If this board had been about in 1988 then half the posters on here would've been demanding Buckley was sacked two months into his first spell with us.

I find it odd that people have a pop at Hurst now he has gone when to a man none of them where moaning about him when Nathan banged in the 3rd at Wembley, fickle or hypocritical?  


I don't find that odd at all.

Oh come off it Herts! If people who didn't rate Hurst had not celebrated that goal and that win they'd be accused of wishing Town to fail simply to prove their point.

We all support Town. So regardless of our opinion of any manager or player (or non-Chairman for that matter) we want Town to succeed and there is nothing hypocritical or fickle in enjoying good days.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I just find it amazingly funny that experts who post on message boards "don't rate" a manager that has won 3 promotions at his last 3 clubs, saved a doomed club at a higher level than he has managed previously and is currently the manager of  one of only 2 unbeaten sides in the EFL and top of their league.........clearly he's not good enough.

Christ on a bike Herts, people are saying perhaps Hurstss and GTFC's time had run it's course, not that he was a excrement manager. It has been stated that his style of play was a bit boring and negative to watch and i think most fans agree with that.

As for experts on a message board!!! ?

We're all fans and we all have opinions

Get off your high horse.

Funnily enough despite 3 promotions Buckley never won a championship which is what some people on here have criticised Hurst for. Like Hurst, Buckley was slagged off for his lack of PR skills and predictable football. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but the criticism of Hurst went way over the top IMO. 'Born loser' was one of the quotes that springs to mind. I'd like to think some 'fans' will have learnt a lesson from it but won't hold my breath.

The football AWAY from home (Halifax aside) was pretty good hence the big turnouts. we gained a envied reputation and even the average at B.P. was on the up.

If that's an indicator of a managers success Hurst must have been doing something right.

But his football style was excruciatingly boring, many times I left well before the final whistle even when we were winning.

At the end of the day players,managers even majority shareholders come and go but, fans will always be there, some on here will even admit to have been going for 50 plus years. So all we can hope for is that we have more ups than downs because you can guarantee there will be both along he way.
