The court case has highlighted what a pathetic yes man Shaun Harvey is.
Allowing Ken Bates to do and say what he likes is not good for the club or Ken Bates. We need a chief executive who is able to stand up to the chairman when necessary.
The fans should take the opportunity to call for Harvey to be sacked, and Bates may be willing to sacrifice him at this time.
Chief executives, like managers, are easily hired and fired and maybe we could get one who would stand up to Bates, like Warnock.
Picking off the Bates yes men could be a better approach than just going after Bates, and could lead to Bates going sooner.
Harvey Out!

He didn't when he sacked Grayson.
-------------------------------------
Warnock can only hope he will be adequately funded. Bates is coming out with the same old verbal diarrhea about no need to panic buy and pay over the odds blah blah blah which we've been told before. I'll believe it when I see it, and not holding my breath

Do not blame Harvey blame Peter Lorimer. in my view that man has completely sold out and should be putting the interests of the club that loved him paramount and can do nothing but suck up to Bates.
That man should not be at our club he should be across the penines as he is fllth

I think Sol is correct in that Harvey was here when Bates took over. I guess he grovelled to Bates to keep his position though. He reminds me in looks (well slightly) of HH (WW2 figure).
Clive, good article and nice change of tack. Keep it up. 5 from me.

I just don't get why Bates would employ someone who would be unwilling to do whatever he wants.

I think Graysons favourite is the only one that would throw someone out for sucking up to him close!..
Mind you, by doing that he wouldn't be able to do things the way he want's them doing!..
Maybe on this Bates isn't as dumb as one would like, I'm sure if he had someone that close to him that tried to say no he'd show them his way of doing things!..
Harvey's got what he wants, but at the same time so has Bates!..
A shame the team work on the pitch didn't match that in the Office eh?..
Graysons favourite, see your still ignoring me!.

Clive, while we all know Warnock is the exact opposite of a yes man, do you really believe that bates isn't just THAT arrogant to think he can still control him if he tries really hard and swindles him?

Harvey is worse than Bates imo.
You only have to look right through Harvey to see what an odious little creep he is.
Vile man.

I thought he was more like Herr Flick from allo allo, GBG.

HH=Heinrich Himmler! Not a million miles from Flick though.
