I cannot do the National League again - I hated it first time around. Whilst I will always be grateful for Hurst getting us out I was so bored with the football under him. I have seen nothing to suggest a change so far.
After the Holloway fiasco I wasn't too upset over his appointment as we definately needed a steady hand on the wheel - but all the old reminders are still there for me. So no...new owners.....new everything!!

I more or less had stopped going last time he was in charge because of the style of football and if he stays the same will apply so I would want change.
I honestly thought his reappointment was a wise move as his pragmatic approach would see us get enough points for safety but reality has shown yet again I was wrong when it comes to recruiting a new Manager.
Town will still be an attractive job for many up and coming Manager and a good salary would help attract someone of the required quality but as for who this should be I’ve decided I’m clueless at selecting managers so pleased that will be a decision for someone else.

How the intercourse anyone wants a bloke that can't save our league status and had 6 years to get us out of non league playing mind numbing football ever want him to do the same is beyond me.
Its already been proved over the last dozen games hes as much smoke and mirrors as the last male masturbator we had in charge.

Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Getting out of the Conference is no easy task. Look at Wrexham who are still languishing down there.

Thanks to him for stepping in, but next season needs to be about change. Everywhere.

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.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for developing our youth set up if it's got a chance of attaining results, but we've produced virtually nothing of great value over the past thirty years. For all Woodsy's valiant efforts, so far it has to be deemed another failing part of our club. Facilities? Coaching? Scouting? Catchment area? Bigger clubs poaching the odd one or two? Something or everything's not right with it along with every other aspect of the club. And if we get relegated, funding is massively reduced. To plug the gap in funding, do we pour potential first team playing budget down a seemingly black hole? Long term, would the Brentford set up of not having a youth system work for us, the Peterborough method of hoovering up non-league talent or do we try to emulate Exeter who seem to be popping out starlets every season? Much depends on the level of club infrastructure funding the new consortium are going to provide or attract. Measured on actual physical outcomes rather than sentimentality, our current youth system is vastly overrated on here when it comes to producing valuable home grown talent. It's not even paying for itself, never mind being a wealth creator for the club.. |
