If hundreds of people gave you dogs abuse (to the level he got at Halifax) just for doing what you thought was right in your job wouldn't you take the opportunity to push back a bit?


He is not the first manager to get such a reaction after a excrement performance, he should have risen above it rather than having a go at the fans, unfortunately at that time he didn't have the class to leave well alone.

Ryan Air dont do too bad out of it.


I agree but air travel in the 21st century is almost a must for many Unlike cheap jewellery and 4th tier football

I really do n't understand the hate.hope Hurst continues to have a long and fruitful career as a manager.he did us no wrong whatsoever


At the end of the day he's made a lot of town fans look very silly. I'd like to think our current young up and coming manager will get the opportunity to improve with us without getting abuse for every tactical mistake and every comment he makes that is taken out of context. I won't hold my breath though.

I don’t understand the hate but I certainly don’t think he has made a lot of town fans look silly.

Anyone who knows anything about the game can see what Hurst has been about for the past 4-5 seasons. He is a clever bloke when it comes to managing his own ambitions. He understands the value of reputation when it comes to a new job with a new club and he knows when and where to move. He has always been on a winner at Shrewsbury regardless of whether he reached the playoffs. Joining a club that was down the bottom gives an ideal opportunity especially with a budget to sign a few decent players. But the heart of his side at Wembley were loanees so effectively if he stays he has to start all over.

He did an interesting interview for the BBC after the game.

If he does go to Ipswich the interesting question will be how long he stays and where he goes from there. The fans there want more than just bragging rights over Norwich and he could find himself in the same situation as he was at Town - successful but not successful enough quick enough. But if he could get them to the play-offs he will be away again and the world is his oyster.

Mr Jolley  has a lot more astute attitude than our previous management , I believe his faux pa s will be a rather than on the ground , he also seems to have a blunt honesty about him .

Yeah of course he should, we all would have been able to, wouldn't we?

I think this ear cupping thing is an after final after thought, on the day I can't remember too many moaning, then again I can't remember that much to be fair.

Coventry make the brighter start in the play-off final.
Latest  0-0.

Not much of a spectacle so far....

Maybe once the players tire and the game gets a bit stretched in the second half it might liven things up

The difference between Hurst and Jolley is,

If we played crap and lost 4-0 to a team we should have won,

Michael would not have a go at the fans that went instead he would have said that was crap and the fans deserve better.

Just my opinion like.
