With no breaking news of Hursts departure it looks like we are stuck with him for another season.
He hasn't been capable of getting us promoted the last two seasons and will be unable to do it next season.  Hurst and Fenty will kill this club. Two more seasons of this league will see to that.

Maybe, maybe not. Can't see any alternative to Hurst myself, although i'm not a big fan of his pragmatic style. If Barnet and Bristol can do it, then so can we. Neither were what you would call fantastic footballing sides but each had something very slightly better than us. It can be rectified.

Fenty has put stupid amount of money into this club.

and Hurst is not far off being our most successful manager we have ever had.

Since Rob Scott departure we have been looking forward, removing the players with bad attitudes and replacing with players who wear the shirt with pride.

With Hurst in charge, i will be confident

"realist" is just a troll. Best to ignore him/her/it.

The pragmatic style mentioned by ginny is what we've seen from pretty much all of the teams to win promotion since we've been down here. Crawley, Wimbledon, Fleetwood, Mansfield, Luton and Barnet were all big, strong teams with no great class but a good goalscorer winning them the points. Cambridge and Bristol Rovers based their games on an excellent defence and hard-work throughout the rest of the team. It's only really York who I can think of who actually played their way out of the division in a different style and they only just scraped through! Newport were OK (but only took 1 point off our average team) but squeezed through the play-offs.

We're half of the way there. If we can maintain or improve on our good defensive record next season whilst scoring a good few more goals, no reason we shouldn't be in with a shout.

After all the positive vibes coming from everyone after the must gut wrenching ordeal in a long time that was a really poor pathetic and wrong post to put up. Paul Hurst got this group together who love the club and the fans and who next season will do all they can to give us what we want.  In Hurst we trust and in the next few days we will see which of the current squad we trust as well.  UTM and keep the faith are time will come !!

I keep asking, successful doing what, we haven't won anything under Hurst yet not even the FAT.

Howthefuck you could make such a statement to suggest he is anywhere near being more successful than say Alan Buckley is utter frigging lunacy.

Look at Gateshead ad halifax, in the play-offs last season, this season mid table, Hurst has got this ship steadied and we are constantly up at the top end of the table for the last 3 years

If we bring in another manager and let's say he gets us to the playoffs then most would say he has been successful and needs another season to see what he can do.

Now I am the first to say Paul has had a very good crack at it and when is enough enough but I firmly believe that he will win this league next season.

We had playoff semis two years ago, playoff final season just gone and next season has to be one better which will be promotion as champions.

I just feel it , we can't make a change now lets back him I know he is the right man, our man

Yeah, i've come to accept that pragmatic is the way forward in this league and we will have to stomach it before we get out of here, if we ever do.

As for Paul Hurst, i'm willing to bet that his win ratio is up there with our best managers, if not the best. Problem being that we've not had the results in a handful of crucial games for one reason or another. It's always a very fine line between success and failure unless you storm the league and i don't think many of our other managers have won any leagues outright. Finishing third in some leagues is automatic promotion and then he is hailed as a good manager, whereas down here, second is only a chance of glory through the play offs. He probably has the hardest job of any manager we've had with all the expectation and absolutely no margin for error. Sunday could have easily gone our way.

Who would you replace Hurst with? Or Fenty for that matter? I cant think of anyone who i'd trust not to come in and totally dismantle the team spirit and togetherness that hurst has built. Get contracts sorted and top up the squad with 2-3 very good signings and we'll romp this league but continuity is the key.
Its all well and good saying get hurst and fenty out but use your fricking username and be realistic.

Well arryarryarry I was one of those who said PH would get us promoted this season, but I will stick with my view that he will get us into Lge 2, ok it will have to be next season now though. UTM

The most obvious answer to this is that there is no alternative. I can't think of another manager at this level who would do any better and in any case he's hardly likely to be sacked is he? Statistically Hurst is a good manager and any other Conference club would be happy to have him with his record over the past 3 years. He'll be here unless he gets a better offer.

The problem for Town is that statistics alone don't get you promoted. You need the ambition to aim for top spot and an ambitious budget to get the players to do it.

That's what we need to see before the new season and once we have seen what the ambitions of the club are, that would be the time to pass judgement on our chances, not now.

You are entitled to your opinion of course but it does make me smile when many come on here and say he will get us promoted. I don't know how anyone can say that at this stage when we don't even know what the squad will be or even if Hurst will be in charge.

I'll hold my hands up and admit that I said we wouldn't get out of this tinpot league with PH as manager. That doesn't mean I don't support the club and the players by the way.

