Sums things up beautifully for me. We have made no progress and are not moving forward. So far but no further is what Hurst is about. He seemingly cannot take us to the next level and has this window to sort us out and crack on, otherwise it's bye bye.
Is it bye though? Not sure what it entails but isn't there a "rolling" contract in place?

As far as I understand, a rolling contract means that, if it's a year, you are entitled to a year's compo if it's terminated. If that's the case, PH will get the same if he goes tomorrow or in the summer.

Instead of sacking him and paying him a years salary as compo how about the club put him on gardening leave for a year? His record is one which would attract potential employers so if anybody wants him they can take him on but no compo would be paid to PH by GTFC, other than the salary he is paid between being put on gardening leave and him being employed by another club.?

A really good contribution made by Caesar in this thread summing up ( I reckon) the feelings of many frustrated Town fans.

I have worked out the league table for the last 3 seasons. For all the teams which have been in the division for the last 3 years. We are second, but we have by far the best away record (100 points away compared to Kiddie's 86)! Carry on doing what we are doing and we are bound to get promoted one day because we are consistently one of the better sides.
Team P Pts Kidderminster 123 211 Grimsby 124 209 Wrexham 121 182 Gateshead 122 179 Forest Green 121 179 Braintree Town 121 179 Woking 122 175 Macclesfield 121 175 Lincoln City 120 163 Alfreton Town 120 154 Nuneaton 122 146 Southport 118 137 Dartford 120 133
Alarmed at this Rob you are saying stick and one day we will get promoted.Hate to point out the obvious but with only one automatic spot and our average point total per year we would never finish better than 2nd so what are you basing the one day on?

See your point Rob and undersand where you are coming from. I have always felt consistency is the key and we have struggled for changing managers too often.
The problem is more and more of us no longer believe Hurst will get us out of this league. You seem to be suggesting the old "if you don't buy a ticket you don't win the raffle" argument. Each year we are there or there abouts so eventually we must go up. While there is some sense to that logic there is also other facts that undermine it.
Kiddy top that table but missed out on playoffs last year, currently in a similar position to us (i.e. miles off top spot) but currently outside the playoffs
Luton Town and Cambridge got promoted last year, the year before that they finihed 7th and 13th respectively.
Mansfield and Newport got promoted the year before that, and the season before they went up they finsihed 3rd and 19th respectively.
Fleetwood and York got promoted, before that after finishing 5th and 8th.
I think this shows it is not about "always being there so we have a chance" but about being able to progress and improve so that eventually we are much better, we seem to have stabalised and stagnated and seem unable based on the last 2 years at least to take the extra step forward we need to.
I hope I am wrong and Hurst is the man to get us out of this league, I hope I am at Wembley lamenting my foolishness for doubting this analysis (I no longer think we have any chance of winning the league but again would love to be proved wrong.). And equally I do not have a clear plan or solution for how to get us out of this position, however I think that Hurst has not shown us he is the man to get us out of here and history does not show that just hanging round the playoffs will get us there.
Excellently put.
