We need some quality signings in January then who knows where we will end up.

BUT

If they are the usual cheap options then we can forget going up this season.

We need to spend some money.


Every team will be strengthening their squad Pete so we could be in the same position. On current form we are relegation fodder and if Hurst doesn't alter his tactics we could be playing Ragarse Rovers in the not too distant future

Hell of a commute for Limbrick. Petrol has gone up so no chance he’s driving up here!


So his feet are nailed to the floor then??


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

You’re a fan.

The manager is asking players to buy into the club, create a new culture etc. yet he can’t be bothered to move nearer. It cuts both ways.


Cheap shot that, if he puts the hours in which he clearly does what does it matter where he lives. Do some research a lot of managers are not based in the location where they manage, many more lower league players definitely aren’t.

I don’t think it is.

He’s been given a great opportunity by the owners together with a lot of reassurance, he could have shown a reciprocal level of commitment.

Quoted from davmariner
Who exactly would you get to replace him? Honestly, what were people expecting this season?

Big ask for any manager to get all the players he wants and for all the signings to work out from one summer window. It was always going to be a a rebuild that took more than a year. Look at Chesterfield and County.

Yes, it’s a poor run of form but when McAtee is back and with the window around the corner, things could easily tip back the other way. Bringing in a new manager who would inevitably make a load of wholesale changes for me isn’t the answer.

Patience has never been a strength of GTFC fans or any football fan to be honest, but important to consider the bigger picture.


If his record of 12 wins in 100 games is correct, there can't be that many managers even those out of work with a worse record.

Why not? He’s gone on record expecting players to buy into the ethos/culture yet he’s been manager here 7 or 8 years on and off and never shown any personal commitment himself.

Not once have players/ owners asked players to move to the area

Paul Commutes in everyday, and then travels all over watching games. I think your being harsh. He has his faults but this isnt one we can level at him

I'm sorry but this is absolute balderdash, criticise Hurst for the run we're on, selections, tactics etc. but where he chooses to live has got sold all to do with it. I have no idea about his personal situation, maybe he has kids who are settled in school or any other number of reasons he prefers not to move house. As long as he turns up every day and does his job he could live anywhere he chooses.

I think denni266 mentioned that Hurst’s kids are GCSE / A-level age.

I’ve been trying to find the right house for 3 years and, like our forward line, the lack of decent supply at the moment doesn’t make it easy.
