Harvey Fancies Cheltenham Job

Bulls legend Jimmy Harvey fancies the Cheltenham job after local speculation put his name in the frame.

Speaking to the Gloucester Citizen, Harvey made no attempts to dissuade speculation: "I am very flattered that some of the Cheltenham fans have mentioned my name. I am working at Chester now, but I am not under contract and I am still living in Hereford."

Harvey, who is likely to be one of the 48 people to have applied for the job, has had a torrid time at Chester with the players on the verge of striking over unpaid wages and the club's future still up in the air. He has lost his physio after he became fed up with not being paid, and has seen his attempts to bolster the squad wrecked by the financial state of the club.

A move to Whaddon Road would prove to be financially advantageous to Cheltenham compared to current favourite Mark Yates, whose appointment would require a compensation fee to be paid to Kidderminster for his services. However Harvey may hang on at the Deva after Chief Executive Bob Gray confirmed to the Non-League Paper that talks over the sale of the club would happen on Monday.

Meanwhile former Bulls striker Trevor Benjamin is reported to have left Woking already. He played three games for the club without scoring after arriving a month ago, but appears to have been released two weeks ago from his non-contract deal.
