In addition to Jimmy Harvey, a number of other names have been touted in recent weeks to rescue the club.
Most of the names have some connection with the Bulls. After Harvey, Colin Addison is probably second on the list of fan favourites for the post. However the 70 year old has declared himself retired even if he is a regular visitor to Edgar Street.
Another name touted is Steve Guinan. The 34 year old striker is a bit-player in Northampton's stuttering season and has been quietly collecting coaching badges. With no experience to his name he would probably only be considered to be a trainee to an older head, but his first return to Edgar Street gave a considerable boost - even before he had played a game - to the club.
Two names not connected to the club have also been talked about. Jim Gannon has rejected bigger and better paid jobs to remain in his Manchester home. He had substantial success at Stockport prior to their financial crisis, before less well received spells at Motherwell and Peterboro. Dave Penney has a similar record, taking Doncaster 'as far as he could' before failing to get Darlington promoted with one of the biggest budgets in League Two. His last job at Oldham ended after a poor season that saw fans walk away in droves.
Two more names not mentioned should probably also be brought up. Two veterans of the game who were both in attendance on Tuesday night. John Layton has coached around the world since his near season long spell in the dugout for the 1994/5 season. Taking over from Greg Downs after one win in seven Layton pulled the Bulls clear of the bottom despite having to rely on debutants from the youth side on several occasions.
The other is Graham Allner. The long serving Kidderminster boss is a regular at Edgar Street as part of his scouting work for other clubs. At 61 he is probably not one to be considered a long term appointment, but a short term firefighter or as an overseer to a rookie boss. Like Harvey, he implemented Harriers' youth policy - which is a long term aim of the current board.
