Paul Hurst

Outstanding management once again. He gets his fair share of doubters- some unwarranted critics- but he is incresible at motivating and playing the way we need too in these big games.

Hats off to you Paul

E lad that bloke from Rotherum nors what ees doin.

El General and your team! We salute you!

Well done Hursty

He absolutely deserves a break (again) from the criticism he's been taking lately.

Excellent approach, spot on tactics given the squad available...

Backed up by committed players who gave their everything .

Still in shock.

UTM

I don’t know how Paul does - as sometimes he has baffled me with some of the selections - but the underlying  feeling for me is that he is doing a fantastic job - even from the point of joining us from Boston United. Just keep on doing it Paul please 🤙

Quoted from DB

E lad that bloke from Rotherum nors what ees doin.

Are they lyrics out of an old-school (when they were good) Arctic Monkeys song?

Just a reminder that Paul is…

1. Tactically inept

2. Yoda(!): To me Hurst has no interest some of us never wanted him back. Ipswich fans voted him their worst ever manager and he’s not far off being ours

3. I don’t know who appointed him fenty or the new guys but by fook it was a lazy appointment of a manager on the way down. Perhaps some on here still believe the rebuilding crap if you do think about the substitutions today even those with limited knowledge of footy surely didn’t get that.  I don’t know who should replace him but I do know he should be sacked

4. Hurst is yesterdays man. Too much emphasis on players attitude and keeping harmony in the camp.

5. Not a motivator

6. Midget n’er has n’er was. Short arms, deep pockets. Short arms, deep pockets. Short arms, deep pockets.

7. This is worse than when Fenty was in chage. balderdash to this fancy scotch egg and over priced beer thing.  WE WANT A TEAM . NOT A NEARLY TEAM .

8. I sense now that the majority of the fans are now wanting Hurst gone. Hopefully the Chairmen will see sense soon ready to for a better season 2022-2023. A season without negative clueless Hurst.

9. But if you think that we should stick with a manager that is on course to give us our worst ever position in the football pyramid having had 3 transfer windows and used every excuse under the sun to detract from the fact that he got us relegated, then I'm absolutely shocked. Hurst has been a total failure this time around and doesn't deserve to be given another summer of 10+ signings to see if he can do better than the garbage he's unearthed so far.

10. Hurst came back thinking he was a god,shite on many many people in his time and now managers are knocking on Jason’s door.We need promotion not need relegation.Please Jason and Debbie plz sack manager. When Paul hurst first got the job as manager he did some stirring and a staff member lost their job.Hardworking my behind doigy does the majority. We need to be out of this league and we are still losing games,games we should not be losing.We need a new manager a quick.

11. (Morris’ Minors) Why anybody would want to lay out their hard-earned cash to watch this bunch of misfits is beyond me.
2 wins from 14 games are diabolical.
No manager would survive those results except our Mr Hurst.
Still, as long as we keep us shape the fans will be happy.
We are sailing into the Bermuda Triangle and are in danger of disappearing altogether just like the fans will do when they finally wake up and smell the coffee!
Supported GTFC for over 70 years and this is the worse I can remember. We have never been so low in the pyramid as we will end up this season.
No idea, no plan B, not a clue.
Does Chris Doig know where he and the Chuckle Brother is going next? Oh, he'll be the last to know.
Anyway rant over, but things need to change ASAP, following our next defeat at Wrexham. That will be 2 wins from 15 then.


…you get the drift.

Quoted from BenBB

Are they lyrics out of an old-school (when they were good) Arctic Monkeys song?

Noo lad twere out o my gob connecting to mi grey matter what putem on ere.

About time he was cut some slack. He's given us more memorable days and nights than any manager has for a very long time.

Reading a book by a guy called Simon Sinek called “Start  with Why” there’s loads of stuff in it about leadership which sounds like it’s written about Hurst.

Proper manager who deserves the plaudits once again.

This will be unpopular amongst some but please read the statement in full before you judge it:

I started watching Town in 1996 and I think in my time he might have now surpassed Buckley. Two promotions, five finals, FA Cup third and fifth rounds, some of the best goal scorers we’ve had in the time I’ve been watching them and some matches like tonight that we’ll remember for a long time. He’s done a lot of this under the old regime too.

He’s amongst the contenders for our best manager ever (granted that might be controversial).

Not at all his record is so impressive and the quiet and dignified way he does it is an example that should be admired
PAUL HURST BLACK AND WHITE ARMY

I applaud hursty as a successful manager but he isn't on a par with Sir Alan yet- his promotions have been from NL twice as opposed to league 2 twice and league 2 once. Also the football played under Sir Alan was revelatory. We were playing teams 3 leagues above us and we were playing the better football. Sir Alan made me the football fan I am today.

have to agree with that, although tbf hurst has took us from such low bases, twice over, that he's got be rivalling Sir Lawrie in the top 5?

Did you read the first paragraph?

Has led us to eight knock-out victories out of the last nine ties, has any other GTFC manager got that kind of record? In nearly all of those (save Solihull? and Burton) we've been the outsiders with the bookies. He's become a master tactician at using our limited resources for one-off games.

I suppose I might add that some of the perpetually negative, daft, moaning numptys who appear when things are tough and spout a load of cobblers go quiet at times like this, when the club pulls together and presents itself with honest, humble pride and togetherness. Sure, people are always more quick to complain than they are to praise and thank, but I reckon, on occasions like tonight, there are some who are conspicuous by their absence. It’s weird in the sense that some seem much more satisfied and ‘happy’ when they’re moaning and angry, than by the actual happy times of honest toil and victory and best efforts. You know who you are.

no hes still got some way to go to match sir alan. gets us into the championship and hes nailed it.

