his signings so far :thumbright: But performances on pitch from rest of team NOT good enough.

Exactly where I am on this. We all have our opinions on Harris, but the summer was one of the most exciting transfer windows in years. Unfortunately the results have been very poor over the last few weeks, but would replacing him improve that long term? I don't think so as getting rid of Harris would not solve our issues, there is too much work still to do.

Good investment in the squad with some quality (welsh) players.
Giving youth a chance in the team.

Both massive positives in my eyes with a good look to the future of this club and not just about the immediate return to the prem.

Re: The CCFC Committee will think if we sack Harris we have

His contract can’t be that much surly? Unless his agent is better that his management!

He’s got until end of the month I reckon.

No matter what happens it just makes supporting city far more interesting that a Prem team.

I can’t remember the last time it wasn’t exciting supporting city. Even with the ups and downs

You are right in what you say, but personally I go to the football to meet up with friends and support the team, irrespective of how they’re performing. If I wanted to watch good football, I would watch Barcelona on the TV.

Read Karl's posts a little closer; he has made comment on all you question ;)

The club have 'sounded out' their target(s) but that's as far as it has gone at this time...

Correct Chris, the club were ‘sounding out’ before we went on that recent run.

People without a clue on here thinking everybody at the club are sitting at home drinking coffee and watching The Crown on Netflix!

Paul, you know it, too... :thumbup:

One thing this club does well (or not so well, if you're trying to glean information for the media and Forum's like this) is keep things relatively tight

Information often comes through unusual sources and those sources can often be classed as 'solid'

Clearly, things change by the day and that gives some on here the opportunity to 'knock' louder than Hughie Green! :lol:

WE wont go down this season, there are no fans at the stadium to get on the manager or the players back.
They have no incentive to win as if they lose there is no one they have to into the eyes of - apart from themselves

If covid wasnt here and fans were back in the stadium - he'd be gone by now.

None of them have to face music. The club will keep him until his contract runs out or if gets us into the relegation zone - then he'll go.

From what I watched today - no tactics, no real style of play , no understanding of what they were supposed to be doing.

The dressing room has been lost - they were all just going through the motions today - thank feck we dont have to watch it for real

There should be plenty of money to pay off Harris, his staff and get a proper manager in.

Where’s the hundreds of millions of pounds gone?

He’s had 400 million into the club I saw on here. Probably more.

We shouldn’t be scratching round in the bargain basement.

Correct at least £400 mill had come in to the club from promotions etc and we are now more in debt than 11yrs ago.

Plus Tan/ Dalman stated 5yrs ago to this month Cardiff City will be debt fee, well we are now £80mill in debt and disastrous on the pitch.

2 wins of playoff place and 3 loses of relegation place. Quite a precarious position to be in with a weak squad and a limited tactics manager.

Frustrating thing is I think it’s a good squad.

Malky would have this squad top 6 easily. Probably top 2.

That’s my point on Malky those that argue that Malky only did well because he had money are wrong, you’ve still got to be a good manager :bluebird:

He was linked to Everton and Man Utd ffs.

You don’t get linked to Man Utd unless you are a top manager.

He’s young enough he will be back.
