Quoted from RonMariner
We need a 20 goal a season striker. We also need a couple of strong midfielders who can chip in with the odd goal or too.


Both of these are very difficult to find but certainly a Groves, Disley or Bolland would make a huge difference in terms of character and crucial goals from midfield.

Quoted from pizzzza
In true Fishy style (whether tounge in cheek or not) we have 4 replies and 5 ex-players suggested. Why not just go the whole hog and get Disley, Pearson, Arnold, Nolan, etc., etc. back?


Anyone suggesting these should also make a comment about 'the band being back together', as though they're the first person to do so.

One thing I did like about Hursts recruitment last time around is that he targeted several players who had been promoted from the conference previously.

These types of signings had effectively become conditioned to winning games rather than our now usual type of signings who are conditioned to losing games.

How about Michael Cheek? 18 goals goals this season for Bromley, always scored goals in the national League with 93 in 226 national League games.

He also signed Summerfield and that other dud from York who had Ben relegated. It showed.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

I’ll leave it to Paul Hurst, he’s more equipped than any of us .

I think there will be a lot more players looking for clubs next year. Clubs finances over the last 12 months will have been severely dented , leading to reduced budgets

I've defended PH quite a lot and think he did a very good job the first time round. However, I don't agree with this idea that he'll be good in the non-league transfer market a second time around simply because he was before. He was in that world as one of the up and coming managers back when we appointed him. There's no way his finger will be on the pulse as much as it was back then, with regards to non-league players. He's not going to bring a Macca and a Pearson in with him from an old club to form a 5+ season long solid base with and I highly doubt that he's going to strike gold by signing a Disley as one of his first CMs and a Hearn as one of his first strikers.

I have seen Hurst taking in Chesterfield games in the National League so his knowledge will be there. I take the point about a Disley or Pearson following him for 5 years of stability but I bet Coke stays on for at least 12 months.

We need stability and not another roll of the dice. Hurst is a safe pair of hands and I hope that when he leaves this club, we build on his solid foundations.
