Would have to be a short one way street with a road surface like the A180 that gives off a monotonous drone when you listen to it

A good discussion taking place on TalkSport this evening about Paul Hurst.
Discussing what a great manager that he is emerging as, and that one way or the other it looks like a manager that is progressing through the pyramid and will be plying his trade in the Championship very soon.
The suggestion is that clubs like Sheffield Weds are taking an interest in him, but that in any event he is looking like arriving in the Championship with Shrewsbury if a Championship club doesn't come and get him soon.
Made me feel as sick as a parrot, listening to him getting the accolades and coverage on a national sports radio station, knowing that he was our manager and a gaffer that I valued so highly. Oh well

It makes me sick that some fans fail to see a good manager when they've got on, or when they don't know when they've got something good. I'm sure at the time we didn't all fully appreciate that we were well and truly punching above our weight by winning at Wolves in the Championship and winning at Anfield. Some still can't see that despite the dour interviews (which I mildly disagree with as he said some interesting stuff in them and I almost always agreed with him on everything he said) and the fundamentally conservative approach that we had a properly good manager in Paul Hurst. Some of his signings (Arnold, Podge, Omar, Dis, Pearson, Toto, Gowling, Tait, Magnay, Nolan, Lenny, Hearn and Macca) were all high quality players for that level and let's not forget most of our better performers IMO this year (Summerfield, McKeown, Collins, Davies, Mills and even Berrett was good earlier on) are all Hurst signings. What makes me even sicker mind, is when a chairman (or whatever he calls himself) fails to see it also, "Paul Hurst part of the furniture" 6 weeks later he's gone. Didn't let him have a S&C coach that he wanted, my gut feeling is that his budget wasn't as large as he expected or needed in all honesty. He didn't realise he had something good either and should have been more amenable to Hurst's demands, plus his snidey comments about him in Bignot's press conference, as it's clear to me that Hurst would never has gone off to Shrewsbury unless there'd been a row between the two.

Are you related to Paul Hurst? Don't recall you posting about anything other than him, including any actual GTFC games.

If he was that good at signing high quality players, why did it take him 4 years to get us promoted and that, as I mentioned earlier was quite lucky? Was it poor tactics then?

Budget as we couldn't compete with the likes of Dover, it's then obvious our budget would be lowered compared to most of the clubs in League 2 and we didn't have the backroom staff like other well run clubs.

Don't be so ridiculous. That's like suggesting all those stating the virtues of a fan owned club should intercourse off and support one. Am I allowed to support Town and rate other team's managers or players?

How is attaining a playoff spot over the course of a season, and then winning the play offs 'lucky' in any way?
