Jim Harvey

I see that Morecambe have released the Irishman from his contract after 10 years. With McIllroy leaving the club today too, who will take up this post with the Shrimps?

Anyone having a punt on Coleman?

KIPAX · 16-05-2006, 11:27

I knew harvey was out... I had followed that one from when he first became ill.. I wasnt aware Mcillroy was out.. seems a bit silly losing him..

Not as silly as suggesting coley for the job though.... bit of stirring there TM ?

Yes he has a background there but I wouldnt have thought it was that strong and the accy background is now stronger IMHO

I was just reading about it on Morecambe's website, can't help but feel sorry for Harvey. Seems a bit harsh but maybe he thought his health couldn't stand another season of disappointment with the Shrimps

I'm not saying McIllroy won't return, but he officially said goodbye to people at the club today.

As to the Coleman connection... why not? Now, where's me spoon?

Put your spoon away TM - just been announced on the fishy site that Coley and Jimmy have signed 2 year contracts at Stanley

Ahhhhhhhhhh... I can't help but claim some role in this major development.

Maybe I should become an agent if, within minutes of my 'speculations', the club offer the management pair a new deal?

Where's my 10%??

Good stuff, long may they be at the helm.

Stimson has left Grays too. That comes as a massive shock to me

AccyMad · 16-05-2006, 13:15

Stimson has apparently resigned because of the diappointment of not getting into the league at the first attempt. Sounds a bit fishy to me - he's probably got another job lined up

DanTheMonkey · 16-05-2006, 15:00

Im putting the "Morcambe Vacancy" and "Stimson Free Agent" together here .............

Ummm, it's a little far North, surely.

And Grays could probably pay more than Morecambe.

I think, if anything, theres a League Club involved

KIPAX · 16-05-2006, 15:06

Seems the poorly mister harvey was sacked. not mutual or anything.. plain and simple sacked.

DanTheMonkey · 16-05-2006, 15:07

That's harsh, considering the job he was doing before he fell ill

zayno14 · 16-05-2006, 15:39

I wouldn't be suprised to see Stimson joining Stevenage after Westley left Broadfield..

Christies Child · 16-05-2006, 21:18

..actually Diesal you are so far off the mark with that one.

Our Board has at least personal collective fortunes of £20million.

Still, all the money in the world can't bring promotion....as we and others have found out.

I seem to recall Eric saying that Coley had 3 years in which to achieve promotion to the league otherwise he'd be out. Sounds to me as though to be successful you have to have a bloody mean streak. Maybe my lot have not been that in the past.
