Quoted from MarinerDevil
It's amazing that people now criticise the breaking up of the promotion squad, when almost everyone was in agreement that it needed significant improvements after it had limped over the line.  Hurst knew this more than anyone and set about laying the foundations for a pretty good L2 side, which contained Summerfield and Berrett as central figures, don't forget.  

.



It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't broken it up so drastically or so quickly and then copulated off. If he'd kept the spine, keeper, 2xCB (Toto and Shaun) 2xmid (Nolan and Disley) and the 2 strikers (Amond and Bogle) and built on from there

But some of the players you mentioned were released by Slade - Disley and Shaun. Amond could have stayed but turned down an 18 month deal in the January. Bogle was sold under Bignot and Toto left to go to pastures new under Hursts' watch. So Hurst didn't really break up the squad as much as you imply.

Toto, Amond, Arnold and Nolan were simply not offered enough money to stay simple.

I didn't say Hurst released Shaun and Disley merely that if he had kept and built around a spine (missed Arnold out earlier BTW) which included them he could have built the 'Div 4 quality' side he wanted - the disapperance of those players was the beginning of the rot continued by firstly Bignot and then Slade
