No i dont want us to waste money , but you have to spend and come out of poundland . Hurst just makes excuses all the time
You should go watch some Under 10's football, it's just about your level.

My concern is that if it comes to a point where Hurst should be sacked (I don't think it is at that point yet) but if it comes to that point what's the chances of them sacking him? Stockwood has repeatedly said Paul is in charge of the football stuff and he's openly admitted to not being a "football man" so he could easily come out and say something like "we know results has been unacceptable but Paul is in charge of the football side of things so we'll leave that to him to sort out."
As I said I don't think we are at that point yet but if we ever did get to that point that would be my concern.
I actually think this is a good point, from what I've seen of the new owners I would imagine that they would have some KPI's and targets in place but whether that is promotion in the first season back, play-offs and see what happens or mid table "stability" if that is what it could be described as who knows? What I can see though is they appear to be patient so those baying for the manager to be binned need to cool their jets as it's not going to happen for a good while yet.

Why are people now starting to question the new owners?
Surely not?
You cannot possibly be criticising JS & AP and their new CEO. They are delivering on absolutely everything that our dam base wanted, and they are unequivocally beyond reproach for their work at the club.
Please stop

I said at the outset that I thought it would take 3 years to get back out. Do I want us to get promoted sooner than that? Of course I do but I'm also realistic.
One automatic space and then 6 play-off places fighting for the other promotion place. Bristol Rovers did it at the first time of asking in 2015 but I seem to recall that they were much better prepared for relegation than us and kept most of their squad together. They also had a huge stroke of luck in that final as the referee didn't want to spoil the game for neutrals.
1878 have decided that the services of Mark Palmer are no longer required, Ian Fleming has left so we have 3 senior executives at the club in Stockwood, Pettit and Cook who are 7 months into their football industry careers. How do they go about recruiting a replacement for Paul Hurst?
6 losses in 7 is bad but chopping and changing managers doesn't usually bring success. I want to see Hurst addressing our weaknesses over the next 6-8 weeks and grinding out a few victories. Chesterfield are top of the league and could be coming here Saturday thinking about a game at Old Trafford, Anfield or The Emirates. It's a tough game to go into in current form but football is a funny old game and I fancy us to get something.

I agree with you, I am a little more calm now. If he could even turn these defeats into draws it would take the heat off him. He will be feeling the heat because of his recent managerial record another job will not come easily and so turning the corner really is critical. The Chesterfield match I think will be very tight but they clearly are a lot more potent than we are and so we will need to take our chances

Had enough of this little never was man. 5 changes a back line that is crap. He has had a year and done nothing apart from a few odd games then free fall dont even come back to clear your desk
What has his size got to do with it? No, seriously, what? Maybe next time you could bring his sexuality into it? Shoe size? People who start with an insult based on immutable characteristics have some issues, for sure.

Read it with your own eyes. It’s started. Already fans are calling JS & AP into question and making them accountable. Already fans are saying the exact opposite to what JS & AP are. The pair are fully behind PH and want him as their manager to build something. But fans are calling for his head. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that already a direct criticism of the decisions of the owners in their football decision making? Come on guys, how often was JF criticised for making the wrong calls in manager appointments and persisting with his choices for so long. That’s essentially what the Hurst Out brigade are doing now to JF & AP Long after your glass screens, community engagement and scotch eggs, it comes down to the football and the football management that is 99% of the satisfaction of fans. If that 99% isn’t good, then fans start to turn. And that has clearly started. Someone told me that JS is very aware of this. When we was flying high at the top of the league he told them that it was “all very positive, but let’s see what happens if it all turns to bat excrement”

Agree with this, I would be amazed if Hurst didn't know what was wrong and the fact that he's already eluded to departures and arrivals (inc 2 in over the last 2 weeks) in January would suggest he's got the view it's personnel related.
