HARRIS:THERE IS NO MONEY IN JAN/I WILL HAVE TO GET RID FIRST

Wed Dec 30, 2020 9:14 am

MY VIEW: OUR UNDER 18'S AWFUL RESULTS THIS SEASON / UNDER 23'S AWFUL RESULTS THIS SEASON / OUR FIRST TEAM AWFUL RESULTS THIS SEASON & EVERY TWO YEARS WE HEAR THERE IS GOING TO BE CHANGES / CLEAR OUTS / WE HAVE BEEN HEARING THE SAME OLD STORY FOR 11 YRS / RESULT:

After 11 years and twice in the Premier League, Nearly £400mill has come in and our financial situation by now should be good & Our Academy should of by now producing at least a few quality players, but neither has happened.

A committee/ board have no clue on football and all live far away from our club.


ON THE PITCH CARDIFF CITY IS SADLY STRUGGLING IN EVERY DEPARTMENT / SADLY ALL FACTS :cry: :cry:

Of Course there is quality in our team, but from day one,everyone could see in Oct/Nov/Dec etc most clubs get a lot of injuries / suspensions, so you cant cut the squad to minimum, and now Harris admits that and of course the youngsters are not ready yet as thats been the same old story with our kids for 11yrs.








Neil Harris vows to ring changes in January, but first he says there is no money and will have to clear players out.


The Bluebirds were comprehensively beaten by by rock bottom Wycombe Wanderers last night.


It means Cardiff City have now lost four of their last five matches and a disgruntled Harris was brief in his explanation as to why that has been the case.



NEIL HARRIS:


"You can see that we lack a bit of quality."

"We are a tight group and the January window is upon us and it's important we try and add, if we can, to the group, especially when you look at injuries and how long people are going to be out."


"Our young players we have got in the group aren't quite ready to step in. They need time to develop."


"If we are going to add to the group then certainly, bringing in players that give us that leadership or athleticism, or a bit of both if possible, will be vital."


Having spoken with owner Vincent Tan every day recently, though, Harris explained that: " If We add to the squad, players will have to leave next month."

“I’ve spoken to Vincent every day for the last week or two weeks, I spoke to Mehmet [Dalman, the chairman] two days ago, and they know my thoughts," Harris said.

“We’re not going to spend money in January, there is no money."


“Signing lots of players and spending lots of money is not going to be the case. That’s been done in the past and I’ve tried to address that in the time that I’ve been here,Ive cleared out many players and made our squad a lot smaller,I have done everything asked of me."

“We’ll try and adjust the group – we’ve seen tonight we need to do that – but to adjust the group, players have to go out. Do clubs want to sign our players? I don’t know – I haven’t had any phone calls yet.

its time for Harris to go, yet with no money available, who could we bring in?

No. We shouldn't go down. We should be nowhere near the bottom come the end of the season.

Looking at the players and experience we have, of this league and higher levels (PL and international), I can only see about 3 clubs that should be above us.

We won't sign anyone of note, neither will anyone else, so we should only improve and climb the table! (Positive head on)

We can't get any worse... Can we?!

I think we are well out of the running for a play off spot don’t get me wrong I’m not throwing the towel in but we should be beating Wycombe wanderers and that’s no disrespect to them we got rotherham next and I’m not to sure we will win that one we play forest in the fa cup on jan the 9th don’t expect a cup run because Neil Harris doesn’t do cup runs we could get dragged into a relegation battle if we are not careful if I’m honest the new year looks bleak

Let’s be honest from what we can see the Club is in turmoil and if left to fester will get worse.

You’d think at this moment we’d see the like of Dalman and Choo stand out however this is the time they disappear and bury their heads in the sand.

At least Harris won’t be in the dug out for 3 matches let’s hope he’s banned from talking to the media for the same time because I’m fed up of his talks. If I am we can understand why the players are!

I’m surprised that NH is still in the job???
Or is it because the transfer committee can’t find another “yes man”???
Oh, and don’t take any comfort from the fact that there are worse clubs than us at the moment,,, just ask Hull City fans about that!

Time to go tan sort this mess out ASAP

I think every fan is able to stomach their team being beaten by another team who have better players

What they won’t put up with is their team being outplayed, outfought and outthought but teams which on paper are inferior to ours

This has now happened on several occasions this season.

That is what fans can’t stomach and why NH needs to be sacked as it’s his job to make sure it doesn’t happen

Where has all the money gone? To pay of the debts to Tan maybe.

Spot on, the debt Tan mostly made as it went from £50/£60mill to over £200 mill under Tan

I keep hearing Tan is subsidizing the club to the tune of £1m pm. Do you know if this is true?
