Paul Hurst interview

Monkhouse............I still shudder at the thought.......

Quoted from Hagrid

At this present moment no i wouldnt. So i should have worded it better, i like what MJ is doing at the moment

Sorry I should have figured from your original post that you did not literally mean you would have him back at this very moment!

Monkhouse............I still shudder at the thought.......

Really?

The guy was an extremely professional player, who was used as a target man for the hoof ball, not his fault.

I've said it before, but we've had a lot worse

Interesting to hear him say he left because Grimsby as a club weren’t progressing once we got back in the league. And I think it’s been well documented what he meant. So let’s not turn this into a JF bashing please.  He then said  it I’m sure they’re progressing now. But (genuine question), in terms of backroom staff, facilities etc, what has MJ got that PH didn’t have ?

Not how I remember it. Their keeper had a worldie at BP and they scored from a Mckeown howler. The second leg we were absolutely hammering them, even with 10 men. The second sending off was when they really got on top. The stats from the second leg don't agree with my memory, but I seem to think a lot of their chances were in the last 10 minutes when we were chasing the game.

Even with the 10 men if Macca hadn’t chucked that one in early doors we’d have won that afternoon. I remember the red card looked to galvanise us, despite the ridiculousness of it. We also could’ve been out of sight after the first leg. How we lost that tie still baffles me now.

First leg perhaps I was overly harsh, I can only really remember coming out being bitterly disappointed about the result. Second leg we were poor. Their first did come from a McKeown howler but neither side had done anything of note in the first half. Second half we were battering them but only once we'd gone down to ten men which seemed to spur the players on somewhat. We had a 15 minute spell where we were well on top at that point but obviously the second sending off did for us.

Quoted from wigworld

Less bitter and twisted than he's seemed in previous interviews.

That's because he's on the back foot now

Quoted from Civvy at last

Didn't we buy some washing machines or something after Jolley came in so the players don't have to wash their own kit?

Maybe Hurst had to do all the washing when he was here!  

Great interview
Very revealing - has a lot more to say about Scott I think, but probably not worth it

Good to know he has no hard feelings over his departure - but most managers would say that cos it's not wise to burn bridges

I think he is more a players manager than a fans manager - the squad was very tight knit and very loyal to Hurst

And I'd rather have that than someone trying to please the fans all the time and overseeing a club in decline

Did a great job at GTFC - and I wish him all the best (apart from when Scunny play us)

So, which one of you that is going tonight is going to get the message to Agent Hurst to let him know what a great job he's doing at the minute?
