Quoted from DB
Most have criticised Hurst in the January transfer window but the quote from the Exeter manager Matt Taylor puts a light on the situation.

"In terms of the market it will look a lot different. We tried so hard to strengthen this team in January in attacking areas, we knew what a big miss Nicky Law would be, so we tried our hardest to strengthen this team in January, but like every other manager the players just weren't out there."



I'm not saying Taylor and Hurst were after the same targets but it does sum up what the problem may have been for Hurst.

Not easy, but both Bradford and Barrow managed to bring in new faces and turn their season around in the January window,

It all comes down to how much we were willing to spend, and we know his that goes under Fenty.

Quite apart from the failings on the pitch is the incredibly inept failure to move to a new stadium. 17 years to organise a relocation? Unbelievable.

Mind you, we did get a new portacabin on the training ground to be fair. So the last 17 years have not been entirely without some progress. Who knows, in another 17 years we might have seen a new portaloo.

Surprised we haven't heard from the non chairman, sat snooker table-side


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Don't forged the humps have gone and there's less rust on the floodlights  



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Yes, and at least one new bulb in the floodlights too.

Quoted from Teestogreen
Agree - I think Town will romp the National League next season. PH is the best manager (if backed by the board), which I think he will be - to get us the ‘team’ required.
Just got the next 4 matches to endure and the pain will be over.
UTM


In 4 years with PH in charge we never "romped" the National League.

😆

There’s less floodlights on the floodlights.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I’m not sure just the odd player Barrow brought in was the difference, sacking Jolley helped.

The fact we’re back to mocking the absolute cretin that has been ruining our club for 20 years disguised as a fan/owner suggests we’ve had the inquest.

In lay mans terms we just weren’t good enough. Many a reason for that. We pay the ultimate price, sadly one wins 2.5m from it...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
