Ah that little used word pendantic adj. like a pendant OED. Sorry mate. Beginner's error. Come back when you've got a few good spots under your belt. 
See what what I mean... bloody pedant  |

Sorry, I thought the thread was "Hurst Out" not a spelling test.
We should let Paul have until/if we fail to get promotion before deciding to dispense with his services.

It's called banter-this board has been missing it lately. Tell me. Do you go out on that there moor baht'at? Good training for night games at Blundell Park... |

It is admirable to believe that Hurst should have until the end of the season, but I think the writing is on the wall for everyone to see. He's lost the dressing room and lost the majority support of fans. We have enough points in hand to give a new manager a chance to get us promoted. Everything now seems so stale.
Where the "give Hurst until the end of the season" argument falls down is the following scenario. If we do not get promoted and he gets the sack where will that leave us? Very few players left on contract, the rest, free agents. During the time it will take to appoint a new manager our best players will have moved on and will shy away from any uncertainty. If we get a new manager in now, at least the players will be offered some continuity. IF Fenty does choose well then I don't think the new manager will have any less of a chance than Hurst to get us promoted. A freshen up is what we and the players need. A new manager may also pull a couple of gems in the loan market off, players he knows well and trusts.
I'm not anti- Hurst, even though I think he's always been uninspiring and one dimensional. I'm just realistically and passionately pro-GTFC and don't think Hurst will ever deliver what we desperately need. A win against Woking won't change our long term future. It will delay our club's best interests.
I can just foresee the situation in June where we have no manager and only two or three players if Fenty doesn't act now.

Decent post Bigdog.
Your second paragraph is something that I've thought of and which concerns me too.

5 years ago tomorrow, Neil Woods was sacked having just drawn 1-1 with relegation strugglers Forest Green Rovers. We were 9th in the league.
Today, 5 years on, we are 3rd, 9 points better off than 9th placed Braintree. I'll leave you to decide whether Hurst has done a good job or not.

Pearson and Gowling have contracts for next year plus we will have options on some contracts. |

The best post I've seen arguing for a change. Nice to see a well constructed argument which doesn't show a personal dislike of Hurst or pour scorn on anyone with a different point of view. |
