.......apparently there was a Board meeting last night, at which it was agreed to back Kings plans for changes at the club.......this could involve staff or players or both.......such is their faith in King that his contract will roll on.

  Hadwin suggested that an announcement will come later in the week, and did nothing to dampen Harford speculation.

My Mates dad is the masseur at the club and deals with all the players....the rumour is that Mick Harford is on his way, and its unsettling a lot of the staff.

It seems as if half the squad now don't have any faith in AK.

I see this if it comes off as a master stroke. We get to keep Kingy's scouting ability and have a top notch coach whipping those underachieving players into shape. Can only be good. Harford will get them fit and organised.

And to all tose King haters out there, who's making all this happen ? ..... Andy King. He's not that daft is he.

oooooooooooooh whatta way to start the morning.  Any news when the news will go public?

Have to agree this would be quality.
Get rid of useless twat walsh and bring in Harford to, as Melksham said

i think this pairing would be class. King for his scouting and bringing quality players into the club and Harford to sort the tactics out.

Could start a song like Harry and Jim but Harford and King :P

No...........................i'll get me coat

Don't be so naive. He's been under pressure to stand aside for days and would be forced upstairs by now if Harford was around to accept.

Cant be anything but good news.

Harford is a repuatble coach and in theory at least should help get more out of our existing players.

Might also help re-unite the fanbase a little.

It would unite the clans, I mean the fans.  Even the most anti king man would have to give Harford a fair chance.  I like the sound of this, just hope this rumour has some meat around these bones.

That's exactly what I would ideally like to happen and if that was the case with Harford coming in as assistant/coach it would certainly be good news, could potentially be disastrous news but we'll see I suppose. :|

As long as the board and King have no stupid ideas about promoting Reeves I'll be happy.  

Time will tell...

should be a good move if it happens. Harford will actually motivate the players. he did pretty well when he was in charge 4 a brief period at notts forest and he knows the division well having been at luton

Its on the official site now, but is wonderfully vague.

  As I said in the original post, Harford was not mentioned as a done deal, but then again neither was it ruled out.......that would seem too much like good news for us.

 So I would caution about getting excited folks.

Agree with your last point Reg. This will probably be a huge anti-climax.

yeh it might be that king is bringing in a temporary assistant like he did with Steve Coppell the other year

An anti-climax, at Swindon, this year, no way  :wink:

That's what we're used to this season isn't it.  One big anti climax.  When was our last bit of good news?

i think it was after game 46 of last season just knowing that we were actually going to be in the play offs for the first time in years

Kingy's probably gunna announce that he's got McMahon in or something like that.

Let's see how that would unite the fans!

he cant beacause our good freind macca has gong down under

i think it was a joke rich!  :?

yeah i gathered that!

Harford's of on his holidays at the moment so that's probably what the delay is stemming from.

All ties in with Holt's statement the other day in reaction to the rumours Harford was set to replace King.

Only other slim possibility may be that King is stepping aside, at the AGM he was appointed in charge of football matters in the absence of a Chief Exec so he may look to focus more on that side of things.

Excellent move if it does happen, something had to be done after Saturday and while it’s not solving the problem it buys some time to hopefully get matters turned around on the pitch.
