Just cannot see Stockwood et al being ruthless enough to give Hurst the chop. We won’t be relegated this season and I believe for the owners that will be enough. Hurst will only leave if he can find alternative employment, but surely the chances of that are zilch. So as much as I hate to admit it I fear we are stuck with him for the foreseeable future.
Have a day off. Stockwood and Pettit didn’t become multi-millionaires by tolerating failure within their businesses. If/when they conclude Hurst isn’t good enough he’ll be gone.
I’m massively in the Hurst out camp but I accept it’s not going to happen. The owners won’t do it, it remains to be seen if that attitude works long term but I’d say the early signs are that Hurst knowing he’s guaranteed a job is part of the problem.
Hursts record in the past 3 years is utterly garbage and I still think he had a better shot at keeping us up last year than people will ever admit. He failed then, he’s failing now and let’s really face it, he copulated it up for years before getting it right in this league last time.
He’s not the manager some on here think he is and he’s been truly found out now IMO

copulated up for years? No. Disagree. He was working under Severe restrictions and got us consistently top 5.
I’m gutted it hasnt worked for him, give me a Paul Hurst type over Bullshit Holloway/Bignot/Jolley anyday.
But 2 wins in 14, being mocked by Bromley and Halifax is just too much to stomach

The league back then was much easier than the one we’re presented with now. We so often got to January with a very real chance of winning the league and Hurst messed it up every year, multiple failed play off campaigns (play-offs being a bare minimum) and it’s an unspoken truth how bad we were in the back end of the season we went up.
It’s alright everyone saying Hurst out , but who realistically will people want to come in? Bearing in mind by time anyone was appointed the EFL window will be closed so he has to work with a squad that’s not his ?
I am not a happy clapping Hurst fan and it’s clear to see we are struggling but who we replacing him ? Interested to hear the names ...

Unfortunately we were always going to have to consolidate this year, we changed our whole team...
Chesterfield are throwing money at it, same with Wrexham, and any money we make goes to our ex Chairman. It'll take a few years for whoever is in charge...
