I don't think people can really compre Buckley to hurst Alan totally different league I have to say Buckleys football was the most exceptional and perfect it's about the team not the man.if people are honest with themselves Do you think hurst would of lasted at that time at league level ?? . Hurst is due credit for getting promotion but we have to understand  it can still unravel if the clubs is not careful I get the feeling he's left us a ". Dear john letter " on the mantelpiece

Hurst is in control of his future The club isn't. UTM

I for one won't lose much sleep over his departure. In his tenure here he achieved the bare minimum expected of him. His tactical choices were bewildering at best and he slagged off fans on a regular basis. Personally I think we should've gone up way before we did and let's face it, we were pretty poor for the most part last year. Not only that but if Monkhouse hadn't got injured in the play-offs, Hurst would be 6 Months into his stint at Sincil Bank right now.

He did 'the job' for us. But never did he excite me or ever endear himself as a bloke you really wanted it to work for no matter what.

I don't even see the 'eye for a player' people forget how much shite walked through the door in his time here. For every Amond there were 3 Hobans.

I'm personally really excited about the future and what it holds, he's left us in a better place than he joined which he deserves credit for but I won't miss going 1-0 down and knowing you're not coming back from it, not one bit.

Personally think it's incumbent on whoever is on the selection panel for the new manager to appoint someone with a track record of getting the best out of players rather than gambling on the club's league status. To me, that means Steve Evans or Nigel Adkins - the financial ramifications of anything other than improvement are not worth contemplating. If this means finding an extra £50k a year or even £100k a year then do it because going back to where we were would cost a hell of a lot more.

What if we spend an extra £50/100/200k pa and get relegated.

Easy to gamble with somebody else's money

Take your point but imagine the flak if they take a cheapskate option and it happens.

I'd imagine that both Evans and Adkins especially have had plenty of pay days in recent seasons and the thought that an extra £50K would attract of them is a bit naive. I'd tend to doubt an extra £100K would make a great deal of difference either. Adkins would have got a big payout after Southampton surprisingly sacked him and he'll have done OK out of Reading and T'Blades as well. You can be sure that Evans will have done OK out of Leeds, one way or another.

The idea that either could be tempted by anything we could offer financially seems hopeful to say the least.

Quoted from Civvy at last


Should be quite easy to achieve Kris.
When you see a thread titled 'I see Shrews lost'   or 'Hurst is doing well'  or anything like that - Don't open it 😉

I for one will have a look at Shrewsbrys next few results just out of interest, as I suspect will most on here.  Hurst was a big part of Town and it will (for some) be interesting to see how he gets on.  If you had a partner for 5 years and they left you for someone else, would you not be curious about their new partner???


I'd be fuming if she left me for a bloke who was probably a bit worse looking than me with a slightly better current income.

I'm pretty much with Pontoon Lew on this. He came (leaving a bad taste in the mouth at Boston). He did his job. Made some good choices. Made some bad choices. Had a bit of bad luck. Had some good luck. Got some stick. Gave it back. He left leaving a bit of a bad taste in our mouths.

I wonder how much he played in giving our club back to us. He certainly brought back the work ethic. But I'd say a lot of getting our club back was down to the spontaneous efforts from those fans who made away days fun again (helps winning more of course). At times those youngsters (and some oldies!) kept the atmosphere going in the face of some dour football. I'm sure he played a role in giving the club back, but I think a lot of it was the fans grabbing it back.
