I would not keep him if we go down.

Macca would still be in goal for a start. They ought to get a room those two.

I have been very disappointed with him thus far. He knew from watching us that a major, major overhaul was needed and he should have made sure he had the funds to get quality players in before he took the job. Mansfield squad players, players from long term injuries weren't going to do it, nor were inexperienced players.

Of course I don't blame him for the terrible position he inherited, but he should have been all guns blazing from minute one.

It was obvious to all and sundry what we needed, and we should have paid well over the odds to get them.

I don’t blame Hurst for recruitment. All the money in the world wouldn’t get players here. It’s bad enough when we’re a mid table team. The place stinks of failure.

Players don’t want to come. Vernam doesn’t want to come back. Until the change comes off the pitch, not much will change on it.

I’m referring to our current position in the league. Jolley had exactly the same problem when he first arrived. Get in the basement relegation zone and no one will touch you with a barge pole.

There is a relatively small pool of players that will sign for a league 2 team. None of them are Ronaldo, but some are good enough to do the job of keeping us up. Money is a big factor, plus maybe a decent length contract if they are deemed good enough.

These players don't earn fortunes,; a good pay day and they would come.

If he cannot attract who he wants ( he said when he joined he was keeping tabs on players from all over) then either he is at fault or the money isn't good enough. Rumour has it that we have re signed JLL which tells you all you need to know.

For those who keep talking about a "sizeable war chest" - how much in your minds do you think this was 100K, 200K, 300K, more? And whatever that figure is that you think existed was that just for transfer fees or would it cover transfer fees and wages?

My guess would be that PH was told he had about £100K (at a push) to play with and that money had to cover fees and wages.

The signings he's made have improved us, it's the players that were here already that are costing us.
