Message from the Manager
Pride. Every morning when I wake up I feel an enormous feeling of pride, swelling through every inch of my body as I realise that I am the Manager of the greatest football team in the land. I gently nudge the beautiful Mrs Gav (who is fast asleep - although not as fast asleep as Rob is. No-one is as fast as Rob), shout "who's finishing stronger" then I kick her, high into the air and away from danger. After all, there's no messing around in the box. Not when there are games to be won.
This year we have a squad that can achieve something that every HPTFC manager has dreamed about - the Double. All we have to do is play to our strengths, play for each other, and score more points than everyone else and win all the cup games. Is that too much to ask? Is it?
There will be glory. There will be hope. There will be land. Alan, start singing whenever you like...
I will not hide from difficult decisions. Players will find that no-one is bigger than this club. We will have no Roy Keane situations at HPTFC. Because of this, anyone planning to write a book, please wait until the end of the season.
Shinpads in the Cup? That's what last season was all about. Let's make this season one to remember and give ourselves two pieces of silverwear to keep our shinpads in.
Forever Thursday,
Gavin Reeve MANAGER
