Maybe he’s had another fight. Jazz, Peltier, Tomlin & Pack, Patterson & Bacuna all had a scrap. Now Big Bamba’s got involved by scrapping with the under 18’s side after “Having too much of a high line” making Bamba run back all the time.

Apparently Whyte bottled Adomah because of a misunderstanding. Whyte thought Adomah couldn’t be bothered to turn up for the Forest game but after bottling Adomah, Neil Harris explained that he couldn’t play against his parent club, and then Harris bottled Whyte with a glass bottle of Ribena to even the odds on behalf of Adomah since Albert didn’t want to retaliate as he wants to make a good early impression at his new club.

In other news Murphy has started speaking to other managers trying to get them to take over Cardiff, and Harris heard of this so he’s gone to Port Talbot to Murphys house and has reportedly smashed up his living room and stolen 6 pairs of Josh Murphys running shoes.

I’m not a manager obviously so I’m not saying I would do a better job, but It doesn’t look good for Neil Harris at the moment. He seems to be starting fights with everyone. I think he threw some fists at some young teenagers asking him for a picture after the Forest game.

He needs someone else to help him out and share out the media stuff because he can’t keep fluffing up his lines... he’s terrible.. contradicts himself repeats the great squad spin and mumbles.. whatever’s he like in dressing room I don’t know ?!

Seems like something bad going on behind the scenes unfortunately

What I’d give for us to hire an manager who actually presses from the front for once and actually leaves players forward when defending corners. Along with encouraging midfielders to make runs to get into the box when we are on the attack. Is that too much to ask for?

Probably something the club is not telling us like the result in whatever Bacuna and Paterson were fighting about. Or that Harris has fallen out with most the players and potentially walk away due to the dressing room arguing. Either way this does not look good.

Mind you this is just us fans jumping to conclusions after what happened with Callum and Bacuna so maybe its nothing and he had something else to do. At the end of the day we fans will never know trully why he cancelled.

As you say mate, it could be absolutely nothing sinister at all.

So do lesser teams like Wycombe. Who we could have hired their manager instead of Harris. Pretty much what took Eddie Howes Bournemouth from league 2 to the premier league as well.

Harris is a shambles. Didn't want him then don't want him now.

But we’ve got him for the foreseeable future so we should support the team / club now surely mate.

Did Norwich spend 800 million to get promoted playing that football last year?

Answer no.

I don't feel sorry for him at all.

He knew exactly what he was coming in to. He knew that there would be little or no money available to him and he knew he would have to trim the squad.

Yet still he insists that the squad is full of quality, even referring Jazz Richards recent performances as "outstanding" :o

I'm sorry but for me he is just another Russell Slade - a cheap option for the club who jumped at the opportunity to have a go at the biggest job he will ever be offered in his managerial career.

I don't blame him for that but I certainly have no sympathy for him either.

no and they didn't play as you described either...

Lets hope this cancellation is the first of many.. Football managers don’t like them, and no-one here likes mediawales.

It makes good sense imo..

Harris has done himself no favours by doing them , that's for sure..
but previous managers haven't exactly sounded the font of knowledge doing them either...
its nice for fans to be updated on injuries etc but im sure this could be done by thought out questions given to the club followed by a club statement...

Unfortunately with an owner the otherside of the world giving directions to Choo with an 8 hour time difference and our chairman exiled in Monaco,we as supporters are left in the dark, as usual.

Do you really think that a time difference makes a difference in this age of technology? Mehmet spends a lot of his time in London rather than Monaco and is in Cardiff whenever his physical presence is required.Indeed he was here very recently giving fans a face to face update on matters such as legal actions involving the club, the Emiliano Sala fund etc.

Whyte thought Adomah couldn’t be bothered to turn up for the Forest game but after bottling Adomah, Neil Harris explained that he couldn’t play against his parent club, and then Harris bottled Whyte with a glass bottle of Ribena to even the odds on behalf of Adomah since Albert didn’t want to retaliate as he wants to make a good early impression at his new club.

Had me giggling that did,except the last sentence!! I'm hoping it ties in with your humour? Because if that is true,could be his demise! It's probably not true,and he is ill or something :? :old: :bluebird:

Well we certainly do not seem to have a joined up senior management group.
Dalman our chairman looking to purchase another club in June, July 2019,barely a month after relegation.
Select few invited to a meeting, would not a press release be better to all fans?
Certainly would be nice to see their presence at our home games instead of the empty director seats.
Does not seem to me they are on the same page, but hey gloss over peoples opinions and all is well I guess.

I can confirm Neil Harris did not try and fight teenagers who were asking for his autograph.

yep agree...especially about the select few thing... how about inviting someone that might ask the insurance question...?
do we have any, followed by other questions dependant on the answer to that... youd think they would have learned after the poor advice { or just nodding } from the select fans meetings over the rebrand...
