Having him back in the building, even if it's just for the short-term, is no bad thing.

Having him back in the building, even if it's just for the short-term, is no bad thing.   I think you're bang on with that assessment. There's no denying that his spell as caretaker manager was a failure, but his real quality is developing young players. I'm pretty sure Mr Disley respects him highly. He was one of a handful of Mansfield youngsters who really established himself in the side under the management of Watkiss (I think Liam Lawrence, who went on to play in the Prem, was part of that crop). The training pitch will feel a bit strange for the players without Hurst - especially as more than half of the squad joined believing their careers would develop under him, and now three months later he's gone. I think it makes sense to have someone like Watkiss helping out. "Don't shine that light in my face, mate - I've just lost a pint of blood."
