If he does go (I’ve asked this before), realistically who comes in to replace him? I’m personally discounting the Cowley’s based on the fact they managed in the championship recently.

No no never ever


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Desperate for 3 points today but 90mins later only 1 shot on target!
That tells you all you need to know.

Quoted from Steve Richards
Is this gif real? Sorry it’s just complete rubbish. 4 point from 30 Hurst is not our saviour. He has shut the door on Williams and says Scannell is not fit but plays Bunny left wing. Saying that what is the point of any midfield when either the defenders are encouraged to or aren’t capable of anything more than hoofing it up the pitch. Dreadful!!!


Williams is a fanny! Scannell has a track record of injuries and poor fitness but on paper CDAJATL.

I’m disappointed with some of the stuff I’ve seen from Hurst. I get that he may have had trouble recruiting as people wouldn’t be queuing up to join a sinking ship but some of the selection, shape and substitutions have made me think he’s trying to be too clever for his own good.

I’m 50/50 at the moment but I reckon he’s going to have to have a fighting finish to keep his job.

I voted no. Didn’t particularly want him back anyway and cannot for the life of me look forward to five years of brain numbing football on the conference.  


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

It's a no from me for 2 main reasons.

Things are going to be very difficult next season in terms of numbers of fans attending and how many will show an interest.  After everything we have all been through, how many are going to be tempted to say that is enough,  season ticket sales are going to be a hard sell. To help all this, you need a manager who inspires fans,  motivates them, visually appears motivated. Now I am not for one second saying Hurst isn't motivated or trying, I'm sure he is, but I don't think he comes across in the public domain as that person.  He isn't that battle cry leader needed to get the fans on side. Look at the fans now,  it's at least a 50/50 split. We can't start a new season with a manager that divides the fans so much.

Secondly, I really hope and expect the new owners have the local community at the very front of their plans, including the development of our own players and proper use and progression of the youth team. We all know Hurst does not fit this mold. We need a long term plan with a long term manager, tasked with promoting youth- so what I am saying may sound like I'm contradicting myself, I hate all the changes,  I want a settled team and manager,  I just don't think Hurst is the right long term option.

For what it is worth I don't really have an opinion on if he stays rest of the season now- I think we are down if he stays or if someone else takes over.

Yes he had a transfer window to work with but with very little time to prepare for and had no time to research or cherry pick his best options. Hurst had to bolt a new 11 together in 31 days to try and improve a hopeless squad with no pre-season to work within an already a bleak position.
I think he needs a season to get it right with the best players he can get and when we do get back up keep it together.
