Think of the career progression possibilities that Harford is passing up. Driving Miss Daisy, then on to maybe polishing the boots or delivering the pies, or even running around the training centre delivering messages to Pards.
No disrespect to the South London club but if say you substitute Newcastle with Spurs then can you imagine Harford saying thanks but no thanks? Me neither.
This would be another dismal appointment and surely only increase speculation that Alan Pardew is being painted into an ever tighter corner as Kinnear tightens his grip at the club.
Desperate times unless you are an eternal optimist.
