I'd look forward to him texting me with ticket news at 2 in the morning.

I would be delighted if we appointed Westley, he's got promotion from this league and from league 2 before

I agree. We would be very lucky to attract someone of his calibre and experience especially if we were non league. We need someone with his knowledge of League One and League Two players and playing standards. To win the Conference we need to be playing consistently as good as a top half League Two team or mid-table League One team. If we get promoted and Hurst leaves it will put us in a better position to have a quick look around. If we lose in the play-offs, and he was willing to come, I'd sign him up immediately to get an early start on trying to re-sign our best players and assemble his squad as soon as possible. If Hurst goes we can't afford to deliberate and take too long in getting a replacement in.

The board should always be updating a list of potential managerial candidates for any contingency anyway.

apart from PNE, where he'd have earnt a decent salary, he's a Southerner, Couldn't see him straying this far North for a lesser salary than his P'boro one. Plenty of decent lower/non league clubs in the South who'll offer him what he wants

When Whestley was Manager at Stevenage I saw them a couple of times when they where in the PO Campaign to come into League 1 and actually I have to say they had a really good mix of ability and physicality and it was clear that similar to the likes of Gary Johnson he knew how to set a team up to win games at that level without resorting to long ball.

He built that team with a mix of free/cheap signings and also players who he had brought up with him when they came up from the Conference and the players looked like they wanted to play for him.

I doubt he would come to us but he has a good pedigree at this level and would in theory be able to take us forward, he is a typical Southerner though so may not be to the liking of some around the club.

While he's a good manager, he's also a girl private.

Quoted from GollyGTFC
Considering the main gripe against Hurst is his lack of a "Plan B" there seems to be a lot of people unhappy that some fans are actually considering one for the club.


The board should be busy as we speak with shady backroom plans sounding out the highest calibre managers as possible for an immediate smooth transition should disaster come to us and there mass mutiny among the fans -to inspire our best players not to jump rudderless ship and provide immediate inspiration and galvanisation.

This should be a highly secretive process mind.

'It's easy spending someone else's money' yes, but would it pay dividends longer term to invest in an attractive pay package to entice a top manager?

You pay peanuts you get monkeys.

Problem is if it blows up got to pay him off.

More likely though Hurst has reached the targets set for him and they plan to keep the status quo.

Not thanks...not a nice bloke and we aren't currently looking. The non league mourinho is out of work, what about him?

There's a reason Peterborough have sacked him...
