'They're welcome to him' Leeds United fans chime in as Cardiff supporters fume at Neil Harris appointment

Cardiff City became the latest Championship club to make a managerial change prior to the international break, after it was announced that former Leeds United boss Neil Warnock had departed South Wales by mutual consent.

That left the Bluebirds busy during the two-week hiatus finding a replacement and they came to a decision on Saturday, announcing that former Millwall boss Neil Harris had signed a deal until summer 2022.

However, rather than galvanise the supporters, the appointment left a sour taste in the mouth for many fans on social media, who made it clear they were not happy with Harris’ arrival in the Welsh capital.

A quick scroll through Twitter showed the general unhappiness of the fans, many of whom criticised the appointment and whether it was a considerable upgrade after Warnock’s departure last week.

Leeds fans are also interested onlookers, given the history between them and Harris, who last season dubbed the Whites over their reaction a Jack Harrison's equaliser at The New Den.

While Harris could certainly get the fans on side if he was to start to pick up positive results, it is clear that he has a lot of work to do to get the fans off his back already.

And for Leeds supporters, it adds extra spice to the Bluebirds' trip to Elland Road next month, with the two sides scheduled to lock horns on Saturday December 14 in West Yorkshire.
