How many managers are we going to throw under the bus until we start blaming the players? Do we need to go through 4-5 managers again and again before we realise we constantly sign lazy twits. The sad thing is we know this team can do it and they had the fans full support but the lack of pride and effort on show has been unacceptable.
I'm sure these players can't wait to throw Hurst under the bus too, what will a new manager do? Different formation? Different tactics? What will they say to motivate players who can't be bothered on a Saturday while getting paid to have a giggle on candid camera in training? Getting Hurst sacked may fill members of this forum with satisfaction because he doesn't lick their behind and talk about how everyone in the team needs to be local because this is an amazing area but it won't solve all our problems. The last several managers since Hurst certainly didn't.
That's not right though is it, the manager actually signs the players so if he signs lazy players he deserves to get sacked, obviously. Now if we are shopping in the bargain bucket like we have in previous years you can blame the board not the manager, however Stockward has clearly said there is money available, so the responsibility clearly rests with Hurst this time, he should have signed better players.

Manager picks and tells them what to do full stop.
It’s time surely.

At Grimsby the manager chooses the players he signs. If they are useless, lazy, feckless or any other poor trait you can think of it’s down to the manager who obviously didn’t do due diligence prior to signing them. No manager gets it right every time, but it would appear Hurst has gotten considerably more wrong than he has got right.

Last season…
Holloway P 19 W 5 D 4 L 10 GD -15 Pts 19 Hurst P 25 W 5 D 8 L 12 GD -15 Pts 23
Holloway had a slightly better points per game than Hurst.
Holloway 1.00 - 0.92 Hurst
Not really a fair comparison though is it? Holloway started the season from a position of zero and had the summer to build a team. Hurst had to turf out players mid season and somehow convince players to join us mid season as we were fighting relegation.

This not a footballing person is passing the buck and swerving the responsibility. Can’t imagine many clubs bottling it with such a blame shift.

What was interesting today was when Crofty said he couldn't work out what system we were trying to play and commented that the players also look like they are lost, makes you wonder what we do on the training ground

Having just listened to his post match interview on RH the one thing he has mastered in 15 years of management is the art of the excuse.

No, Hurst chose to turf out all those players and then achieved poorer results with his squad than the rejects he offloaded managed earlier in the season.

Thank you for the gold star, however we appear to be in the minority as sixteen people have seen fit to red cross the original post.
Obviously they were hugely impressed with today's shambles ?
The same old posters on here love hurst, later on you will be challenged to find a replacement, like it’s our job
