Next Manager - None League

I mentioned Ian Holloway in the context of his early enthusiasm, which was more than well received by the fans.

Only a fortune teller would have known the outcome.

A new broom sweeps clean !!

If we get relegated and we have new owners what better time to get rid of everybody and start afresh.   Hurst has had his chance, if he does somehow pull off a miracle and keep up us then yes he deserves to stay, but at the moment it's looking pretty unlikely.   So with new owners in place it's their ideal opportunity to have complete clear out, I'm sorry to say that if the players that we have at the moment aren't good enough for low mid table league 2, then they are not good enough for top of National League.      

As for a new manager it all depends on how optimistic the new owners want to be and what their vision for GTFC is.   If they have a vision / masterplan for new ground and new training facilities and want to get back to the good old days of Championship football, it's up-to the new owners to sell this plan to any new manager and aim to get the best we can.   I don't want to see us doing the merry go round of has-beens' again.    

Personally I would love to see us go down the route of Derby / Glasgow rangers and appoint an ex Premiership player who has recently retired and want's to get into management.   The game has changed so much over the last few years, younger managers have got better ideas and know the modern game better, also they have all the contacts and respect of the younger generation, they can attract a better standard of player by reputation only.    Just throwing a complete random name out there but James Milner would be a good shout.

I'm happy to stick with Hurst next season and see how it pans out, he knows the National League well and he's more experienced with more contacts now.

Yes he has to take part of the blame if/when we are relegated but he walked into a right shitshow.

Having said that if we aren't at least challenging for a play-off spot by Christmas he has to go IMO.

Not getting on to you PP but this is what I mean by the Fenty syndrome.
People were satisfied with Fentys failure, lack of ambition and penny pinching for years before they finally realised how bad he was for our club.
Now its the same with Hurst, he knows non league, got us out last time, he's a nice bloke.
They can't look at the way he got us out of that league after years of turgid, negative boring football.
Hes been given the remit to keep us in this league and it turns out he can't even amass more points than the last lunatic that was in charge.
The bloke is no good for our club.
There must be a manager out there who could bring back the good times and I hope the new blokes at the top can find him.
One thing I do know is Hurst is not that man.

Maybe, but 4 high profile ex PL players did buy a NL team that are now doing better than us.  Bit of money and ambition can do wonders.

Exactly

Realistically the answer is probably no one we can predict now.
Probably someone whose profile will be like Hursts was first time round. Experienced ex league player who has had one or two non league manager jobs in which he has done well and whose stock is rising and who sees the history and fan base of GTFC as attractive. Applies for the job at the time. Whenever that is. Probably a Northerner who is isn’t phased by living here having been a past visitor to Cleethorpes on us holidays . Hopefully this time won’t bring his mate with him which might save a year or two.
