Update: ‘ Chris Wilder & Neil Harris ‘

I have been told today that 100% Chris Wilder has turned us down due to No finances and wanted total control of the team etc


Neil Harris was approached as I had previously said, but does not want to return and will continue to be paid monthly.


I believe Mick McCarthy has agreed a settlement of £900,000 in instalments over the next year.




I read someone said Neil Harris could not of been offered the job as if he was and said No they could stop Paying him

Harris was sacked and is being paid monthly, if he he asked back and says No then that has nothing to do with his previous contract and City still have to keep paying him.

Plus when MP Dalman laughed when asked about Harris was on the list, Harris had been asked in the final 10 days of Mick being in charge and had said NO by the time the meeting took place on Saturday.


Also as everyone knows you actually can’t take anything Dalman says seriously.

Well if that's the case it's down to Hudson, Beale or Morison (if we show signs of progress in nest 3 games) for me.

Time for the club, and us fans !, to be brave and hold our nerve whilst we give a younger guy a chance to change the philosophy.

The requirement for this season is just to stay up, then show progression during a pretty significant re-build of the squad.

Agree. I’m expecting there to be more in the frame than those 3 though.

1 How much has the Board's incompetence cost the club by just going for the "easy" manager choices as opposed to getting a good manager.

2 If the manager doesn't have control of the team, who does as nobody on the Board seems to have a clue?

Their are over 40 managers who have applied from Mark Bowen to even Warren Feeney have applied.

Just watched u23’s against Charlton on CCFC .Excellent stuff.Really hope Morison has a storming three games.

Understand Harris's reasoning.. but wilder? How many clubs have got money to spend those that have money not looking for manager or not likely needing one in near future...
As for outside interference must have spoken to warnock Harris mick and uncle John cobbly and all or looks at this forum... but if thats his motivation "MONEY" glad he's not coming had enough of managers p+++++g money in wind with crap players on high wages.

Andrew, you would not believe how many managers have applied for the job. and several of them are very good managers!

Well people have said we are not a good catch so guess managers thought it was a rouge to put them off? So better apply in case missing out on something good....

Who are the very good managers who have applied for the job?

Wilder clearly has been told what it’s like working for VT. Harris still getting paid and wouldn’t come back anyway….is it a job anyone wants?

It's what I have been reliably told, but not any names, there are now over 50 managers interested!

Roger if that is anywhere near true there is obviously managers in jobs that have expressed interest through their agent? As not that many managers out of work??

Allan I think you can write many of those out, as there are people throwing their hat in the ring that have no chance of getting anywhere near, the job!

Allan, you and I could apply and as long as we agree to be yes men we have a chance.
Yes their are 40-50 managers applied but I honestly some of the names Barry Town would not even let them have an interview.

Wilder clearly has been told what it’s like working for VT. Harris still getting paid and wouldn’t come back anyway….is it a job anyone wants?

40 odd managers interested

Not me annis had enough being a yes man before I retired? why would anyone apply if know they don't have nessasary skills or experience? Or are we such a big club they couldn't resist...

Why would Neil Harris come back, effectively being furloughed and paid a whopping great salary. Not convinced with Wilder anyway, wasted a crazy amount of money at Sheff United on Brewster, Mousset and McBurnie, and his old timers in Billy Sharp and McGoldrick have done a better job. That said, he's done a great job with no budget historically.

Hasn’t Dalman admitted he’s a small bit player at the club, same goes for Choo, with neither even being an influencer, so the only way we’re going to get a decent manager is for Tan to pick up the phone and convince his chosen one that there is a future that doesn’t involve spiralling down the leagues. Without this it appears that the only option is appointing a manager from within, this is also the cheapest option and in line with Dalman’s comments. If it’s true that Harris turned us down, it feels like a nightmare that you can’t wake up from.

I read someone said Neil Harris could not of been offered the job as if he was and said No they could stop Paying him

Harris was sacked and is being paid monthly, if he he asked back and says No then that has nothing to do with his previous contract and City still have to keep paying him.

Plus when MP Dalman laughed when asked about Harris was on the list, Harris had been asked in the final 10 days of Mick being in charge and had said NO by the time the meeting took place on Saturday.

I'm not an expert in Employment Law and we don't know the full details of that final agreement. But if it was the sort of "gardening leave" type agreement, if he was to be offered that same role back and refused it that might well effect whether he continued to get paid by us.

Whatever the case I'm glad he's not coming back

Harris was properly sacked / dismissed.

City have been paying him monthly.

How do people on here know who have applied for the job ???

How is it down to just those three?
I bet we have far more to choose from than just those three names. And we don't even know for sure if they applied.

Let me get this right.. Neil Harris said no to us. That's a new low.

Steve Morrison into 3/1 joint fav for the Cardiff job

Morison 3/1 joint fav for the job now

Let me get this right.. Neil Harris said no to us. That's a new low.
