I’ve always rated Hurst in the recruiting market because of his level of background work, research and scouting he does.

I find watching Hurst at work in the market very exciting. Whereas with Holloway, I just got the feeling it was pot luck, where he would take any name in and give them a try, that his contacts chucked up, but with very little knowledge or research.

Phillip, the thought of you getting excited is not something I want as I tuck in to my breakfast.

Hurst will want people in who will listen to him from the start, and with no prima donnas in place.

Those in poor form currently will have to understand that they don't have guaranteed starting places and must up their game.

Turning into a winning team with some form of confidence will not happen overnight, so no wild posts demanding us turning into Juventus or Barcelona overnight either.

I expect dour graft filled matches from now until the season end - third from bottom will do this year in extremely lousy circumstances.

Might be off the mark but I wonder if runaway was on a percentage of transfer profit. Might explain bringing in so many inexperienced youngsters in the hope one comes good, and trying to get pollock a trial somewhere

Most managers have that clause in their contract I believe, didn't Newell try to claim some after his sacking?

This 100%.

I was totally won over. Couldn't believe he was our manager.

Started great, he was out and about, connecting with the community.

He then had to do his job, and it was awful.
If you listen back to his interviews, he seems to get his reputation from being chaotic in his interviews, as it gets away from how terrible he is at his actual job
