Harrier confusion

I was just reading an article in Navy News that seems to suggest that RN fighter controllers will no longer be having anything to do with RN aircraft now that SHAR is retiring.

I thought it was being replaced by the GR7/9. I know the GR9 is not kitted out as well as the FA2, but presumably it has some air defence capability? I assumed it would at least be having a poor attempt at fulfilling the same role.

Am I to assume that RN Harrier pilots are going to be mud-movers until JSF enters service?
