Funny how everyone on here rates Hurst these days. His 'boring' post match interviews and 'Yorkie' accent don't seem quite so important now.

Maybe a number of people have seen how he's turned shrews around , reflected on what he did here and maybe compared that to what's happened since he left. What's the old saying about never knowing what you've lost until it's gone?

Hurst is a winner, he’s won everywhere he’s been. I’m still a bit gutted he decided to leave us to be honest, but don’t blame the guy after the seemingly lack of support from the board, and the vitriolic abuse he received during our promotion, yes promotion season.
You don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone indeed.

Maybe it’s because we don’t have to listen to him any more.

There was a tendency to focus on the 'little' things and hold them against him, rather than looking at the 'big' things.
History will show that Paul Hurst got us back in the Football League with a 50% win ratio.
He brought some very good players to the town.
History will also show he went onto another club and turned their fortunes around drastically.
Yes, we got caught up with his lack of Plan B, stubbornness, ear-cupping reaction at Wembley, bringing Parslow on when 2-0 up at Chester and his Yorkshireness and so-called dour interviews.
But those were the little details. On reflection, they didn't really matter because the bigger picture is that he's been our most successful manager since Alan Buckley, whether you like to read that or not.

There's also the big club mentality still at play with some, who thought we had a divine right to be in the football league, and Hurst the easy job of guiding us there. In reality, it is a truly difficult task to get any team out of that league, just ask Wrexham, Luton, Tranmere, Hartlepool, Leyton Orient, Macclesfield etc

If Wednesday are happy to build to get success Hurst could be their man.He has promotions on his CV from each club he managed prior to his current role.
In his current role he dragged them off the bottom of their league to safety in his first 6 months/season and in the 2nd season has them in a good place to go up, not many managers can say that.
If he does not go to a club the size of Wednesday now I am sure he will do in the future.
Good luck to him he clearly works hard and anyone who grafts deserves success.

Hurst has proved himself as a very capable manager in the lower leagues. Done a good job wherever he's been. Built a consistent contender at Town and finally got us promoted and turned Shrewsbury from relegation strugglers to promotion hopefuls.
He's done his apprenticeship so to speak.
Loyalty?? There is none in football. These days a manager is probably only half a dozen bad results from the sack....no matter what he may have achieved before. So i wouldnt blame any manager to want to improve themselves given the chance. Wednesday would be a step up from Shrewsbury with much greater potential to take them further.
His connections to the club would make it a no brainer should he be offered the job.
Good luck to him.

I would take Hurst's dour interviews over Slade's stuttering slime that he spews out. I feel Slade is just trying to say what he thinks the fans want to hear. It's a hard choice for Hurst (if he is offered the job), Go for the money or go for the stability? Does he have the nous to manage players who think they're big time charlies, there's a massive step up from us and Shrews, compared to a club the size of Sheff Wed. I guess only time will tell.
