Far too many precious Town fans on here
"Pleased he copulated off to Shrewsbury" - what? cos he didn't blow you kisses?

Yeah, I'm really pleased we lost one of the best young managers in the country

Alan Buckley never had a love in with the fans - he was almost embarrassed IMO when the fans sang "give us a wave" and he felt compelled to wave back... ah, bless!

As long as a manager is not downright dismissive of fans then that's fine - a number of managers are not the best at showing emotion etc but they get the job done which is what we all want, surely

Cue "it took Hurst 6 years blah blah"

Move on....

I'm not particularly arsed about Hursts time at Shrewsbury but I would say one thing, it's extraordinary how his teams meltdowns come at EXACTLY the same time of year, every year.

It's funny how he complains that 5,000 Shrews fans are too quiet yet once said his Grimsby team didn't perform as they were nervous in front of 4,000 noisy fans at BP.
For all that he's good at what he does, he was a very hard working manager and will always have success to some degree, and this is down to his stubbornness and single-minded will to stick to his gameplan.

Nothing too wrong with that but downfall is his personality, he's grumpy, prickly and unwilling to even consider anything that goes even slightly against 'the plan'. That's admirable in some ways but as some fans in the past, and at his present club have said, he sometimes fixates on this and it becomes a bit of a distraction.

I think he'll be exactly the same character whether he's managing in Shropshire, Yorkshire or Nebraska.

Like him. Wish him well with his career. Took us out of a league that is notoriously a nightmare to get out of. He'll manage in the premier league.

To clarify, I like Paul Hurst as manager, wasn't always pretty but it was effective and we're seeing now what a good manager he is.

What I didn't agree with with was his disdain and lack of appreciation for the fans!

I'd have Paul Hurst back as Town manager in a shot, he knows how to set a team up, great eye for a player and we would never been under threat of relegation under him.

A meltdown at the top of league one sounds blissful compared to where we are