What I have to accept is that if Ross Joyce had made a correct (if difficult because of the occasion) decision on Sunday, we may well still be celebrating our return to League football. I still have issues with how the club is run - I firmly believe that some of our revenue from Sunday should be invested in improving our attacking and midfield options to go one step further without making major changes.

Bottom line is that PH should be given another season to succeed.

Rob Hurst as turned this club round into a team of players who believe in themselves, his loan signings have strengthened the squad physically and more important mentally. He booted out the bad apples and the spirit within the squad as been the best for years. This in turn as transfered to the fans who have had renewed faith in the club. This positive feeling MUST continue for us to stand any chance of getting out of here and Hurst as to be part of this.

Since when has a frustrated supporter been a troll?. I have also been called defreitas just because I have a different opinion to others.
Once the rose tinted specs have gone after a battling Wembley performance we will stil be stuck in this rubbish league.
so. No trolling or wind up. Just a personal opinion. I could be wrong but I doubt it, after all it looks like I'm the only one on here who backed and wanted Cameron to win.
I stand by what I originally posted I think our current manager will not get us out of this league.

So much for keeping the positive vibe.  

Unfortunately, no matter how well the team do, there will always be criticism of some kind from at least a minority.

But at least the optimists out number the pessimists for a change. I hope this pessimistic "Realist" is proven wrong.

Ive never been Hursts biggest fan, intact I would go as far as saying at christmas i would have given anything for him to be sacked!

HOWEVER....since then, the whole club has changed, the players, the fans, everything.

PH has done that, this squad we have now is amazing, the players are all mates and you can tell the team spirit is at its highest for years!! Probably since 98!

I have full faith in PH,  and John Fenty for that matter, I was in the lucky position to know what went out behind the scenes of the last few years, and its easy for people to point the finger at Fenty, but he was kept this club afloat.

What? Seriously, you actually typed that?

Honestly, really think about what you are saying, 'stuck with him'? Who else would you like in charge? Who else would you like to be our chairman? It's not like people are lining up to take charge, be careful what you wish for, as a conference side we have it pretty sweet, to make changes now would be catastrophic

Perhaps you would like to explain what is "sweet" about being a Conference side. Are you seriously suggesting you would rather be in the Conference than in the Football League.?

With no breaking news of Hursts departure it looks like we are stuck with him for another season.
He hasn't been capable of getting us promoted the last two seasons and will be unable to do it next season.  Hurst and Fenty will kill this club. Two more seasons of this league will see to that.

green ticks....4       red crosses......94

That must be a record.....

Perhaps you would like to explain what is "sweet" about being a Conference side. Are you seriously suggesting you would rather be in the Conference than in the Football League.?




Would you rather us be in the conference or rather us have no club at all, if it wasnt for JF you wouldnt have that choice.I find it "sweet"to have a Football club in my home town to support,even at this level but obviously like everyone else would love to see us back in the football league.

To be honest I can't be arsed to go back and check but it would be interesting to found out who said that this season Hurst would get us promoted.




I would say PH did pretty much everything humanly possible to get us promoted and until around 4.30 on Sunday I thought he would.  We lost out in the league because we started the season with massive issues around injury and suspension.  Hard to imagine that we started the season pinning our hopes on Alan Connell who has hardly played a game of football lower down the pyramid since, and scored no goals.  We were in close contention for automatic promotion until the final 2 weeks of the season.  We were the better team at Wembley and if extra time hadn't come to an end there was only one team going to win it.  It was noticeable how our side showed superior fitness at Wembley (thanks to PH maybe?) - towards the end Bristol were out on their knees - at one stage 3 players were down with cramp.  Most people acknowledge that a bit of backbone from the ref would have seen us 1-0 against 10 men with 70 minutes remaining.  Unfortunately PH couldn't take all the penalties, though he seems like the kind of bloke who would have taken one given the chance.

I'd rather have had a chairman that had sacked Neil Woods before he was allowed to drag us out of the Football League.

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God


Fenty has put stupid amount of money into this club.

and Hurst is not far off being our most successful manager we have ever had.

Since Rob Scott departure we have been looking forward, removing the players with bad attitudes and replacing with players who wear the shirt with pride.

With Hurst in charge, i will be confident


"Fenty has put stupid amount of money into this club" you are right there mate stupid is the word. If he had not made so many stupid decisions while at the helm of GTFC may be he wouldn't have had to put as much money into the club. Also he seems to have done a very good job again with the club being 277,000k in the red this year.

