“ BACK NEIL HARRIS “

Thu Jan 07, 2021 10:22 am

If The Committee ( Tan / Dalman / Choo ) are going to keep Neil Harris as Cardiff City manager then they have to back him in January.

You can’t keep a manager and not back him, he needs the tools to do the job.

What ever our views on Neil Harris, if he stays then surely they should fully back him?



Harris says he needs at least 4 new players .


- A permanent right back is top of the pile

- Striker, winger and centre back desirable

- Funds must be freed up

- City have had no contact over Josh Murphy in last three windows

I’d say in the circumstances we need at least 6 new players as a few will be outgoing.

This is starting to look like they will keep him a bit longer. However I don’t see points against Norwich, Barnsley or QPR with this team. Millwall at the end of the month will be hard therefore I think out of 4 games 1 pt will be it.

You can see it happening transfer window closing and hardly anyone coming in, most going out.

Some dithering up above going on by look of it.

They are keeping him because he is a yes man and is to frightened to Spk out and say what he really needs.

There’s only so many yes’s he can give them.

When we don’t put points on the board he can’t say YES

I don't understand this yes man business. Why do they want a yes man rather than someone who can take the Club forward? Surely it's a recipe for disaster and Tan would never recoup anywhere near the money he's put it.
If the want a yes man to offload big earners and recoup some transfer fees then Tan will lose well over 100 million of his investment as there is little value left in this squad.
Surely Tan would have been better off appointing a shrewd manager who can build a team by wheeling and dealing successfully in the transfer market like Brentford and the jacks.
Tan will never get his money back unless he gets us promoted to the premier league...and that's not a job for a yes man.

A yes man is that he accepts the job knowing he cant improve a team like he would like to, does not speak out when not really backed and accepts to get rid of players if he doesn't really want to so does not really manage to what he feels he is capable. Ands shuts up when told to.
Accepts that he gets the job knowing he will be told time and time again reduce the squad, get rid get rid and not improve.

Got rid of 23 players incl 10 U23's and brought only 2 permanent signings in.


Malky and Warnock were not yes men, they compromised and also stated before they got the jobs the squad needing improving.
Result two promotions bringing in nearly £400mill.



Malky, Warnock and Bellamy All Winners and Not yes men

Your answer doesn't address any of the points I raised. I still say that appointing a yes man is a disaster for Tan so why the hell would he do it?
I accept that you don't like Harris. I'm getting fed up of him too. You've labelled him a yes man and a lot of your followers have joined in.....mud sticks. Catchy and insulting names are an easy way to drive a campaign. I'm not saying you are wrong in your assessment of Harris as a football manager but I still don't buy the yes man label.
He knew when he came in that there wouldn't be loads of money around. Every relegated team coming down from the premier league has to cut back. That doesn't make him a yes man.

Not my fault I dont please you in my answers.


Tan does not want to spend money.

Tan wants to totally control a manager.

Even today Harris is caught out lying because he is trying to be the puppet they want him to be.


So for me Harris is a yes man.

You can have Tan & Harris.




WRONG I WAS ONE OF THE LAST TO TURN ON HARRIS & FANS CAN SEE FOR THEMSELVES.


Today was the final straw when he lied about Aden Flint.

I never said a thing about being pleased or displeased by your answers. This is a fans forum with lots of differing opinions so it makes no difference to me what you think...I don't take it personally. You think he's a yes man but to me it just doesn't make sense financially for Tan to employ a yes man because that would guarantee failure and financial disaster for Tan. Sorry, I just don't buy it. Perhaps you know something that I don't but I don't see Harris as some sort of arse licking yes man. He's employed by the Club so like everyone else he needs to toe the party line to a large extent...but all employees need to show solidarity in this type of situation where the team is everything and I mean "team" in the wider sense of the word, not just the team on the pitch. He accepts there isn't much money about due to the crowds situation so he's simply being realistic.

No problem, we have totally different opinions, you seem to be getting upset.

I 100% believe and see Harris a yes man.

but you then had ago about making out people were my followers for having similar opinions, its you who is not allowing people to say how they feel, because if they agree with me or have similar views they are a follower :lol: :lol:


As i said I actually was not against Harris, but as the weeks have gone on, the crap that comes out of his mouth is unbelievable and then his shocking results.

