Hertford Town

[Football Man]

Spoke to Mick last night and he said that Pablo is player/manager with his dad "helping out". He didn't say to what extent he is helping, though.

[Septimus]

Sorry I didn't say hello last night FM, I only realised you were there as you were leaving. I will be more sociable next time.

[Football Man]

That's okay. I don't recall seeing you either!

Obviously lacking in 'social graces' Septimus - shame on you, I believe FootballMan had no complaints re his welcome at Biggleswade Town the other night

I was so engrossed in the quality of the football being played that I failed to notice anything or anyone outside the field of play

No, can't say I have. Would love to tell more about it but boardroom etiquette, and all that...

[Wader]

.....and don't forget FM, Boardroom etiquette extends to the Directors Box as well

You mean that the discussion we had about the fallen madonna with the big boobies can't be repeated on this forum? What a shame!

I thought 'His Dad' was busy with his Soccer School in Marbella !
Still it's good to see a decisions been made & here's hoping they get things back on track. Good Luck to them !

I believe he's in Paraguay at the moment.

Yes that's right, Pablo Ardiles has been confirmed as the new Hertford Town supremo:

a poisoned chalice at the moment

[Rhodes]

Greg Dyke - I beg to differ actually, the Hertford Town job is potentially huge as the Club is a sleeping giant, anyone who comes in to stop the rot and put them back on an even keel will be regarded as a messiah and hopefully Pablo Ardiles is that man.

[Greg_Dyke]

I think the whole of football hopes Pablo is indeed "that man" but you must admit, even with your rose tinted glasses, that the job is not an easy one at the moment, hence the phrase "the poisoned chalice"

 

Not even the combined talents of Hector Varelarenga and Clement Toekneel will be able to lift HTFC this season.

I hope the Hertingfordbury park faithful are, ....er.... faithful

 

I am sure this will be all over the Hertfordshire Mercury like a rash

[Dave-KL]

Greg,

Hertford's objective this season is to finish in the top half.

Despite the disastrous start to the season , it's still only

October , so with the new manager and MC back as the chairman,

this seems realistic.

 

chrs Dave

[Greg_Dyke]

Dave,

thanks for the reply.... I really hope Pablo can bring back a winning feeling to HP....sooner rather than later.

 

It's a disgrace that we are now light years behind Ware !

 

(let alone Stevenage, who were our poorer rivals in the early 80's)

If the funding & right people get involved there is no reason why Hertford can't also rise up the pyramid.

Greg Dyke - Yes as Syd Lexic already pointed out that's certainly food for thought but then, as you well know, one season can be a lifetime in football let alone some twenty years and Stevenage Borough deserve to be where they are today.

Horace - You and HTFCew must be deeply regretting your rash decision to sever ties with Hertford Town as it looks like they are on the way back under Pablo Ardiles leadership. He is all over the Non League paper like a rash with his dad, who attended Saturday's 2-0 win over Aylesbury Vale, saying that he will cheer the Club on as well as pass on his knowledge to his son, I expect Ossie will also be able to attract new investment to the Club in due course.

[lendal]

wouldn't say a few columns under a great big piece about the hately family is 'all over the Non League paper like a rash'.. .but, eh, why use the truth when a cliche will do...

JK Rowling put her fantastic imagination to outstandingly good use in creating Harry Potter. You have it in you to have done something similar. What a terrible missed opportunity for you and your family!
