No lie-in for Bulls
Hereford United manager Graham Turner has told his squad to report for training this morning after the defeat at Burton on Friday evening.
Speaking after the game , he told the NLP that he is determined to sort out the Bull's problems. "It's in on Sunday to get things sorted out in time for Telford on Tuesday night," he vowed. "Burton worked very hard for their victory. There can be no complaints from us. The only thing is if you're going to lose you might as well lose in style.
"There's a lot to talk about now and a lot to put right. Sometimes a 1-0 defeat disguises things but a 4-1 defeat can't disguise anything."
The NLP also reports on developments in the Paul Parry transfer story. It suggests that Celtic boss Martin O'Neill may have sent a scout to watch Parry at Burton. O'Neill was manager at Leicester when the two teams met in the FA Cup a few seasons ago.
It also reports that Yeovil's Gary Johnson may look elsewhere for a replacement for Michael McIndoe as Hereford have turned down an offer of £25,000 for Parry. Johnson says that Hereford haven't even acknowledged his faxed bid.
Much of this could simply be the two managers, Turner and Johnson, giving the press information designed to lower or rise the price that Parry could be sold at. In effect the article may be little more than speculation.
