Opinons mate. I think he's got talent, more than enough for the Conference, as shown in his last two appearances for us and earlier on in the season..

I'd only try and keep or sign..

Hewitt
Hendrie
Menayese
Matete
Clifton
Coke
Williams

I'd dispense with Hurst's services too..

Pay who needs paying off. The rest are just not good enough to take us forward..


i don't think you will get your wish re hurst as he's the consortium's choice.

what i will say is that he hasn't got too much leeway. He's had enough time to assess his present charges. He has now got much more time ,far more than any National League boss, to get players in and to get a proper pre season organised
He also has the benefit of the full parachute payment, which should leave us in a better financial position than the vast majority of the division

So what your saying is that Hurst will have a decent shot at promotion the first time and if it doesn't happen then we'll be like the other ex-league clubs.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Yep, we need to hit the ground running, fully prepared, with a squad in place, pre season games aplenty and with a clear starting 11 ready for match day one.

Agree. He will be in charge. Had an open mind when he returned. My assessment is that he's been very disappointing. Didn't like him slagging off the existing squad in December. Cost us any new manager bounce. Didn't address lack of pace up front in the window and took him months to address lack of pace in our back line. Left us with only one option and that was to play anti-football to get us out of trouble. No flexibility at all yet he signed eleven players. Eleven players and only three of them have been any good, Matete, Menayese and Coke.

Hurst will seem the safe option, but I fear safe will never get us back in the EFL..

I'd like to see what Khouri and Jackson can do with some regular game time

Williams desperately needs paying off, along with plenty of others. Gibson might be retained and loaned out only because his 3 year (Christ!) Contract might mean its cheaper to deal with him that way.

Rose has been dreadful and needs paying off.

I am hoping waterfall activates the clause that means if we are relegated he doesn't have to stay but it depends on someone being silly enough to sign him who isn't ian Holloway.

Macca will be way too expensive to pay off I would think as its his testimonial season I believe, so he will be here. He will probably be the best paid goalkeeper in non league so I suspect we may be unable to justify signing another serious keeper for our level as we would then be spending more on goalies wages than most conference teams do on strikers wages! Unless he can get Eastwood cheap on loan maybe?

Jackson isn't rated by Hurst, he's cheap but then he will be cheap to pay off too so that's what I expect to happen. Just maybe conference would have been more his level but definitely a risk, and its our one time shot at it with the parachute payments so probably worth getting rid.

He will obviously retain the shop, hopefully as backup or for when we are leading rather than first choice.

Habergham not good enough for a title tilt for me, but Hurst seems to quite like him, not sure if he will try and resign him.

Coke has played fairly well but we need someone who contributes more going forward in my opinion, but as a squad player yes and he will be cheap so he's quite likely to be retained.

Clifton has done enough to be retained as a squad player I would have thought, his attitude is first rate and his versatility is exceptional as he provides backup in numerous areas.

Hendrie matete manayse will leave, probably Hewitt too.

Scannell will surely be paid off. Also morais obviously.

Underestimate the Conference at your peril. We only finished fourth last time, even with Bogle, Amond, Nsiala, Nolan, Disley and Tait in our side. Khouri will be loaned out to NLN and Jackson will not be retained..

not like you to be factually incorrect, but he was playing Hewitt and Menayese by the beginning of February, so weeks rather than months.
Think you are being a bit unfair on Eastwood and the Shop who have also improved the squad. He was also unlucky with several of his signings getting injured, before we could tell if they were any good.
imho he has improved us as a team - we look fitter, more together as a team, more organised, more defensively solid and a bit more of a threat up front.
One thing i think we can agree on - we will probabaly know the answer to our discussion within the next 6 - 9 months, because as Ginny says, he will definitely need to hit the ground running
