Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 3:18 am

Really hope all the Neil Warnock bashers are really happy with themselves ? Because it now looks like Neil Harris will be appointed our new manager today.
Millwall fans I know and let’s be fair here Harris is considered a legend at the Den say in management he is clueless.
You’ve hounded out a manager that is going through a bad streak yes but Warnock is a proven manager, but make no mistake we will go backwards with Harris.
You wanted a dynamic manager and now with typical city Style we have a very cheap option.
.Let’s see in say two months time if you are wishing we had back the one man that was MR CARDIFF CITY ?
I’m Fuming thanks guys what have you done ?

This is a reply I had about Harris from a wall mate. Be worried

Steve , your spot on , Harris is a legend at millwall
I’m sorry to say this chaps, but Harris is out of he’s depth in this division , he only knows the long ball game , and trust me , it’s very painful to watch
We topped the national league of conceding late goals , because we only ever had around 30% possession, thus the players are fucked , come the last ten mins

I wish Harris all the best but I think it’s a bad move for Cardiff !!

Gutted Warnock has gone, but I definitely felt it was time for him to go, he wasn't doing the club any favors staying on for this season. The best Cardiff manager since I've been supporting them, but I wanted him gone, unfortunately. It's one of those things where my heart didn't want him to go but my head desperately wanted him to. We have played some of the worst stuff I've ever seen us play this season, even worse than Trollope/Ole/Slade at times (and I mean that).

I'm not in charge of the football club, but I wanted Warnock to go first and foremost, and the next manager will get my support, however none of us wanted Neil Harris, of-course not. You can't blame the Warnock "outers" for Neil Harris being appointed. Wether Harris is a good appointment or a bad one (I believe a bad one, but will give him a chance), there's no denying Warnock had to go. So with that said, grow up mate.

The same fans that wanted Warnock out will soon be calling for a Harris head soon :laughing6:

Who's actually hounded him out? Half a dozen or so on here is nothing.

I've not heard any 'Warnock out' chants at home games, never heard any anti Warnock singing either just a few boo's because we lost two important derby games.

I dont read the Fakebook crap so cant speak for that nonsense. I was one who wasnt adverse to him leaving now or at the end of the season but with a manager who could take us in a different direction/style. If it is Harris then I dont think he will achieve that.

I can tell you for a fact that the board were not happy with him but though.

If a couple of fans on a message board having a gripe is * hounding out * he can't have much balls !!

He walked wasn't sacked and very convenient that after saying ..
If we not in with a chance of play offs I'd consider my position.
I would love to manage in Edinburgh

We are 14th and Hearts ( and Hibs ) jobs become vacant.

Nukes, I m usually with you on most things but not this one mate. :thumbup:
Absolutely HATED the hoofball and much more to come if Annis' contacts are right :(

I am very happy that Warnock is gone, should have been 12 months ago. I have been saved from the fatigue of watching that dirge for another 6 months. Great

I am fuming over Harris appointment, I want to know why? The managers we could have spoke to and taken our time, this is a terrible decision following the correct decision in releasing Warnock.

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:13 am

Who's 'you lot'? A tiny amount of people on the Internet have made some comments about Warnock.
He wanted to go, he's gone, nothing to do with the fans.

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:29 am

I for one have certainly not hounded him out. I wanted him gone the last game after the season he got us promoted because he was never realistically going to keep us in premier league. For me that was a free season where the club had the opportunity to build a new identity and there were some young new managers looking fo start there careers like Lampard and Gerrard.

We missed the boat and continued to play the worst football I have seen done the City for years this season has been awful to say the least.

What you have to remember is if you were aware Neil you would have known that Warnock knew his timing was coming and over the last few months had already started touring himself for new roles.

I don’t see that as being hounded our in anyway.

Spot on

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 8:46 am

I wanted him out, it’s not the fans fault the board lack ambition. We are a decent size club to attract a higher calibre manager than those mentioned. This is a time to change the footballing policy of the team and club if only the board grasp the opportunity. Come on Tan, show the ambition.

I run a tight ship at Cardiff , if you don’t perform then you are out . Simple as that . You are only as good as your last game .
Yours sincerely

Personally I always thought he should have gone on promotion but also don't think now is the time to replace him but the decision was made.

I don't think people can be blame for a poor appointment and I don't think that makes him leaving right or wrong either. Fans aren't in control of the Harris appointment which on large fans are against it would seem.

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 9:29 am

people pay to watch and are totally allowed to voice their opinion. Having said that, I would say Warnock decided to leave and it had nothing to do with disgruntled fans

We were going backwards under warnock. This wasn’t a bad run of games, it was a third of season and nothing was changing. The board were unhappy with his spending and the performances and results were very poor. That is nothing to do with the fans, that’s down to Warnock himself. The appointment of Harris, if true, is nothing to do with the fans either. The majority of people on this forum don’t want him.

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Warnock was not “hounded out” it was plain to see by everyone including himself that the team just wasn’t performing under his stewardship

He himself knew it was time to go and if I’m honest the fans have been brilliant with him and he received very little criticism from the terraces as he is held in such high regard by most fans. I’m not sure they would have been this lenient with anyone else

If Harris is the new manager (and it’s not confirmed yet) the choice is completely underwhelming, but I’m not sure you can blame the fans for that!!

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 9:53 am

I’m with Nukes on this.

It was a lot who turned against Warnock. He reads the message boards. He said he would go when it started to turn and it started to turn. A poll clearly showed that.

Bristol City and Millwall recently was some of the best football played all season so it was turning.

But don’t worry. The record for this regime is every 4 managers they get one that works so in three managers time we will get someone good.

The terraces weren’t turning but the traitorous fucks on here who jumped on him every time we lost a couple of times were.

Backwards from when? When he took us over? That’s bullshit.

He deserved time to sort it out. A lot longer than many on here gave him.

It’s not just this season, give him any money to spend and it appears wasted, from madine on none of the big buys have worked out have they?

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 10:43 am

He didnt go because a few people wanted him out
You only had to look at him in the games to show his passion wasnt there as it used to be
Personally i think his usual tactics wasn't working anymore
Alot of these up and coming managers can get around his tactics as shown a lot of our games this season
I have questioned alot of his tactics and team selections this year to be honest, dont know if he was over thinking or didnt know what he was doing
Lets be fair he aint been the same after the sala plane crash and im not surprised !

But overall im grateful what he done got us out of the s**t, got us to premier league and left us in a better place so cant complain
Just hope whoever comes in can do something different with our squad as we have talent there! Just his tactics isnt used for our attackers!

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 10:52 am

I agree well done there is still people saying it was the right time for Warnock to go. what rubbish you have to give managers time under Warnock the team played rubbish and Warnock turned it around even the season we got promoted but no people wanted better football they our strikers were good but Warnock played the wrong football well Zorhore and all players who have left proved that to be rubbish too.

We are in for a tough time sorry and unless Tan pays a lot of money for a decent manager and give him the chance to get rid of a few players and buy a few we are rotten in the lower part of the championship and sadly looking down

Re: Hope you lot are really happy with yourselves?

Sat Nov 16, 2019 10:57 am

Deffo not hounded in the terraces but was online but it was inevitable that any replacement would be a very cheap option but I am guessing this is down to the Sala legal situation. 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
