Even if they did ask Trust members for their views so they could represent those views when the back or sack Hurst board meeting comes up - which it will - it doesn't really matter.  Ultimately what JF wants, JF will get.


Yes but if the Trust representatives vote Hurst out, that will mean 2 for and 2 against.
Oh hang on, who has the casting vote?

It doesn't bother me whether there is a majority for PH to go. I can only speak for myself and my view of the club. I keep plugging this but if you don't aim for the top you will never even reach the middle. So when people say PH is "sensible" and "it's down to the players" I just cannot reconcile those opinions with a promotion hunting team.

Good managers not only spot good players but they build teams where the whole is better than the sum of the parts. Largely this is why people like Steve Burr have a good reputation and why teams like Kidderminster have done better than their budget says they should. Our club is now amongst the under-achievers despite having a decent budget since we came into this crappy league. We have had a succession of managers unable to create a team to match the ambitions of the fans. Now it seems that there are fans whose ambitions match the team's.

I like to think I'm a logical person but logic and football don't always go together. If they did, Wimbledon would never have won the Cup. Logically the 1972 team would never have won promotion with a veteran striker and a tiny Old Footballer but that side had McMenemy. Logic didn't matter. Hurst is logical, reasonable, sensible, careful and he would always ultimately fail to get us promotion because he does not think outside the box and he does not inspire people to achieve beyond what they can see in front of them. He is a chairman's dream ........ until the penny drops.

Quoted from grimps


I said when they was first appointed that they was just Anoraks in cheap suits , They  have done intercourse all for the fans other than talk about bringing flasks in the ground.
Like someone said most the fans in the supporters club and trust ect are the rose tinted specs mob , most of the other have just stopped going  


Maybe the majority of supporters are of a rose hue and a small group of highly vocal dissenters are actually a small minority? So the trust is no more than a true reflection of the overall composition of the broader fan base.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56
Have to agree with Ginny in that where I sit in the Upper Findus PH has little or no support. I have a season ticket but will not going back to BP for quite some time as the majority of performances unde PH are so sterile, lack creativity and offer little or no entertainment value.

Used to love night games at BP now they have no atmosphere, performances are generally poor and we lose more than we win. Will help me lad do his homework next week.


Sums it up for me too mate. I was thinking on the way home last night about how boring a matchday experience at BP has become these days. Nothing there for me at the minute, sad state of affairs...

Quoted from Quagmire


Will the Trust be canvassing members to gauge support or lack of for Paul Hurst in order to represent their views then?


NO....unless Fenty tells them to of course  


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.
