Fair enough, I wasn't 100% sure until Saturday night, as soon as the players confirmed it was happening I had no reason to doubt them.

This'll be a shot up the arse for some of our slackers.......training on a Monday, whatever next?.........working on defending corners,  getting fit, concentrating for 90 minutes?

   The long ball game? Discuss.

I just hope it's not "just till the end of the season" or anything short term... We need a guy like him at this club.

What good news to get on a Monday morning, here I am considering another long week, which is followed by possible unemployment, due to my temporary contract being up at the Institute of Chartered Accountants (no-where near as posh as it sounds, I assure you) at the end of the week, and bang - Harford is in, let's hope he lives up to the billing he's had over the last month.

I don't think this means long ball football at all, I think it means well oerganised, well disciplined football.  I'm feeling confident that Mick will be able to push us into the play offs now.  I wonder if there will be any changes to the recent team.  Nicho could get his chance, Migs back in the middle??  Only time will tell.

Think we need to read the small print before getting too excited....may just be a Coppell style situation whereby a face comes in for a bit, just to freshen things up, while waiting for the next proper job......can't really see King delegating too much.

Post by: reeves4england on Monday, February 21, 2005, 11:26:04
Hopefully he'll be here for a couple of years atleast. Assistant manager would be my guess, but then who knows, this is STFC!

Reg it's Monday morning, it's freezing outside, I have a very very boring job.  Please let me, just for once, sit back and enjoy the news, that maybe we have just got someone in who's gonna do something with our beloved under achievers.  

I am a happy man this morning, enough of the negativity and roll on Wednesday night.  I know you lost your mojo of optimism a few years ago, but I've still got mine.

Allez les rouges

  There's a club in Torquay called Mojo's

   
   Reminds me of a Big Audio Dynamite song Sony.......one of my all time favourite lines.......

     Now Papa jumped the gun back in `41
Following the flag of the rising sun
When Tojo did the Mojo
he was downed in flames
U.S. Destroyer - Kamikaze planes

The West don`t learn from history
Doomed to repeat it endlessly
We put the past on to Fuji
Then we erase it totally - Yeah!

Soon we`ll be known as Great Japan
Just like they do in Great Britain
Spelt microchip and solid state
The things that made this country great

Sony

Mick Harford, it means we've got possibly the best cone collector in the lower divisions. Even if it does turn out to be a short term appointment, it certainly won't do any harm.

Post by: magicroundabout on Monday, February 21, 2005, 14:54:36
he does say they will review it at the end of the season so it does sound like he is only here to help AK out.
i hope i'm wrong and he signs for another 2 years or something.

Andy & Mick, Andy & Mick....................................

I work in student support, so basically I advise students of the Institute upon what is expected of them so that they can become members, and therefore be an 'ACA'.

Sometimes it's a good laugh, sometimes it's rubbish, but I've got some good pals out of it, so there you go.

Luckily it generally affords me plenty of time to 'surf' and check out this forum.  :D

There's a good profile about Harford here:

They've even updated it since yesterday, seems ideal for us.

Good article that BWB!!  Good find.  Like the fact he scored an own goal for Luton in their relegation battle.
