Time to move on forwards, however, if kiddy fans want him out then of course we will support them. If they are up for giving him a chance then they are fools.

How he got the job I don't know but obviously the chairman at kiddy has not done his homework or checked out his c.v references properly.

It's quite a long read but it is an indication of Harris' murky past

Look forward to locking horns again next season

Lets not forget how long he was with Shrewsbury originally. Were Wrexham/Macc in a mess before he joined them? Scapegoat?

Not saying that is the case, but must have had some sort of decent track record before wrexham / Macc. We should not get involved.

N.B. I should have know everything in the garden was too rosy, why oh why do we get doom and gloom every single pre season.

There is little we can do about it and he would have to be a criminal mastermind to turn our current board and staff to the dark side.

If he was chairman, then it would be a concern, but Serrell has shown competence until now so we should respect the appointment and let the man do his job.

Maybe this article should be emailed to Mark Serrell before the ink dries on the contact.
Certainly questions need to be asked about this appointment and the KHIST board representative is probably the best channel to do this.

Just read the article and it does not prove anything.

It associates him with lots of people who have been accused of wrong-doing, but thats it. Apart from that its "Harris has questions to answer ..." and thats it.

Seriously, we should all get off our internet forum high horses and only bring something to the table if it is concrete fact.

I assume that KHIST via their Board Representative is fully supportive of this appointment and played a full part in the appointment process. A confirmation of this might perhaps put an end to this somewhat unfortunate speculation.

Accused associates? at least one of which is banned? Hardly inspiring IMHO!
I am sure Our Chairman has the best interests of KHFC at heart and has invested a great deal of time and money into KHFC and would not have made this appointment without doing His homework.
I appreciate the "positive" spin and the lets wait and see approach but surely even the biggest of optimists must have a little spark of doubt!?

I think you'll find that our chairman won't be around for a while to stop Mr Harris from doing whatever he wants.

Give it till September.

That sounds very ominous Phil

Personally I am always very sceptical when people come and work at the club and they don't previously have any personal link or affection for KHFC. We have seen various people come and go over the years at all levels, from bar manager, raffle ticket seller, to director who get in the door and then don't seem to give a toss and only seem in it for themselves. On the other hand, I realise that outside expertise is sometimes needed. I don't at all like the sound of this fella and his links and associates are a valid reason to be worried in my opinion. Let's see how it goes .......... can we do anything else?

I would imagine the vetting, interview and appointment procedure did not go past Mr and Mrs S?
