Deluded Wrexham Fans

Hurst is at a key juncture in his management career. He left here on an upward trajectory but since leaving Shrewsbury, it's been a slippery slope down that ended in a relegation out of the EFL on his CV.

As much as we know the contributing factors to that, relegation to non-league was under his management and not he who managed before him.

It's going very well right now but if he was to leave this season and fail elsewhere, I think that would pretty much be curtains. He's got it nice here, he's been able to bin off any players he doesn't want, nobody else is naming the team or signing players he doesn't want.

I would imagine he's done alright financially from his time at Ipswich and Scunthorpe.

I believe he would only leave us if the chance came to manage his hometown club Rotherham

I know some Rotherham fans who tell me he is still highly thought of my many fans there

I suspect PH wouldn’t have put a squad together in the way Wrexham have. It all looks a bit like non league Dream Team whereas we have put together a team with very decent deputies in all positions.

No way would PH have come back here to work under JSF.
He saw the vision of our new owners & saw the potential.
I believe he will stay to see the project through.

I don’t think there’s any immediate danger of PH being lured away at the moment, other than Rotherham coming in for him at some point, but hopefully by then he’s got us out of this league.

Wasn’t the rumour that he got 750k payout or something from Ipswich? I’d have to go back and find the article!

At no point in the history of the Football League could Rotherham be described as a bigger club than Grimsby Town, until they opened the New York Stadium that is. The same could be said of Doncaster and the Keepmoat. Wrexham are potentially a bigger club, the town is smaller than Gy and Clee but the whole of North Wales is their catchment area and they would draw support from it if doing well - a bit like Norwich - smaller place than Hull but the whole of Norfolk is their catcment area.

Completely agree. And I did say Rotherham are probably a bigger club than we are now. Divisional status, recent history, new ground.

I can't see Rotherham coming in for Hurst anytime soon if at all, Hurst is back managing in the national League again, (hopefully only one season as we get promoted), the only time he was in the championship he managed 1 win in 15 games, and he didn't do all that great at Scunthorpe, I do appreciate that Ipswich do seem to be an impossible club to manage and Scunthorpe is well Scunthorpe, but I do think that has reduced Hurst's stock quite dramatically, which Is good news for us!

Wrexham could do with a high profile manager next to really take them places. I here ian holloway is available

I do wonder what Hurst's career plans are now.  He still very much needs to rebuild his reputation with EFL clubs after unsuccessful stints at Ipswich and Scunny, and of course a relegation on his CV.  We've provided him with the ideal platform to do that and it's currently going very well.  

So which club could he move to when the time comes?  When he left for Shrewsbury, it was regarded as a bit of a sideways move at the time, but he saw a setup that could give him what he needed to succeed.  Something that we definitely could not.  And I think that's what motivates him the most: having the ideal environment where has the resources and, crucially, autonomy to build teams that he enjoys being a part of.

We're currently the best and possibly only place that can offer that right now.  I think he will regret walking into the Ipswich and Scunny jobs where he didn't have full control of his personnel and will be wary of similar structures at other clubs.

He will of course leave when someone else offers him an environment that is better than ours.  I don't think that club will be Wrexham or anyone else in this league right now.  Also, we aren't small fry in this league or the one above; we can offer competitive contracts to people whom our management value.

Money talks.

If they offered to double his salary do you think he would stay?

I'm as certain as I can be that he would stay if JS&AP matched (or bettered) the offer.

And I suspect that's what would happen. Jason & Andrew are no mugs.

So yes, money talks...and it can also talk back!
