Shrewsbury next season then ffs, not quite the big push back to the prem, experience of Houghton and we sign another rookie like ogs, swansea must be laughing at us.

Ah well club could have moved for a much bigger name someone who was actually in work instead we go for the cheap option and someone who's not long been fired hope im wrong but let's see I suppose let's face it alex neil bowyer hughton sparky pulis Ainsworth jokanovic would have had mike flynn over harris but let's see what future brings

Hopefully he can prove a lot of people wrong.

Not mine but let’s get behind him.

I knew this was going to happen knowing our board and looking at the bookies who normally have a decent idea. Not a surprise, I’m gonna moan to mates today (already had a few texts from jacks laughing at us) then get back to supporting tomorrow. At the very least it’s a change and before a ball is kicked On Saturday there’s still a chance he’s the new Guardiola!!

Puzzled by the appointment ! Warnock gone and Cardiff had numerous alternative manager options. I can only assume the Owners went for Harris because he wouldn’t demand a transfer kitty. This appointment means the Owners are tightening their belts and don’t have the cash to invest...

Managed 248 won 102 drawn 67 lost 79 win % of 41.1

I tend to agree with others on here that it looks like the club are planning for a 3 window transfer ban as all of the other managers mentioned would have asked for money in Jan to push for promotion.

If they are planning that, we will go further backwards .

No doubt the cheapest option again. The club is happy to float around the championship. Give him a chance and see what happens. If he doesn't step up to the mark and the football doesn't improve then don't go to the stadium. :bluescarf:

I like to think I'm a positive person (when it comes to Cardiff City) My glass is always nearly full, some on here don't even have a glass ;) .
I will be 100% behind Neil Harris , I really don't know much about him TBH.

But it's a clean slate and a fresh start, for all the players
At least he shouldn't have any favourite's and the team should be picked on merit (hopefully).

Who knows our form may pick up, perhaps the coaching by NW, KB and RJ was getting stale ?

Maybe Neil Harris and his staff may have new ideas and tactics ?

All we can do is support the team and new manager, and at least give him a little time.

Re: OFFICIAL " NEIL HARRIS NAMED MANAGER "

Here is what a mate of mine said, decent bloke, genuine Millwall fan pretty knowledgeable.

Not sure mate to be honest. His style is to allow opponents to have possession and then counter attack. He had very little money at Millwall to be fair. He likes a small tight knit squad but again this could have been due to financial constraints. He does give youth a chance and wants all team ages to play same brand of football. He has not cost anything to bring in and could be a good fit for Cardiff. Give him a go.


Sounds like a poor mans Warnock to me, but may give some of the youngsters a chance.

No vision with this appointment.... but best of luck to him....no commitment to a premier league push by the sounds of it ...hope he proves me wrong

Re: OFFICIAL " NEIL HARRIS NAMED MANAGER "

Sat Nov 16, 2019 3:03 pm

Anyone know what contract hes on and what he has to do ?

I think this would be a great start to engage

No excited at this, but we still have to get behind him. (it's a fans job and pledge ain't it?)

Had this from a Millwall fan of many years....

"Long ball game, no tactics, poor substitutes - lost loads of games in last 10 minutes by letting sides come at us.
But hey, he’s a nice bloke."

Great eh? :banghead:

You dont plan for something that wont happen unless you think club wants to be relegated and just use academy players? Tan maybe cutting costs but cutting his own throat certainly is not in his plans....
