Harford calls for stability after draw

17 January 2010 08:47
QPR caretaker manager Mick Harford was relieved to salvage a point from his side's Coca-Cola Championship trip to Blackpool and has called for a period of stability at the club to get their play-off push back on track. Harford has taken temporary charge of the Loftus Road club after Paul Hart departed as manager after just five games earlier this week, and the new man at the helm was given a moment to savour with the manner of his side's leveller. A superb 30-yard shot from Matthew Connolly gave QPR a deserved share of the spoils as Blackpool were denied a first league victory over Rangers in 38 years. Harford said: "This is a difficult place to come to. Blackpool started really well and controlled the game in the first half. "But we had a chat at half-time and we started to create some excellent opportunities. Harford added: "I think what this club needs after a difficult time is a period of stability. The board has asked me to take charge of the first team and I shall continue to do that."
