Hurst Out

Quoted from Simon

Tell you what though those sausage buns are bloody amazing, I walked home this evening very happy in the knowledge that at least the food has improved my match day experience

If fact I was in such a food coma I didn't realise we had lost again until I put Hullberside on in the car on the way home

The trouble is, food doesn’t win leagues and if this is all the chairman change has improved  then god help us.
Glad you enjoyed it though.

What utter rubbish. Seriously. We will not get a better manager than PH at this level. Culture is the most important thing for long term success; at least he and the new owners understand that. Want to take some risks on some bad eggs? Go ahead. But then go and sit on the toilet … and wait for the outcome.

You sure about that. At present it seems like a good 9-10 clubs in this league have a better manager than Paul Hurst based on his current performance.

Quoted from GollyGTFC

Not a very good list when all 3 of those clubs have appointed a new manager in the last 14 months after sacking someone. And Stockport’s manager came in this season.

How is that steady building? They are all examples of a new manager bringing instant improvement after replacing a perceived failure.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but it still takes time for most clubs to stabilise after a drop down to non league. I said that I am ambivalent to whether PH stays or goes and if it takes a new manager, then so be it, but our track record of trying that has failed many more times than it has succeeded.

Who's to say the new board are any better at picking one than the old board were?

To my mind, IH had left such a poor squad, that last season was a write off and PH started fresh this season, so to expect us to be flying just yet after 20 odd games is unrealistic. Fans expect us just to turn up and beat teams like Bromley because we have more fans than them, but they are a very effective side in this league who know what they are about, and it didn't happen overnight for them.

Past experience has taught me to be wary.

Can you not read? It’s not my job to name anyone, I won’t be choosing them. It’s also not my job to keep an eye on all the possible candidates, I haven’t got the time frankly to closely follow more than one football club. If your argument is that if I personally can’t name someone then there couldn’t possibly be anyone better than a manager with Hurst’s recent record and his career in free fall then we’re royally fcuked aren’t we?

But off the top of my head I would imagine Luke Garrard and Pete Wild of Boreham Wood and Halifax respectively would love a crack at the league with the supporter base and budget that we’ve got. Both have punched above the size of the clubs they are managing at the level we find ourselves at, something Hurst has never done.

I'm sorry but to me that's a cop out. You feel it is ok to say  who you don't want but not your job to say who you do. I don't think the present owners will sack Hurst this season. IMO they will give him another transfer window in the summer and then see what progress is made in the first half of next season. If things don't look good by next November and the gates suffer, then and only then will they consider a change of manager.

Was actually extracting the urine, would rather have a soggy pukka pie and three points every week if you get where i'm going

Next november there will be no fans left at this rate we’ve lost 2000 on 2 months.

You say It didn’t happen overnight, but Bromley's manager was appointed 3 months after Hurst returned to GTFC.

Andy Woodman managed the final 13 leagues games last season & won 8, drew 4 and lost just 1. That’s 28 points or 2.15 PPG. They snatched the final play-off place on the last day of the season.

The previous 13 league games prior to his appointment by Bromley had seen them win 5, draw 4 and lose 5. That’s 19 points & 1.46 PPG.

In fact in the 29 league games before Andy Woodman was appointed Bronley won 11, drew 8 & lost 10.

So he took over a team that had lost 10 out of 29 & then lost just 1 of his 13 matches. A remarkable improvement.

And this season he’s on 13-5-5 from 23 league matches. That’s an incredible 21-9-6 from 36 league matches. A 58.3% in percentage and exactly 2 PPG.

You can see why Gillingham want him.

Wow Curtis Woodhouse 😂 biggest shithouse going spineless little muppet! I'd rather have IH back!

Don't talk like a spanner!...

Disgusted  The Mighty Bromley do the double with ease over the wimpy mariners . Hurst must have been told he will never be sacked , Our new owners have a lot to learn i am afraid . He  witterd and moaned about not having this and that and when he has it he is still a failure , He needs throwing out the door and fast. If  this is what this window has got us  god help us . We are a shambles end of  

let’s forget Whealdstone have the opportunity to take 6 points from us next weekend.
