Good luck to him. Wish him all the best.

Yes Ned, Pompey fans said last week he was fav to be their next manager.

Harris is a League 1 manager perfect

Good luck to him.
To be fair to him he's got an eye for a decent player.

Agreed he’s signed some gems for next to no money. Compared to the money squandered by solskaer and mackay.

It is not clear that Harris made most of these good signing rather than some sort of transfer committee. For example had Harris ever seen Ng play or did a transfer committee realise we need a right back desperately and found out Ng was one of the best young right backs in the lower divisions and recommend we sign him. I may be wrong but I suspect that most of our good signings had not much to do with him.

Think he could do a reasonable job at league one level but Portsmouth could do better.

Apart from Harris I believe I believe our transfer committee consisted of Choo, Tan and Dalman. The first two have no clue about football and Dalman not much more. I would give Harris the credit.

That will suit both the club and Harris. He'll spout the same cr@p down there as well to the players / fans and owner

i doubt Dalman, Choo or Tan are out there actively scouting but no doubt they listen to those they have employed to recruit players....

Dalman said he had been monitoring Glatzel 2 years before we bought him. Tan, Choo and Dalman could never spot a player.

Good luck to him. Wish him all the best.

For who.. ?

Not Cardiff City FC, he didn't...

Portsmouth considering 43-year-old as potential Kenny Jackett successor

By Ben Wignall



Monday15 March 2021,






Kenny Jackett’s successor at Portsmouth could be Neil Harris, with there being ‘strong early support’ for the former Millwall and Cardiff boss amongst the search committee, per Jordan Cross of Portsmouth News.

Pompey are searching for a new manager after parting company with Jackett earlier today after nearly four years in charge.

The club had reached the end of the line with Jackett following defeat in the 2020 EFL Trophy final against Salford City which took place yesterday, and the club also sit outside the League One play-off places.

Pompey are looking for a swift appointment, with the search for a new boss starting today according to chief executive Mark Catlin, and it looks like Harris is high on the list of potential successors.


Mikel Arteta says he is proud of his teams performance and discusses Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang omission from the starting line up.

Harris has been a free agent for two months, having left Cardiff City in January with the club struggling for form in the Championship, losing five games on the bounce which led to his departure.

He has a topsy-turvy record at in the second tier, securing an eighth-placed finish with Millwall in his first season before a relegation battle in 21st with them in the 2018/19 campaign, and then he left the club in October 2019 with the Lions sitting in 19th position.

But he immediately turned Cardiff’s fortunes around after becoming Neil Warnock’s successor a month later, turning them from a mid-table team into a play-off outfit, eventually going down in the end of season two-legged knockout to Fulham.





The Verdict

Harris did depart the Bluebirds after six straight defeats, but he’s already proven to be a good manager at the level where Portsmouth want to be again, and his two seasons in League One have been successful as well.

Two play-off campaigns in a row saw Harris lose the 2016 final to Barnsley with Millwall, but he led them to triumph over Bradford the following year, so if Portsmouth want a man who is ready for a battle in the play-offs, then they may have found their man.

Some may find Harris being one of the top contenders a bit dour, but he’s had relative success with two different clubs in the Championship before things turned sour, and he could make a big difference especially in the short-term.