"Hurst is not far off being our most successful manager we have ever had"
ye as successful as Bobby Roberts.
    
    Paul Hurst
    Lincolnshire Senior Cup: 2011–12, 2012–13

See below for SUCCESS
    
    Alan Buckley
    Division Four runners up, Promoted: 1990
    Division Three 3rd place, Promoted: 1991
    Auto Windscreens Shield winner: 1998
    Division Two Play-off winner: 1998

    George Kerr
    Division 3 Champions 1980

Paul Hurst can come no where near these two as a Manager in honours or footballing style in a million years.

Not living in the past just pointing out the difference between my interpretation of success as opposed to the notion that losing in the play offs is success.


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.

Hurst should not be beyond criticism.

He has made some huge mistakes this season and he has failed in his primary objective of getting us promoted. I think he has done really well to finally assemble a balanced and committed squad but obviously this was done far too late. Whether he will receive the same financial backing next season remains to be seen and I certainly think another terrible start to the season could see the knives out again.

Ermmm no, where in my post does it say that?

My point is that compared to other conference clubs we have good set up and I personally don't want that to change as I think it would make things worse, so I was just saying be careful what you wish for

What's your point? Historically as a side that has played mostly in the upper reaches of the Football League we have it pretty excrement.

As it stands - we are a Conference side. Relatively speaking we do have it pretty sweet. High attendances, a team that has made the play offs three years on the bounce and we're not scratching around signing players who have been injured for most of the last two years.

so. No trolling or wind up. Just a personal opinion. I could be wrong but I doubt it, after all it looks like I'm the only one on here who backed and wanted Cameron to win.
I stand by what I originally posted I think our current manager will not get us out of this league.

Fenty has put stupid amount of money into this club.

Fenty has killed our club! His record over the 10 years plus, that he has been a director is shambolic, both in and out of the boardroom.  If he was a director of any other company, the company would have gone bust through a lack of customers years ago, the fact that this is GTFC means some of us just cannot desert it.
Hurst deserves to stay, but Fenty must go.  All those saying he just keeps pumping money in and there is no one else willing to invest are in cuckoo land.  He has had many people willing to invest on the proviso he leaves the club, because they could not work with such an incompetent man.  I do not understand how any fan can support him?  Of the quote above, the only too words I agree go together are: Fenty & stupid.

Not really sure that a debt of £3million and counting and a dilapidated stadium is all that sweet tbh

There are many ways in which frustration manifests itself. The reason I called you a troll (and don't forget there were many -me included who shared your opinion on PH) was that your comments came within 48 hours of us missing promotion by the narrowest of margins. You were clearly trying to stir up reaction. Anyone that was there knows that Bristol could and should have been down to 10, maybe even 9 men.

You talk of personal opinions and the election - totally irrelevant - this is a forum for football fans, how you or I or anyone else voted is not relevant to GTFC.

Thank you That's exactly what i meant LH just couldn't put it across as well as you  

I never meant it to be 'sweet' in the conference I meant we have it pretty good compared to other clubs in our league.

No one wants us to be in the conference so I'm not quite sure why arryarry is even asking that question

Errr !  I think if you dig deeper you will find he is a director of another company that is doing very well.

And that's the point - many of us remember the days when Chelsea, West Ham, Man City and Newcastle came to town. Boreham wood, Braintree and Barrow are a little less mouth-watering.

We've played all four of those in the last 20 years but only one in the league when they had their own period of playing below their level. I don't really get your point from not playing big teams in the cup anymore?

No need to be sorry, fans from other clubs are very welcome, well except Lincoln (Gimps) and Scumthorpe (dirty Scunts).

There will be some on here who will not have you saying that your fans forum mirrors ours, because they believe it is a Grimsby thing.

I hope you continue to enjoy visiting the fishy and who the fcuk is Irene  


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

IRENE?  not a clue!! apparently it was an anthem at Plymouth Argyle many years ago, and seems that Rovers fans then adopted it and then adapted it to fit in with the Rovers name, but it is rather tedious i have to admit
and got sort of boring on Sunday,,,  there were several  groups of rovers fans dotted around, notably upper tier around the half way line trying to get some other sounds going, but too many  one day spectators were not willing to join in, had the same where i was ,just behind the goal line again upper tier[dizzy too!!!] but not a lot of joy in getting people to join in, the bonus of how your ticket sales went was that  you guys were all in together and generated a fantastic sound all through the game   and fair play to you all for that,  
think that see tickets were the wealthiest people at the end of the day @£3:00 a ticket x 47,029!!!!
