CONFIRMED: “ NEW CARDIFF CITY MANAGER “

Shocking decision by the board. Going backwards. There should have been a plan in place to replace Warnock. This is just about the worst outcome. Why does the club not look at what is happening around the leagues, teams lower down than us playing football we can only dream of. This should have been the point where the board looked for an up and coming manager with a 3/5 plan and backed him. I have supported the club all my and I’m 55 I have supported the board since they took over, but this is trying my patients to the limit.

They took that approach with Trollope...didn’t go so well.

Cardiff City FC can confirm the appointment of Neil Harris as the Club's First Team Manager.

The 42-year-old has signed a deal at Cardiff City Stadium running until the summer of 2022.

What a waste , complete missed opportunity - fans will be divided by Xmas and we will be in division one by easter - HARRIS OUT

Ffs ................ the board knew at the start of the season that it would be Warnock's last and the best they can come up with is Neil Harris ????????
If the football is the same shite served up as the last couple of months under Warnock then the club deserves all the bad feeling it's certainly going to get in the coming months. I'm feckin fuming

Always seemed the likely appointment. I can see that some of the critics are the same people who wanted Warnock to resign. Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side. I am not going to jump on the bandwagon and say what a crap decision this is. Sometimes a manger and a club just fit together, and until he has had a chance here it is a bit unfair to complain before he has even managed one game for us. Not surprising though, this is normal for many of the forum members, but I just hope they are not calling for this one to be sacked if he doesn't win his first 6 consecutive games here. There used to be a time when we supported the club and gave all our managers and players a chance. Now, some are crucified before they even start here.

In four years at Millwall he took them to Wembley twice and kept them up in this b*stard of a league. He deserves this chance

You said you hoped fans would not be calling for his head after not winning his first 6 games
If we loose or draw then, we will be in relagation places, i think you will be hearing a lot of things on the terraces.

No, I said first six consecutive games, tongue in cheek. It seems as if only 18 points from his first 6 games would satisfy some of our fans.

people need to take a reality check mate...football is not a science and making knee jerk reactions based on very little is bonkers.
Fergie won only 1 of his first 6 league games at Man Utd.. including loses to oxford and Wimbledon ?
if he was here there would be an is it time to go poll..


that sort of stuff happens all the time in football yet it seems we have fans oblivious to it

EVERY CARDIFF CITY FAN SHOULD FULLY SUPPORT NEIL HARRIS FOR THE GOOD OF CARDIFF CITY

100% agree. He is our manager and deserves our support.

“I thought he may have taken a break. It’s a surprise that he wants to go back in. Cheap option sadly.

DOGFOUND


lets be honest its a far cry from what was stated by the board that we where going to give it a bloody good go to get back to the prem this season with our position in the table, players not playing for warnock, he leaves to have a go in scotland, and we pick up a manager who millwall did not fight to keep,and he seems to be a board appointment not a fans, all i see is the attendances going down if we start on a downward spiral.

I am a little concerned about some people not keeping their word about the announcement of the new manager.
A number of people ( fans and the media) were told in advance that it was going to happen but were asked to keep the news under a strict embargo until 2 p.m. today.

Annis you refer to someone telling you about it yesterday. On the assumption that you weren’t one of the ones told about it by the club, then whoever told you broke their word for reasons only they can explain and maybe they should although if they do I suspect they won’t be trusted by the owner or the senior management at the club in the future

And Ladbrokes reverted to their Trading Team and did not pay up as usual. Dodgy bets for those ITK must have lumped on!

Who are you?

Your 2nd post?


As to keeping it quite, I don’t speak to the club as I am not a lap dog or will never be bought off to get privileges.


I am my own independent person, Support the club and don’t need to be hush hush.


I get told stuff from people in and outside the club and always have for over 30yrs it will never stop.


If your boss Tan tells you all not to say anything then you must have a lot of moles.


I got told by two different people and why should I not put it out ?
I will never be bought off or silenced like people like you.


Our fans will always be told good or bad news directly as soon as I hear, as they are entitled to know, you are no better or more important than them.

We are all equal, who do you think you are , someone special?



As I said, two different people told me and I put it out last night, Guilty as charged

Your last two lines are ridiculous,when has a club thought " let's let the fans choose our next manager"? He wasn't my choice,but we have to back our manager whoever it happens to be,if he gets us into the play offs, I hope the people who have started slagging him off,come back and start a "we are sorry" thread.welcome to the mad house Mr Harris.
