Lee Harvey

[AFF]

Whilst queuing in the newsagents this morning for my copy of 'Embroidery Monthly', I scanned the back page of The Observer.

 

Cookie is quoted concerning Lee Harvey and, apparently, terms could not be agreed with the player. There is no reference to Chelmsford's Phil Gray, for whom we clearly did not make a 7 day approach, notwithstanding the Herts Advertiser saying that we did last week. No doubt a full retraction will be printed in this week's issue.

 

I still think that we tried to 'Itchin' Bedford. In the same way as playing 3 at the back against Bristol City, not a tactic to be repeated.

 

On the subject of the Bedford game, Cookie is quoted to the effect that, with the exceptions of Crawshaw, Castle and Evans, the players let the Club, the supporters and themselves down. Perhaps he is reading the Peter Reid book, 'Successful Football Management'.

 

I don't believe a word of it. Please let me know when it's my turn to pretend to be the Manager in an interview with these local rags.
