Hargreaves wanted Davey's Job

Former Hereford United player Chris Hargreaves has revealed in his book "Where's Your Caravan' that he put his name forward for the manager's job after Simon Davey was sacked last October.

"It is a club I used to play for and know well and I would love the challenge of managing them.

"But with so many managers out of work it may go to someone more experienced."

Later he notes Hereford 4-3 win at Northampton.

"I mentioned I put my name in for the Hereford United job, and I haven't heard anything back yet, but with results like they had at the weekend - a 4-3 comeback after being dead at buried at half-time - their stand-in manager Jamie Pitman, a former teammate of mine may get the job.

"It's funny how players who hang on in there at clubs end up getting a job when their playing days are over, either in coaching or management.

"Jamie...is a great lad who did it the hard way - on retiring, he got his qualification as a physiotherapist and earned his place managing the team."

Currently Hargreaves is running his business, the Sidmouth sports shop, Chris Hargreaves Sports Republic, and coaching in Exeter City's youth academy.
