"I'd have loved to have been there for many years, but it's football. If someone doesn't feel like you should be there anymore, that's their decision."
"I think it's a good appointment. He's got a good relationship with the club, he's Paul Baker's brother-in-law. He used to come and watch us when he was playing for Newcastle, I remember him coming to watch us during midweek games."

"Without question, he showed over a short period that he can do it. The most important thing now is whether he wants to do it."
Halifax Town boss John McGrath admits Will Harris "will be moving on" as the striker's Hartlepool United transfer saga appears to be edging towards a conclusion.