No I am no longer fan of Harris, my view , my opinion :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Not upset in the slightest...you have clearly misunderstood what I've said. In fact it's you who seems upset with my comments about your followers. However, I fail to see how I'm " not allowing people to say how they feel". That's just wierd. People can say what they like on the topic.
Ironically our thoughts on Harris are getting closer by the day. I was a fan but I'm losing faith each day because of dodgy tactics and team selections. The only area we differ is that you think he's a yes man and I'm not convinced he is :thumbup:

Catchy and insulting names are an easy way to drive a campaign. I'm not saying you are wrong in your assessment of Harris as a football manager but I still don't buy the yes man label.
He knew when he came in that there wouldn't be loads of money around. Every relegated team coming down from the premier league has to cut back. That doesn't make him a yes man.

I never said a thing about being pleased or displeased by your answers. This is a fans forum with lots of differing opinions so it makes no difference to me what you think...I don't take it personally. You think he's a yes man but to me it just doesn't make sense financially for Tan to employ a yes man because that would guarantee failure and financial disaster for Tan. Sorry, I just don't buy it. Perhaps you know something that I don't but I don't see Harris as some sort of arse licking yes man. He's employed by the Club so like everyone else he needs to toe the party line to a large extent...but all employees need to show solidarity in this type of situation where the team is everything and I mean "team" in the wider sense of the word, not just the team on the pitch. He accepts there isn't much money about due to the crowds situation so he's simply being realistic.




No problem, we have totally different opinions, you seem to be getting upset.

I 100% believe and see Harris a yes man.

but you then had ago about making out people were my followers for having similar opinions, its you who is not allowing people to say how they feel, because if they agree with me or have similar views they are a follower :lol: :lol:


As i said I actually was not against Harris, but as the weeks have gone on, the crap that comes out of his mouth is unbelievable and then his shocking results.

No I am no longer fan of Harris, my view , my opinion :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Not upset in the slightest...you have clearly misunderstood what I've said. In fact it's you who seems upset with my comments about your followers. However, I fail to see how I'm " not allowing people to say how they feel". That's just wierd. People can say what they like on the topic.
Ironically our thoughts on Harris are getting closer by the day. I was a fan but I'm losing faith each day because of dodgy tactics and team selections. The only area we differ is that you think he's a yes man and I'm not convinced he is :thumbup:


That’s fair enough :thumbright:

Harris I honestly believed in, but I believe Tan/ Dalman have changed him.

This is starting to look like they will keep him a bit longer. However I don’t see points against Norwich, Barnsley or QPR with this team. Millwall at the end of the month will be hard therefore I think out of 4 games 1 pt will be it.

You can see it happening transfer window closing and hardly anyone coming in, most going out.

Some dithering up above going on by look of it.



They are keeping him because he is a yes man and is to frightened to Spk out and say what he really needs.

I don't understand this yes man business. Why do they want a yes man rather than someone who can take the Club forward? Surely it's a recipe for disaster and Tan would never recoup anywhere near the money he's put it.
If the want a yes man to offload big earners and recoup some transfer fees then Tan will lose well over 100 million of his investment as there is little value left in this squad.
Surely Tan would have been better off appointing a shrewd manager who can build a team by wheeling and dealing successfully in the transfer market like Brentford and the jacks.
Tan will never get his money back unless he gets us promoted to the premier league...and that's not a job for a yes man.



A yes man is that he accepts the job knowing he cant improve a team like he would like to, does not speak out when not really backed and accepts to get rid of players if he doesn't really want to so does not really manage to what he feels he is capable. Ands shuts up when told to.
Accepts that he gets the job knowing he will be told time and time again reduce the squad, get rid get rid and not improve.

Got rid of 23 players incl 10 U23's and brought only 2 permanent signings in.


Malky and Warnock were not yes men, they compromised and also stated before they got the jobs the squad needing improving.
Result two promotions bringing in nearly £400mill.



Malky, Warnock and Bellamy All Winners and Not yes men
