Forest Green set to name Harvey successor

With over 40 applications received for the manager's post vacated by former Bull Jimmy Harvey, The Gumpers Chairman Trevor Horsley is expected to name the new Boss tomorrow.

Player-coach, David Brown, has been in caretaker charge since July before Harvey was eventually sacked in August but it is not known if his name is on the shortlist.

A Club statement said Horsley "will be making a final decision in the next 24 hours as to a new appointment." Defending the delay in confirming an appointment, the statement continued; "It is only right that the new man at the helm will be chosen for the long-term aspirations of the club and not as a knee-jerk reaction to the start of the season."

The manager-less club were on the wrong end of a seven-goal pasting at Cambridge last weekend, face Hayes and Yeading tonight and host Ebbsfleet on Saturday. Edit - tonight's game finished goal-less.

Bulls News will try to publish the obligatory photo of the new manager's scantily dressed dream date in due course.
