Jim Harvey

What's the feeling here? Would you welcome Jim Harvey as the next Tranmere manager?

I think you would do worse than to pick someone with that much experience as a manager, effectively building up a club from scratch, crafting them into a force in the conference, and setting up their youth scheme. Morecambe's loss would be our gain I feel.

The man was a legend when he played for us, he has done very well at morcombe, i would love to have him here

I really don't know too much about him. Ian, have you any wonderful stats?

 

[DixieDean]

It's just seems too much of a coincidence to me. I'm (blindly?) confident that he's the man! He should certainly know who the best conference players are (who we could probably pick up cheaply!)

 

[nomur]

Very good point Dix. That's the sort of guy we need =D> =D>

 

[Ian]

Without wanting to be cruel on the man, he may be a little frail after his recent heart problems. He's certainly held in high asteem with the fans, but let's not be sentimental. Would he be a good manager?

Nomur: I know you love the stats but they are sadly lacking for Mr.Harvey. Anyone know his managerial record? :???: How long has he been in management for now?

Harvey was at Morcambe for 12 years, getting them promoted once, winning two none-league trophies and missing out on the play-offs on the last game of the 2004/05 season

He's only in his 40's and has made a succesful recovery, I don't think that stands against him mate :-D

Andy Williams. Sign him up now. Absolute quality.

Anyways Harvey aint the man Gary Peters is. He'll no conference players and leauge 2 and has a bit more experience

Banana Army, regarding Peters I would suggest you read the front page of this site.

But he could just be saying he doesn't want the job! I am sure we could offer hi a contract that he would agree too. The likely-hood is he wont come, but you know that in football people will play their cards close to their chest.


Andy Williams would be an excellent partener for Greenacre. I think I have mentioned him on here before. He is 19 and pure class!

Tranmere will only appoint someone who is well known to Tranmere Supporters, either from being a national name (Frank Worthington, Brian Little) or a local hero (Matthias, Watson, Aldo, King). Jim Harvey fits, Peters doesn't. Simple as that...

That doesn't mean it will be Harvey, it just means it WON'T be Peters.

Peters signed a new two year deal at Shrewsbury last night

Jimmy has done a magnificent job at Morecambe and don't let anyone tell ya any different. His recent health probs are a slight concern, managing tranmere gives him more heart problems for sure!

He was a GREAT player, would he be a great manager? How does anyone know? If he came, thats the only way we could tell...:roll:
