It's not really the same thing though is it, Fenty has had free reign to do what he pleases. Managers, Hurst included operate within the framework set by the board.

No managers have managed to garner any level of success within the parameters set by Fenty, with the exception, to a degree of Hurst.

I don't dispute he's made a poor fist of it this time around, but I honestly think anyone would have found it a slog. BTW I wanted Alexander, but didn't think Hurst was a terrible choice.


Under normal circumstances you are correct. For the last 10 games Hurst is responsible to nobody. JF has cheque for £2.5 million waiting to be sign, the consortium don't own the club therefore Hurst is a loose cannon that keeps backfiring.

Quoted from WesternMariner
I’m not a great fan of Hursts style of football. I cut my teeth on Sir Alan and a bit before that watching teams with Drinkell, Ford, Batch, Waters et al - for those on here who don’t remember they’re why we had a reputation for playing the game the right way.

However - those who want to move him on and who say we’re making the same mistake as we did with Fenty ( ie not getting rid when things have gone wrong) haven’t learnt the same lesson that Fenty failed to learn himself. Continuity wins football matches. Chopping and changing eventually lands you in the excrement. Where might we be now if Fenty had sprung a few bob on a conditioning coach and kept the core of the promotion side together under Hurst?

Where has Fentys never ending search for the management messiah got us over the last 15 years? We’ve had more false dawns and second comings than the Moonies. Quite a few of us thought we’d hit the jackpot with Hollowords - he clearly wasn’t the Messiah, he was in fact a very naughty boy.

Hurst might never be AB or Lawrie Mac but one attribute that he shares with them is that he knows how to build a team who’ll play for the shirt, each other and for him, he won’t sign shysters and journeymen and he’ll bring us stability given the chance.
I’d give my right bollock at the moment for a guaranteed miracle - don’t get me wrong. However failing that I’d settle for a gaffer who doesn’t talk out of his backside and who builds a team. The grass isn’t always greener and sometimes it wears a funny hat and plays darts.


So how would you describe this team he has formed

The GT quote him as saying about the Carlisle game

“The intensity they play at, the energy levels, and we’ve got to try our best to at least match that."

So according to him his players have no intensity or energy levels, not exactly a motivation talk before you get on the bus to Carlisle.

I'm quite critical of Hurst at present, but how you've translated what he actually said, to what you think he means, is quite something.

His appointment this time round has been an absolute failure. Watching the FGR game was very hard going at times as it’s apparent there is a total lack of confidence in the team and no signs of leadership anywhere to be seen. Strikers that are goal shy, a central midfield that can’t win the ball and a lack of skill and/or pace out wide. The fact is that we’ve sunk quicker than an Italian ferry and with a total lack of fight or care

I've said this for ages. No leadership in the boardroom, from the management and on the pitch. Nobody responsible and nobody cares a sh!te.

Surely all managers work under a framework set out by the board?


Exactomundo, that's why all of ours in the last two decades almost always fail.

It's obvious nothing is going to change before the end of the season.

At that point in time, we may have a clearer view to move forward.

Perhaps the takeover will have been completed.

If Paul Hurst was to lose every game until then, would the fan's views change, or will he be a saviour?
