Skewed thinking ?  You have a short memory . Next time you bump into Alan ask him about it ..... I was there through it all and a section of support were pleased when he was sacked . That is a fact ....


I've no doubt you are right. There were fans that disliked Buckley, and i'm sure there are some fans who dislike everything and just go for a moan, but where i disagree with you is that you implied the same fans who disliked Buckley also disliked Hurst, and that's not the case. I know plenty who loved Buckley but couldn't stand Hurst. I don't have a short memory, and that is also a fact.

I never quite understood Hurst good judge of a player thought he did well here getting us back up out of the conference. It may have took 6 years but still no easy task other teams have fared worse.

The fact that he never really tried to get the fans onside  and then to finish with the ear cupping at Wembley was ridiculous.

Had success at a few clubs and not really liked at any says a lot, I guess

Quoted from MuddyWaters
As you might expect, a little dig at the GTFC finances.


but also the truth....every recent manager has said exactly the same, the infrastructure is way behind, the sports science, facilities, fitness, dietician etc
Our spell in non league may be used as an excuse for that so Hurst may feel that by getting us out of there and the additional income generated should have allowed him to improve that.  But not a chance with the tight ship finances we have.

We all know what happened at the end of that season and the failings of the club to profit out of the feel good factor from turning over the Veggie Green Rovers.

Bristol Rovers kept most of their promotion team whilst the following year, we dismantled ours.


Their team was much better than ours (they came a point off top spot, not 21).

Alan Buckley wasn't loved by a section of our support which makes it no supprise that that same section didn't like PH .  He brought success and a winning mentality back to the team . If the same supporters carry on beating up on Jolley he to will have his head turned and we will end up with another merry go round ..... All Imo of course


Hurst must've split the support 50-50. Surely the Jolley ratio is nearer 99-1?

Yes - the one who prattles on about us releasing a proven goalscorer and then moans when we signed one the other week.

Fair enough, no apology needed.

I think Hurst hit the nail on the head with what he said about finances - wanted a strength and conditioning coach like others in the league didn't he? Was supposedly promised it would change if we went up. Then when we went up there was no money for it. When he went one of the first things the new manager wanted was a s&c coach and we had to cough up for one anyway didn't we? Would far rather have had Hurst spending the bogle cash than big not. It's the toughest league to get out of and he got us there, eventually, with a great connection between fans and players and good team spirit in the camp - albeit with a big dose of monkhouse injury luck.
Agree with what people have said about dour personality, cautious teams and bigging up opposition tho.
