Harris could be the most unsupported manager in our history from the word go.

7 Votes? of 2,500? I'm personally indifferent, but given the situation with Mick and then, with PRP and latterly Cook. I do worry, with the seemingly low level of support for Harris that he is going to get literally months with the fans.
Happy to be surprised, but, If its Harris, I'm not sure they really understand the fans at all. |  |

Not sure why he is so lowly rated.
I truly hope the club's board don't make an appointment based on a fan poll. |  |

Regardless of my own hopes or expectations I really hope people aren't tw6ts about this, or if they're going to be then just don't attend games. If it's him, Harris will deserve support, the benefit of the doubt and a very warm welcome. Anything else and we're just shooting ourselves in the foot yet again. |  |

Yep, completely agree. |  | | |

If he gets our squad winning games consistently, then they will all quickly pipe down and who knows they might even start supporting the appointment? [Post edited 14 Dec 2021 9:08]

Assuming the rumours are true I have to admit I’m pretty underwhelmed.
Having said that we have to support him and hope he succeeds. If he is successful then Town are successful which is what we all want.
Let’s give the guy a chance and see what he can do! |  | | |

I think people come to terms with disappointing managerial appointments quite quickly. If we could come round to Lambert, then we'll come round to anyone.
I also think our relationship with new managers has been pretty dysfunctional of late, so perhaps having a new guy who isn't an instant messiah will be a blessing. [Post edited 14 Dec 2021 9:51]

Exactly this.
Evans' problem (or one of them) seemed to me that he listened to us too much.
"We're bored of mccarthy" - he sacks mccarthy.
"We want a young up-and-coming manager" - he appoints hurst.
"We're fed up of free transfers" - he spends millions on jackson, nolan, nsiala etc etc.
"We want to be entertained" - he insists lambert plays out from the back.
Maybe listening to fans isn't always such a great idea. | |

That article is unhelpful and just poor. Personally, I’d have chosen Klopp. It’s no more ridiculous/unrealistic than some of those suggestions [Post edited 14 Dec 2021 8:53]

As far as I'm aware no decision has been made, the process is still ongoing. Think they will want to pick someone who is viewed as acceptable by fans. Sets things off on the wrong foot if the new manager isn't popular from the off.
Interesting that Warnock is top of that poll as I've hardly heard anyone say they want him and I think there's little chance of it happening. |  | | |

Do you think Advocaat would leave his role as the Iraq manager for ITFC?
Edit: He left on the 23rd of Nov... so you could be onto something. [Post edited 14 Dec 2021 8:56]

Depends what you mean by this. Most fans supported the manager (whoever it happened to be) upon appointment which I think is good.
As a club we gave the past couple managers too long before ‘turning’ on them - which in L1 is strange when compared to other clubs. But not sure it means that we’ve judged managers poorly. |  | | |

I think you've highlighted the folly of public polls given Warnock has 23% of the vote and I'd prefer Harris or many others over Warnock.
Who on earth bothers voting on an EADT poll anyway?

So who do you want as manager then? You've been saying that Cook deserved to go for ages but who else to replace him with? | | | |

Not a very representative poll. Plus that had names like Lampard in which were never, ever possible so not exactly fair.
Also surely Lambert was more unpopular? Ex Norwich legend bought in to try and save the worst season in living memory? |  | | |

I'm fairly relaxed about it to be honest. With the squad we have I'd back more or less any professional coach or manager to get more out of them than Cook was getting. The key thing is how well the manager fits the structure and culture being developed at the club. | |

Not sure on the accuracy of all of this :-
McCarthy left mutually about 2 years after most fans got bored of his football
Did Evans really tell Lambert to play out from the back?!?!
Anyway if it is Harris then I can remember similar apathy when Joe Royle got appointed but he did a very good job in difficult circumstances |  |

Likewise, I'd take Harris over Warnock every day of the week. | |

I'm stabbing in the dark a lot, i'll admit. It does feel similar to the royle appointment. We even complained that he played hoofball, didn't we? It says something about the weirdly high regard cook is held in that royle followed burley but harris is following a guy who's been pretty awful and it feels similar. | |
