I HAVE LOWERED THE WAGE BILL & REDUCED THE AGE

Tidy up the squad when you came in?



NEIL HARRIS:

"That’s for people to make their own judgment.

"It was a big squad, my remit from day one was to lower the wage bill and reduce the average age of the squad.

"We had to move some players on and freshen things up a bit.

"I don’t think you can look at a year on and look at a league table. You have to look at what has happened in between.

"It’s a much bigger picture than just looking at the league table.

"I’m pleased with the transfer windows we have had and I’m delighted with the look of my squad now.

"We have been unlucky with injuries, certainly at full backs, and the lack of minutes Lee Tomlin has had has hindered us.

"But it’ll even out over the course of the season."

He's not done a bad job IMO. I think the main reason some fans want him out is because they want progression to the next level rather than security at this level and it doesn't look like Harris is the right man for that job. He's certainly managed the squad well in lowering the wage bill and average age of the group and IMO he's improved the quality of it, selling the likes of Paterson and Flint and signing Moore and Wilson. However, the fact that we have a better squad but aren't doing any better reiterates my first point - Harris hasn't yet shown the signs that he is a manager that can take this club to the next level.

Personally I'd love to see him do it, as I'd support any Cardiff manager. However, at the same time it's easy to understand why some fans aren't overly satisfied with his performance this season.

Football is a beautiful game and there are many ways to play it, but at least at professional level, if you don't play to win why keep score (can't claim that it's Vince Lombardi)

Citeh play a game suited to their players or squad. The manager was backed to get the players he needed and delivered. Liverpool play a different style (which i much prefer) and Leeds and sheffield United and Burnley each have theirs.

I just think Harris got drawn into the black hole of "playing the right way" even when we don't have that type of player. Fcuk it, just do whatever it takes to win.....That's professional sport.

I hope Barnsley was the start not a blip to the Kairdiff way

Harris has lowered our expections as well.

Harris you need to go and lower the wage bill even more. Your not up to it fella
