Agreed, I think we would get the hump if a Millwall fan described Hess or Bob Taylor as average. - We know they wouldnot describe Cas as average!!!
Harris: In or Out

Surely bang average if he's Millwall's all time top scorer.

Surely bang average if he's Millwall's all time top scorer.
124 goals for them in 374 appearances over two spells - averaging a goal every three games.
Suggests he knows where the goal is, but can not instil that in others at the moment.

For my tuppence worth, I think that our current situation is totally on the management team but I also don’t think it’s time to change it.
With the odd exception, we’ve been in most games and it’s purely lack of cutting edge up front that has caused our demise.
That’s the conundrum !
I can’t buy into all these conspiracy theories about the budget.
Our players budget will be pretty good for this level.
It won’t be as much as Harris wants but I’d think that it by no means not competitive.
Basically, Harris has caused this situation and it’s up to him to sort it out.
If we are still in a similar position come Christmas, his position will become totally untenable.
There is no way he can survive.
I just hope that the chairman calls it early enough to give his successor a fighting chance.

I agree with most of this, although I voted “out” because I think he deserves to be sacked for the job he’s done this season. However, I wouldn’t necessarily pull the plug now. What I want to see (which we of course won’t!) is Fisher and Scally (?) behind the scenes making preparations to sack NH and looking for a decent replacement. Part of my thinks that a caretaker like say SL can’t do any worse than Harris is doing - at least he may instil a bit of short term passion - but I don’t want to see that again really. The main thing for me is that if NH is sacked, the new manager will desperately need the transfer window to work with. TBF, NH wasn’t afforded this privilege (the cynic in me suspects deliberately) and he almost pulled it off; we can’t afford a repeat of hanging on to a failing manager, like we did with SE, and not giving the new man a fair crack.

I'd love to see this poll reframed as "if you were Chairman of the club... would you keep Harris?"
It's too easy for frustrated fans who want to see their team win just pump a button to say they want him gone. The realities are far broader.

Another co-chairman?! Surely two is enough
I’d be very surprised if Fisher hasn’t already raised concerns about underperformance directly with Harris.

I'm sure he has.
But likewise, I doubt Harris needs any reminder. He's been in the fabric of this game far longer than Fisher.
But my point is, there's more than just a whimsical poll to consider. Termination of contracts, payments, recruitment, new culture, new staff, new expectations.
When we bang "Yeaaaah, sack him!" it's vastly more nuanced as a Chairman of a football club.
