I agree with what you have written. I am emotionally drained by GTFC. It has been going on for 15 years now. No progress. We have just gone into a spiral of decline. Always promises but nothing happens. A great club is in the gutter. I keep hoping that we will avoid relegation in the end but, in truth, I have reconciled my mind to it happening.
Whatever Hurst did he was on a loser. I am astonished at those who are laying into him. This situation is ingrained into the heart of the club and has been building up for years and people expect him to rescue it in a matter of weeks. Get real.
When the new people get to grips with this we can hopefully rebuild. But Hurst should not be the scapegoat for the poor management of others who have been running the club over the last decade and more.
I was shot to pieces by someone for stating this and got a catalogue of Hurst's alleged errors and now, apparently, some want Holloway back.
Don't expect miracles, folks. They rarely happen.
Has anyone said they want Holloway back? Some have said we are worse now than we were under Holloway, but no-one has said they'd want him back as far as I've seen. |

Well said HM I hope Hurst doesn't turn in to the fall guy here while those really responsible sneak out the back door, with all the loot |

Just a thought. Who approached Hurst in the first place ?
Does that give you anymore hope for future appointments by the new owners ? If JF had been instrumental this time then the fishy would be in meltdown with their abuse of him .
Only time will tell and Hurst is tried and trusted so we thought he would sort it .

Can you point to the posters who suggested they wanted Holloway back so we can laugh at them. |

I would sooner have Marcus back than the miserable little excrement Hurst.
What is he doing on the training ground? It is possible to get a bunch of really poor players to work effectively together and get results. Hurst can't. All we see now is a team set up to play to each player's weaknesses . It is really poor management and coaching and the current team must take the criticism for what is happening now.

i think i'm right in saying that he approached the new consortium. I'd refer you to Ginny's post about the futility of constantly changing managers. I'd add that the fact that most of us have accepted we will be in the non league desert next season. Therefore you have to ask yourself if there are many better non league managers out there? At least Hurst will have had 5-6 months to get a good idea of what he has and what he will need. Hurst resigns in May and we will go through the same rigmarole again - new manager appointed takes time to assess his squad and is then playing catch up as he tries to sign players to fill the gaps |

But Hursts record in non league wasn’t good enough. All those years to get promoted with his negative tactics all the time nearly finished me.

Holloway may have picked up more points over the same amount of games as Hurst, but there’s no doubt we were nose diving under him. Had he stayed longer, I’d be surprised if our predicament would be any different. Unfortunately hurst hasn’t been able to halt the slide. But let’s not pretend this plummet into the abyss is a one season thing, it’s been happening for far too long. It doesn’t matter who our manager is or which players we bring it, the clubs a poison chalice. A lot needs to change before we’ll become a respectable club again, and most of that is outside of the managers control.
Bloody excrement being a town fan right now, but we can only hope for better days.

Good enough to have us in the play offs four seasons running. |

And finishing as losers in most of them. Play offs are worthless unless you win. I can honestly say I would sooner not go to a play off final and come away as a loser again. So much hope shattered by team Hurst
