Neil Harris 02:06 - Dec 12 with 4718 viewsboncho1977

He is now odds on and I think he will be announced on Monday.

it will be an underwhelming appointment however can we all get behind him, there is so much negativity about him.

The good thing is that he will toughen us up and make us more streetwise like other league 1 sides. Under cool we were so nice and other managers / teams took advantage of this

I could be very wrong but if Harris was really the man I suspect he would already be in place. I also think Gamechanger didn't spend the summer getting in players like Celina, Walton, Morsy, Edmundson etc in order for them to be managed by Neil Harris, their targets off the pitch will be as ambitious as those on it.

The caveat to all this is, of course, that we've ended up in a position the owners didn't expect — and it'll be interesting to see how or if that sways them.


If he’s going to play like he did at Millwall, Cardiff, we will need 2 central midfielders who can run up and down and 2 target men for starters.

This appointment will tell us if we have a plan or not. Harris doesn’t look like he fits with the recruitment in the summer so we could be in a position where players have been invested in and don’t suit the style the manager wants.

All the article doesn’t really lead to anything conclusive other than it won’t be Lampard and it almost definitely won’t be Mowbray. Harris being interviewed is fair enough but doesn’t mean he’s a shoe in for the job or indeed that other people such as Anthony Barry haven’t been interviewed or won’t be interviewed. Think it’s a bit early for folk to be getting their knickers in a twist re Harris as I/ he’s not been appointed and 2/ how much do we actually know about him anyway?

Edit - I’m referring to the football insider article so probably would have been better posted on that thread!

Why ate we all talking like this is a done deal? Let's wait and see who gets appointed.

If that’s what Ashton has come up with, after sacking Cook, we’re in for a bad time while he remains in post. I’d rather keep McGreal, he at least knows this club. Harris is sn inferior manager to Cook.

Poll: Next Ipswich Town manager?

Rumour in South Wales from someone connected to Cardiff is that he's been interviewed by the club.

Harris has actually managed at a higher level for longer than Cook so whether he is inferior could be debated.

Where I agree is that I’d appoint McGreal/Dyer until the seasons end if we are going down the temporary manager route. Whose to say they wouldn’t make a success of it?

He may not be here but it does feel like we’re in the same position as when Mick left - him going was not the issue but who we brought in. Would love to hear the thinking behind this; did they not get the applicants get expected? What about the managers who applied who are in jobs from a higher division?

Indeed. Given Harris was available, why is he not already here? Unless, perhaps, he's absolutely stormed the interview process and changed their minds.

If it turns out to be him, of course. We only have bookie odds and speculation to go on.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Lol, I wonder if all those fans who hounded Mick out n search for better football would have acted differently had they been told that by doing so the result would be Harris managing us in League One.

With regards to your first sentence, he may be at the top of the list but they still want to speak to others before making the final decision? Would make sense.

However, I do agree with the point that the players you mention don't seem to fit into a Neil Harris style.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Because this is an internet fans forum. That's where rumours,and hearsay get blown out of proportion. It's how it all works.
