Kanj Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I find this news to be a refreshing breath of fuck off to Joe and Mike Ashley. Whatever the reason(s) Mick "turned down" the job I'm happy for it. This is a win in my book. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It's something special that we can run such a fucking boys club, and yet still leak the news to the press before a guy has even accepted the role. I just don't know how they do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Mick Harford today revealed that turning down Newcastle United was one of the hardest decisions of his life. But the fact he is a lifelong Sunderland fan was not the reason for knocking back the chance to be Director of Football Joe Kinnear’s assistant at St James’ Park. Harford, 54, will remain at Millwall where he is a coach, despite being offered the chance of a return to the Premier League. He said: “I spoke to Mike Ashley and Joe and they had some fascinating things to say to me about the job. I was really impressed. “But right now, it’s not for me. It was a fantastic offer and I was honoured to be asked, but it’s not the right time. It was very tempting and not an easy thing to turn down. “I have tremendous respect for Newcastle United football club. They are the one club I follow, along with Sunderland because I have always been a fan of them. “The whole Sunderland thing isn’t important. It has nothing to do with it. I am a professional and would have been 100 per cent committed to Newcastle. “I played for the club so know what it’s all about. They have probably the most loyal fans in Britain. I understand the North East and what football means to the people. “So it wasn’t easy for me to say no.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 from the BBC comments; If this is the most we've got to look forward to season - the non appointment of a man we don't need / want to support the man we've already got that we don't need / want then God help us. I wish I didn't care anymore but it's not that easy. Ashley please go away and leave us alone.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
