If you read some recent comments from Amond it suggests Hurst wanted him to stay but wasn’t given the funds.


If you have a proven goalscorer and he wants to

If you have a proven goalscorer and he wants to stay and you can afford him you resign him, That is the most critical position to fill of all and a lack of one can see you relegated. If i knew for sure we would have Dennis or Wes next sewwason i would be confident of 2019 buty until weve signed at least one of them im not putting my money on them at the bookies for next season,

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 ....


AB said at his last speakers evening that the supporters treat him better now then when he was in charge.

I remember one supporter tearing up and chucking at him there season ticket before the 97/98 season at a fans forum because they were so disgusted he was back..

Tearing up a season ticket before the season seems a bit of a waste no matter who the manager is, you'd have thought they would at least see a game first...

Wow. It would be good to get to the bottom of that so that we know who the real culprit is.

I had assumed it was Hurst to blame. If is was JF then it changes things considerably in my view. If true, it's no wonder he left us.

I was told by an ex player that Hurst didn't rate Amond as highly as the supporters did when he was here. I also recall an Amond quote where he told supporters 'he didn't want me'. I think we can be fairly confident that Podge's departure was down to a wrong call from Hurst.

I'll mention no.names, but I am good friends with an ex Hurst player who has reiterated several times that Hurst was a tosser to work for, and if you weren't in his inner sanctum he spoke to the players like cr@p...the man was completely unapproachable and arrogant bordering on the point of ignorance...so you ask why Amond, Arnold and a few others couldn't wait to get away...look no further than a poisoned dwarf .

JF has never interfered with the build of a squad like that. He has always provided a budget and let the manager get on with it. It's inconceivable that Hurst wanted to offer Podge more but JF stepped in and said "no, you must spend that on another player".

It was telling that although he offered Podge and Arnold contracts, he never heard back from them and that was that. Compare that to the effort Jolley went to to keep Macca last summer.

Thats contrary to what a lot of players have said about Hurst.

It’s possible a lot of players from that era (and indeed Rob Scott) don’t have the best things to say about Hurst, but a lot of players from that era and Rob Scott failed us. Those that took us up generally have good things to say about Hurst. At least publicly.
