Steve Guinan – Like a boss?

There seemed to be quite a bit of speculation on Saturday as to whether former Hereford striker Steve Guinan would be considered for the vacant manager’s job at Edgar Street.

Guinan is warming the bench for Northampton at the moment, but has his coaching badges and even has a degree in Sports Science. When you combine this with the fact that he lives in Worcester and has served the club with distinction as a player on three occasions (including a loan spell), he would seem a logical choice and be an instant hit with the fans.

Guinan, 34, scored 64 goals in just over 150 games for the Bulls, but current boss Ian Sampson told me:

“No one has approached us so far, but I’m not the sort of man who would stand in his way if he wanted to make a move into management.”

In the crazy world of football though, should Steve get the Hereford job he would find himself in the crazy position of having to wait until January before he could call Sampson to ask to sign himself as his player registration can’t be changed until that time!

Still, for what it’s worth, I think Hereford could do far worse than make a move for the striker. He’s bright, articulate, has the club at heart and will probably be more loyal than most.
