Was Harris Warnock's self-appointed successor

Neil Warnock: Nuno's done a great job at Wolves
By Tim Spiers | Wolves | Published: Apr 5, 2018

Neil Warnock has praised Nuno ahead of Wolves' top-two shootout with Cardiff – but didn't vote for him in the manager of the year award.

Warnock, who was named as the Championship manager of the season this week, said: "I didn’t vote for him as manager of the season, but he’s I think done a great job. I voted for Neil Harris if I’m honest, I think he’s done a remarkable job with very limited resources."

Warnock is now favourite to take on the Hearts job. Was the original plan to step down as manager at the end of the year and take over as Director of football with his chosen successor Harris taking over as manager or possibly at Christmas if things weren't going well. Things weren't going well and he announced his interest in managing in Scotland and is it coincidence that a series of events resulted in him leaving early and the club altogether with a new challenge he always fancied being put to him?

On 10.09.19 Warnock mentioned to the press that he always fancied the challenge of taking on Celtic & Rangers by managing a side like Heart and Hibs who were both struggling at the time. It's not inconceivable that he was contacted by both clubs especially considering things weren't going as planned at City and there was a likelihood he would leave at Christmas as he stated he would

On 03.10.19 Harris leaves Millwall somewhat expectantly

Neil Harris has stepped down from his role as manager of Millwall days before the club host Leeds United.

Harris has been at the helm for four and a half years and is the club’s top scoring striker with 138 goals, who won them promotion to the Championship in 2017 as manager and reached the FA Cup quarter-finals twice.

His departure will come as a massive blow to the club, former Millwall striker Tony Cascarino said.

“He’s rebuilt the squad and added a lot of players to that team and to step down now seems very odd,” he told talkSPORT.

“I know they’ve been on a difficult run of late, but I just feel there must be something deeper for Neil to step down.

“What I do know is that he has been a hell of a good manager for Millwall and it’s a massive blow to that football club.”

Millwall came through the League One play-offs in 2017, beating Bradford 1-0 in the final. The same season they beat Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester to reach the last eight of the FA Cup before a 6-0 defeat by Tottenham.

Last season they also made the last eight, beating Everton but then losing to Brighton on penalties.

Harris’ assistant David Livermore has also left the club, with first-team coach Adam Barrett placed in temporary charge. He will occupy the hotseat for Saturday’s clash with Championship high-fliers Leeds.

Chairman John Berylson said in a statement on millwallfc.co.uk: “Firstly I would like to place on record my sincere gratitude to Neil for all of his hard work, commitment, determination and inarguable success as manager of this great football club.”

Berylson’s statement continued: “During his time in charge we have achieved so much and so many of his greatest moments as manager will live long in the memory of all Millwall fans fortunate to have seen and enjoyed them.

“Neil’s achievements ensure that he is listed alongside some of the club’s greatest-ever managers, furthering his legendary standing at Millwall.”

“Both Neil and David leave with their heads held high, forever friends of the club, and I wish them both every success in their future careers. They will always be welcome at The Den.”

On 31.10.19 Hearts sack their manager

On 04.11.19 Hibs sack their manager

On reflection, Harris has done a tremendous job on less of a budget than Warnock and just maybe he can achieve success with this squad and some new players in January. Not the football I or many others want to see but if he can get the players to play like they did the year we went up I will be happy.

No he wasn’t

No he wasn’t

So whose choice do you think he was and why?

No he wasn’t

So whose choice do you think he was and why?

The Cardiff City board’s they probably think he’s the best person available for the job at this moment in time.

Makes perfect sense and explains how it happened so quickly

the big hole in it is...Neil Harris gives up his job not knowing how our results or the 2 Scottish teams results are going to pan out..
its agood conspiracy theory though

He left Millwall at that time as he was on a losing run, couldn’t do no more with what he had and the fans who saw him as a hero were turning against him. At the time he was probably aware that Warnock was planning on going at Christmas so it was a good time to step down

No he wasn’t

So whose choice do you think he was and why?

The Cardiff City board’s they probably think he’s the best person available for the job at this moment in time.

Yes I agree on the recommendation of Warnock for the reasons mentioned above

But Dalman has already said Warnock has nothing to do with it

it does and doesn't make sense . NW has changed his mind a number of times regarding retirement...not sure he would be so keen to leave xmas time if our form had taken an upturn..
