The comment we want 35 shots a match, well you ain’t going to get that with Harris he is just a poor mans Warnock. Warnock knows what he is doing but with Harris I’m being told by Millwall lads it is very much hoof ball as he knows nothing different. I do think that we will be lucky to stay up with Harris at the helm.
Right if I offended anyone with my post I do apologise none meant an early post just woke and I’m a moody c**t then lol.
Yes we got to get behind him but I would have preferred Bellamy or there was a few other options available.
With Warnock gone I would want to see a different direction by hey ho. I feel it will backfire on the club as if we really struggle one our crowds will dip and next seasons season ticket sales will nose dive and then Tan will lose even more money.
This is a problem we have at the club no one to advise on appointing a new manager but looking at Harris CV would of told them that his credentials are not that good.
Harris has to take off running big time now or it will be very hard for him.


Good post.

Once again it’s the lack of football knowledge and judgement At board level that is the root cause here. Clearly Harris is not wanted by a huge majority of us. And by the board ignoring that they are playing a dangerous game. They are sending a message saying “we don’t care what you think”. These messages, mixed or not, cause divide and disillusionment just like the rebrand. We can either get our voices heard and vote with our feet and stay away, vote with our anger and boo the manager or the board, or try and find another way, push to get a place on the board just to get our preferred collective choices heard in the boardroom. I don’t know? I just want them to put together a realistic poll for fans to put together, Harris won’t be on there. He was never mentioned. Just to be considered would be something. Look at his CV, look at Millwall fans comments, Neil Harris isn’t attacking, won’t give you lots of shots, and isn’t lauded by his own fans who call him a legend as a player. However he isunattached, cheap and young. The only reasons I can see in this bland contradiction of an appointment.

Like your post heading, stuff is coming out of my mouth in fury, once again a hacked off and frustrated bluebird, who wants his comrades voices not to be ignored. And you know what? I haven’t seen hardly any unrealistic names mentioned on the forums and polls, it’s just anyone but Harris. But more importantly we need football men in that boardroom NOW

I'll start a 'Just Giving' page up and let's see if we can buy the guy out, shall we? :?

The Board are not as naive as some would have you think and you have to remember that the have been 'stung' at least twice by their managers, i.e. Milky McKay and (this hurts to say) Neil Warnock and his links to Secret Agent MacKay

I can only think that this appointment is born out of more than a little determination to avoid such a repeat and they will have done their research into the appointees managerial skills (to date), his character and his integrity

That has already been alluded to and had you read this Forum properly over recent months, the resignation of Neil Warnock wasn't the first time his departure had come close for a number of reasons...not all on-field related

Maccydee is right when he reminds the Goldfish that had it not been for Vincent Tan (via TG), we would likely not have a Championship (never mind twice Premier League) team to support right now

As I said elsewhere, I'm not insured by the appointment; but I will get behind him and the XI he selects :ayatollah:

Tan should sell the club now, its obvious he's not interested. As for NW leaving because of online posting.. most unlikely, but if it is true, glad he's gone.



I love these posters saying that tan should sell us now!! Can these fans please put forward a few names,as potential buyers? Moaning about a manager leaving is one thing,don't these posters realise,a new owner isn't waiting in the wings to buy us,and even if they were,what if they turned out like the yanks down the road,or even worse :shock: without him coming in and buying us,we could well be playing Barry town etc.he has given managers cash,and a lot has been pissed away,yet he still keeps us afloat.better the devil you know as the saying goes. :old: :bluebird:


All football clubs(except Newcastle) get sold.. Until the club is up for sale, potential buyers do not exist unless an offer comes first. Even then that is confidential. But you know that already.

Could well be playing Barry Town.. you been on the sauce?



except Newcastle is they key bit...not all clubs get sold. and certainly not all buyers of the ones that do are as good as this owner.
yes id like us to be Man City too. but we are not..
as it stands TAN hardly attends im sure he would accept a half decent offer. and Dalman would seemingly leave for pastures new if the opportunity arose ..so maybe they have been trying to sell it......

The thing is Cardiff needed NW more than he needed us,as soon as he felt the tide turning he probably thought “f**k this I’m off”,he doesn’t need the grief,been there done it at bigger and better clubs than us.
Would love to know the list of applicants.

He has got a lot less stick from the supporters considering how poor we have been for most of the season.
Everyone is grateful for job he has done in the last few years but all good things come to an end.....it’s time for a fresh face but that doesn’t make Warnock any less of a legend ....he’s the best manager we had in decades and would be guaranteed a huge welcome whenever he comes back to city....
Good luck to him and to whoever comes in.
I have felt fir the last month that it has been time for a change


How poor we have been?

We are a good run away from the play offs.


Been said all season and we’ve drifted further away from the top 6.




its also been true all season..our season was alive and kicking but reading this board youd swear we were bottom 3..
every time our form has slipped he had turned it around...nobody did it better..
besides more teams do not bounce straight back than do. but expectations here were way way to high.. and most of what people call facts even trump would be embarrassed to put his name to.


We havnt managed back to back wins this season we were never in form for it to dip. We were all waiting and hoping for him to turn it around but it never happened. If it didn’t click after a 1/3 of the season it wasn’t going to happen. Same tactics, same poor results and performances. The table doesnt lie, we have been poor all season. If you don’t think we have been poor then you are either blind, pissed or watching the wrong team.

I didn’t expect Us to go straight back up but we should be pushing top 6 with the money warnock has spent. He has spent £80mill+ on this squad. Many have barely featured and many have been loaned out, the board weren't happy with this. We are 14th in the table, no back to back wins, 1 win in 6, not won away from home and the performances have not been good enough. Out of those facts which ones are embarrassing and which ones are the fans fault?

We were days from going bust. Proper bust.

We would have no divine right to re-entry into the English pyramid as a different club.

It’s not too far fetched to say we would have played Barry.



Some people have selective memory when it comes to Tan.he probably thinks there was a queue of billionaire business men just waiting in the wings :lol: maybe he thinks we would be top four in the prem :laughing5: :old: :bluebird:

People actually believe Neil Warnock a football manager for over 30 years has left Cardiff City because of what a handful of people have posted on a Messageboard.

Brilliant I always knew there was some people on here with loads of self importance but that’s really embarrassing.

We were having crowds of 30k plus last season but Warnock left because of a message board with maybe 100 posters 25 of them being a mentally ill Swansea fan :lol: :lol: :lol:


I know it's terrible, poor Neil I bet hes suffering with all that hounding.

His time had come and the board knew it.
