‘Got to be bonkers’ – Plenty Gillingham fans react to news of managerial appointment

Gillingham’s search for a new manager to try and lead them to League One safety has seen them appoint Neil Harris as their new boss, as reported by the club’s official website.

The side have struggled in the third tier this year and have dropped to 23rd in the division. With the club unable to pick up points and falling ten points away from safety now, they have now appointed Harris with the task of saving them.

It was under former boss Steve Evans that they fell deeper and deeper into a relegation fight and it ultimately led to them relieving the manager of his duties.

Whilst they have been linked with a number of candidates, it is Neil Harris who has been given the job and he has plenty of experience in the EFL to try and help them push on up the League One table in the second half of the season.

The manager has previously taken charge of Millwall, where he led them to the play-offs in the third tier and a promotion back up to the Championship. Having then shown his mettle in the second tier, he was appointed Cardiff boss.

With the Bluebirds, he was initially a success, taking them to a top six finish to boot. However, after starting to struggle and with the club falling down the division, he ended up being sacked and has been without a job ever since.

Now, his new challenge sees him take on League One again – and Gillingham fans are delighted to see a manager with so much expertise given the hot seat at the club.
