On the clubs start to the season tomorrow.
I expect to be clawing my own eyes out reading it as he tells us we all need to back the manager. I don't think I want to look.

You know what that means.

Oh God, all I can see is a massive conflagration in the current circumstances. Why does he need to issue a statement on 'the start to the season'? I know what the start to the season has been. I don't need it explaining to me with a load of excuses and a smoke and mirrors trick. Disgruntled supporters aren't going to be won over with a plea for more time and a rallying call. I think unless Town are announcing a sacking or unequivocal backing, some sort of explanation of why we should all unite and get behind the club is just going to make people's blood boil even more than it is already.

Pete, I do not disagree but I would hope he thinks that through. Even if we were in good form our next two games are emminently loseable split by the non event of the Lincs Cup Final but add in a defeat to Lincoln and he will be having to retract his support within two weeks. Not do his already tarnished PR image much good. Probably a good time to hide your flag sticks!

For me, the club should be announcing the departure of Hurst or saying nothing, lest they add insult to injury.

Oh jolly great. More shite for me to moan about. FFS don't do it please. All we need to know is that PH has gone and JF is actively seeking a replacement. A board decision obviously but I think prefer if I choose the manager

"I have finally received my 10 tonne order of GTFC happy pills, place your order now and get a free ride around the block in my Aston Martin"
Is a possible headline backed up with some photo's of an open box of GTFC happy pills and JF leaning against his Aston Martin with his hands out wide and a great big grin from taking a handful of GTFC happy pills.

It reads as though the interview has been done already. If it contained anything other than the usual platitudes the GT would have used a different headline and published it tonight.
Move along please. Nothing to see here.

Just like famous people boosting their profile, Scott takes a swipe at Hurst, Hurst responds, Fenty tells them to kiss and make up and they are back managing together and under a media storm we blitz the league

It might be true that the fans want Fenty to issue a statement but not the one we now know we will get. You don't announce a day before or arrange a pre recorded interview to say you're sacking the manager. This means we are now stuck with him for at least another 3 or 4 games and given Hursts form he will manage to scrape a win in one of them means he will mange to scrape through until the season is over at Christmas.
To be honest I wonder how many fans think that i we win the next 2 games 7-0 and 6-1 that the team will have turned the corner and we will be promotion contenders again....I personally don'tm as we have already seen 2 big wins means nothing when your crap the rest of the time.

Think everyone's forgetting that JF is now a Fishy poster, so I'm expecting: "I'm completely p1ssed off with the club at the moment, and you won't see me in Blundell Park till we get a new manager." That would be pretty surreal, don't you think?

I think he'll state it's all David Burns fault, because he asks questions! Seriously, if he is agreeing that we have started badly and we should be beating these part-timers that we have come unstuck against, then only five words needed from him: Hurst out & I resign (we can hope).

I do kinda feel for hursty, he is inexperienced and will do good in the long run as a manager but its times like this that the club has to realise the importance of having a manager that can get this good team what we have playing at teams and ruining them, putting that fear factor like we did in the fa cup run over scunny, northampton and huddersfield. All town seem to do is either play well and not get anywhere or play shite and scrape a result. For me last nights game formation was ridiculous 451 at home against a team thats come here for the point and it worked for them. Id of gone 442 with oates and hannah and played to feet using the wings and not getting on our key players back on the eve of the game publicly.
I know and everyone knows fenty is going to support him no matter what so he may as well not waste his breathe on a statement and watch the gates plummet because of the poor situation at BP.

Unfortunately the guys at the telegraph haven't got the balls to ask the questions fenty won't want to answer. Instead it'll all be lead questions initiated by him. At least David Burns or Matt Dean get to the point. Reading the sport pages in the telegraph is pretty dull nowadays.

Fenty might say that "I share many of the fans concerns. I also think that we need better strikers and our performances have been boring at times. I blame the manager for most of this". (As a vote of no-confidence, this would probably mean that Hurst stays, football being football). .....................Ok, he won't say the above, but I bet that it will be better than his actual statement tomorrow.
