Quoted from RichMariner
Hurst got us back into the FL and for that I'll be forever grateful to him.

A lot of fans thought we had a divine right to be back in the league - and I agree, it should've been our aim - but just look where Stockport, York and Torquay are (not forgetting Darlington, Hereford, etc). It could've got so much worse if we'd had a manager who didn't handle our situation correctly.

Yes, Hurst had some faults (who doesn't) but, all things considered, he's a good manager and I'm sure he'll enjoy some level of success at whichever club he manages.


Add to that Wrexham are still down there and must have been for 10 years now. I don't think that Hurst would divide opinion so much if it weren't for Puddy's non red card, that extra year hurt like hell for everyone associated with the club, he'd be held in much unanimous regard.  


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

It took Luton a similar amount of years as us to get promoted, it took Forest Green millions and millions more pounds than us to get promoted. It's a VERY hard league to get out of.

always liked paul, didnt care about this praising fans nonsense, way some fans behaved at halifax was nothing short of digusting, but people forget that to take a dig at PH

i wish he was still in charge here but he isnt and i wish him nothing but the best for his future, he'll go a long way imo

I don't think anybody on here has said he is a bad manager,

His faults were HE could not except criticism and would rather talk about the negatives far more than the positives,

Some liked him and most are grateful for what he did here in the end,

BUT

Many and I am one of them was glad when he moved on,

He will always be in work like most managers ,how much success he will have does not bother me,

I just want the manager of our club to be successful.

The point is he is currently at a more successful (recent) club than ours, In the league above. Yet some are adamant he's not very good or some insecure people are glad to be rid of him because he didn't praise them enough.



Not sure how you can class them as more successful when it took them I think 8 years to get promoted from League 2 after they returned from the Conference.

They are probably currently only in a higher league than us at present because they didn't have the GTFC board and Neil Woods in charge of them.

He's having good run of form and I will be forever grateful we got out of the abyss. What I will remember is the odd snidey remark and cheap comments from him after that Wembley win and also that I can't remember us being a real force when he was in charge, we always seemed to stumble, and every game we played was a swing on lady lucks mammaries as to which way the game went.  I never felt truly confident in Hurst but can only wish him well.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

They have been playing at a higher level than us for the last seven seasons, this is the eighth. For three of those seasons they were two divisions above us.

As I stated, they have been a more successful team than us in recent years.

Thanks for the memories Paul, OK when things were going our way, petulant and peevish when not.
Will do OK in the game but better suited to Shrews type than us, they are more accepting lol.
He took a battering from us time to time and got his ear cupping revenge at Wembley, are we better off without him IMO yes
