FORMER manager Gary Whild has wished cash-strapped Kidderminster Harriers “all the best for the future”.

Whild is understood to be mulling over an offer of a new role at the struggling Vanarama National League club after being removed from his head of football operations post.

Whild, who joined Harriers in the summer of 2010 as Steve Burr’s assistant, enjoyed five years at Aggborough.

When Burr controversially left the club in January 2014, Whild was put on gardening leave. But he returned as manager in March that year after the tenure of Andy Thorn.

Whild was moved from the hotseat earlier this month in a management reshuffle after Harriers made a poor start to the campaign.

He and head coach Tim Flowers left the club on Monday.

“I was told I was the best man for the job in the summer and you have to wonder what happened in a short space of time,” said Whild.

“We knew this was going to be a very tough situation in the summer and that hasn’t changed.

“At this level, it’s all about having the contacts, experience and knowledge and I feel I have all of those attributes.

“I knew three or four experienced players we could have brought in until Christmas to help the young lads.

“I look at my record as a manager and I feel I did a good job when I was given a fair shake of the stick.

“When I returned as manager we lost just one in 13 games and the followed that up next season by guiding the team into the play-offs spots, until my three best players were sold because of money problems.

“I have been offered something but at the moment I think I need some time just to work out what’s next for me.”

Whild unearthed raw talent such as Jamille Matt and Marvin Johnson and helped generate hundreds and thousands of pounds in transfer fees for the club. He added: “The fans have been fantastic.”
