Holloway on Buszaky...Mick Harford for Millwall?.

-
BBC - Ian Holloway
BEATEN BY PRESTON, LOSING BUSZAKY
Plymouth midfielder Akos Buszaky joins QPR on loan, with a view to a permanent deal. That's life. Who are we to think we can go and beat a proud club like Preston? To be fair, they played better on the day.
Maybe my lads were in shock that Akos wasn't there, but I still think it was the right thing to do - give the lad a choice.
We offered him a good deal, he thought about his life and decided he wanted to go to QPR. I knew when he went I was up against it, because Gianni Paladini and Flavio Briatore are going to be good company, aren't they?
I think he met Rod Stewart and a few of these glamour models on Saturday night as well, so there was no way he was going to come back to me after all of that.
It's about commitment and if he didn't feel right about his deal then he's done the right thing. It's as simple as that. But good luck to him, he's been brilliant for us. BBC


- South London Press -Could the Lions take the Mick?

MICK Harford has emerged as a frontrunner for the Millwall manager's job
.


The former England and Chelsea striker quit QPR on Saturday.
As caretaker boss, he had lifted Rangers off the bottom of the Championship table after going four games unbeaten but was then told he would have to work under new boss Luigi De Canio.
The 48-year-old, who did some coaching at The Den when David Tuttle was manager,is understood to be a candidate for the Lions hotseat.
He said: "I want to get back into the game. But I haven't spoken to anyone about it yet."

Harford performed miracles at Rotherham and has been caretaker manager at Nottingham Forest, as well as assistant at Luton and Colchester.
Lions striker Neil Harris, who Harford took to Forest in 2004, said: "When he speaks, everyone stops to listen. He has an aura about him. He is also a top, top coach with fantastic ideas. He knew exactly what he wanted from his players and was very knowledgeable about them."
Millwall Supporters Club treasurer Ian Toal said: "He certainly did a good job at QPR. He also must have a great set of contacts.
"The results we've had have bought us a bit of time.But we need a manager fairly soon -probably by the time of the FA Cup tie at Altrincham - to give him time to do what he wants."
Other applicants to emerge include ex-Palace caretaker Kit Symons, and ex-Brentford bosses Leroy Rosenior and Scott Fitzgerald.
Lions caretaker manager Richard Shaw has warned of an injury crisis for tomorrow's visit of Hartlepool. "It is getting worse by the day. But we'll just have to nurse the lads through as best we can." South London Press
