My first post on here was in February of the promotion season. It was prompted by being frustrated in Hurst's insistence of playing Disley and Nolan in a midfield two and playing Monkhouse, instead of putting Clay in there. Let's face it, the performances and results were hardly that of a promotion team in those two or three months. It seemed like Hurst had run out of ideas until that fateful injury. I'm sure Hurst learned a lot on that day in Braintree too. The rest they say is history. I now have less reservations about Hurst's ability and my perspective of him has changed. He has blossomed in a new working environment and it begs the new question, was he being held back at GTFC? We can never know for sure, but time and events can temper a view or even change an opinion. To call someone an idiot for changing their mind when the evidence changes is a bit off isn't it? Surely the idiot is the one who doesn't change his mind when evidence points to the contrary..
I'm not calling people idiots for changing their mind, I'm calling the people who hung a "Hurst out" banner over the M180 and the like idiots. My point about the mind changing is more about how the club can't win. They get beaten on for sticking with a manager that ultimately got us promoted and now get beaten on for letting him go. This is my point about negativity. It's goes beyond critical when everything is criticised by the same people whatever the decision. |

I'll agree with you about fans using hindsight to criticise the club regarding Hurst. The problem is that you're using a very unique example and trying to lump everything else into the "club can't win whatever it does" pot There's a litany of mistakes and failures that the club have made that could have easily been avoided with a bit of common sense or if it had the mindset, skills, or ability to address them properly.. The one person the club can't afford to kid or dismiss is the paying customer and especially the customer who has decided to stop paying.. It's delusional to offer more of the same, refuse help that is offered, and plough on with a very narrow entrenched bunker mentality mindset.. |

2700 today if you are lucky .. . Too late to start slagging off a tiny minority of fans for past indiscretions . The club's failure to learn from past mistakes is going to cost the club again . This time the fans are going too leave you to it though ... even charging 5 quid a game isn't gonna save you this time .

More like Mrs Fenty 👍 |
| 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.
