Hurst wont be on a contract worth 100 grand. He is on a rolling contract isn't he?


I'm guessing about half that for PH, the rest for a replacement and any players he might want. I stand to be corrected  though if that is not the figure.

I agreee if it works then it's money well spent, the problem is Fenty has to dip his hand in his pocket now with no guarantee of success. And what the chapter in that book I keep on harping on about says is statistically that changing managers on average makes very little difference - as it hasn't for us in our recent history.

I am glad I don't have  to decide anyway. I suspect the current situaton is not bad enough to tempt him (and the rest of the board) but who knows.


Well JF normally reacts when the clamour gets to about the level it`s at tonight I would think anything less than a convincing win Tuesday he will be gone for sure but if there is a meeting Monday it may be sooner? League Tables don't lie Rob and worryingly with the fixtures weve had so far I would argue we should be neck and neck with Barnet not 12 points behind!

Yes it would. Those extra defenders Hurst would sign would probably be worth another 2 or 3 points to us by May.

If JF is reading, as well as Hurst's exit, please plan your own exit strategy.  We keep thinking you can't take this club any lower than you have, but you keep going one better each time with awful decisions every time. You spout on  about saving the club financially, nonsense, you've killed it, all for your own ego.  Step away please!


If JF goes than our budget would take a huge nosedive and we'd have a much less competitive team. I struggle to see why anyone would want to see this, it's like saying I think I can do better without my left hand.

Based on?

He might be the Scottish Mourinho, but that's guesswork!


Based on the Scots are not very good at playing football,

BUT

Are the best in this country at managing clubs,

Would you like a list  

I did say if we do not have anybody lined up,

I do not think it will be a backward step giving it to him until we can get the right man in.

Maybe there's something to be said about attendances. This aspect will drive the decision I think. If people start voting with their feet then the pressure will mount. I think it's almost certain that there'll be less than 3000 there on Tuesday. Maybe as few as 2500. If that result is anything other than a win, I can't see that there would be anywhere left to go.

For me, there's a small window of opportunity to act and give a new manager a chance to address the shortcomings and save the season. If we dally much longer, we'll be too far adrift and running out of time. The writing is on the wall and Hurst has had long enough. We are going round in circles.

The bigger problem that I've got is that I've got no faith in the owner.


Excellent post and I agree a crowd under 2900 on Tuesday will cause panic and I think Town will struggle to pull in 3k after the Southport game and todays result?

I agree about the attendance will be a massive indicator.

I know at least 5 who wont be going on Tuesday including me, its nothing im proud of but I have lost any buzz I used to have over the last few years cant go to watch the same excrement over and over until something is done.

I say anything below 2500 is a massive vote of no confidence.

100k on top of 3 million, if he was playing poker, would it be time to go all in?

I agree attendances are the key thing. PH/RS added about 500-700 to the gate, we're still not at the 3000 level they were before they came but if they fall close to that then the board may act.