The interesting thing about the naysayers when it comes to Hurst is that they often fail to provide an actual reason as to why they don’t think he’s very good…

Hurst is one promotion away from being the best town manager ever. Lord Buckley will always be the Lord, all clubs have a manager like that but Hurst has taken Town from the abyss twice. I know some will point to a relegation but anyone with half a brain knee we were down well before Hurst came back.

People often try and say he’s too pragmatic or sometimes negative but then fail to recognise games like last night or Wrexham, Chesterfield etc. all games where we took it to teams and won, deservedly so.

The club is rising again and whilst we may have to settle for consolidation in the league, a great cup run has been something unseen for many a year and financially puts us in a good position…

He has got 2 promotions from the conference for us and now this excellent cup run.

Another promotion to L1 and he will equal Sir Alan get us into the championship and he will be Sir Paul best manager by far when you factor all the trips to Wembley into the equation.

After all the years under Fenty it's just great having the feel good feeling in the club and the fans.

Not only Paul but we have to thank Jason and Anthony for making it happen.

Now Wrexham are out the cup we might get a bit of coverage on TV and in the press saying what a well run club we are.

Hurst has had to operate in the post Bosman era so literally has had to build a new team every season, sometimes more than once. Buckley brought some great players when he first came but had the luxury of being able to keep them for years or sell them for large sums. He kept signing the same set of players all his career and was never very good at bringing in new ones after that first group.

Buckley was able to pluck the best players from non league because he knew about them. You had to travel to games to watch players. Technology was non existent. Now everybody has access to the same information and low hanging fruit are much harder to find.

Finally the standard. League 2/Division 4 used to be the bottom of the professional game. Now 22 out of 24 teams in the National League are full time and many teams in the levels below too. The standard is vastly higher at our level than it was in the 80s and 90s.

Hurst has built multiple great teams. We have been in so many finals and had a few cup runs. He did brilliantly at Shrewsbury as well. True greatness is to be able to repeat and better your great achievements. Every Beethoven symphony was better than the previous one.

He's "us" best ever manager.

I spoke with my mate last night and he made a very very good point. We've not finished higher than 14th since 2006 season. Factor in the playoffs last year, this season's cup run, the feel good factor with new owners. If Hurst finishes 13th that is absolute progress given where we have been for almost 2 decades.

Let's not forget the new squad hes had to put together this season. Like the owners, improve day by day, slowly week by week. We know football is a results business, but I for one am pleased how the board didn't jump to rasu decisions when we went on that terrible run in NL, and this season without an away win in 3 months.

There's plenty to know about Hurst based on last night and his time with us, when you quantify it the passage you could write is quite long winded.

We've just beaten a really good side in the cup and face a difficult league game on Saturday, where all 3 goal scorers from the previous league game can come in alongside a right back who is a level above what we have, that's building a squad which is what really good managers do.

In Hurst we trust, what's more important is that in Hurst the players trust.

In all seriouness, i fully expected a 4-0 defeat at Luton.
We played superb, and got what we deserved.
I fully expected a 3-0 defeat last night.... instead, they all became hero's and will be remembered for a long time, including PH who deserves all the plaudits he's getting.

Let's not forget this when we lose our next league game.

However, it was still a horrible transfer window  

I think Buckley still edges it for me (at the moment) due to the sheer quality of the football we played back in his first two spells at the club. However, I don't think Buckleyball has been possible in the modern era for lower division clubs. The newer generations of players have been getting bigger than their predecessors, sports science improvements have led them to become faster and fitter and there just isn't the space to play the sort of  expansive Buckley-style football we used to enjoy. The top level players are skilful enough to play the game to an incredible standard, the lower divisions play a hard and fast game where time on the ball is at a premium.

I'm encouraged that Hurst wants his teams to play decent football but we have to be pragmatic as well and realise that long throws and set pieces have a big role to play as Maher showed last night.

After two good 3-0 victories in a week, with greatly-changed teams, let's hope we've got the confidence to repeat it at the weekend and try to push our way up the table.

I know some will point to a relegation but anyone with half a brain knew we were down well before Hurst came back.

I'm convinced if we'd had another 4 matches that season, Scunny would've gone down instead of us.

At half time in that Exeter match we were safe and sunny down.

Pondering who is the best? Tough choice, but a great dilemma to have!

I am sure other clubs will be looking at Hurst now, and I hope that the new owners, and the new funds, will mean that we can keep him. I firmly believe he can get us into League one within the next couple of years.

Absolutely mate - Listening to the post match interview from the Luton chap El General knew exactly what game plan his troops needed to win and so did Luton, they just couldn't stop it! - lots of changes in the Luton team from a previously settled starting 11 meant they'd be disjointed first half but grow into it later on, and they weren't ready for a blistering start from Town who took the game to them when they were vulnerable.  Hursty seems to have an ability to get the players to raise their overall game for knock-out ties and I honestly think our lads just wanted it more.  Which is fair enough if we we're knocking on the door of the prem would we be fully focused on the FA Cup? I doubt it.  The blessings of being mid table lol

In many ways this club reminds me of the likes of Sunderland( brilliant series on  Netflix eg Sunderland till I die)   and Liverpool . Very working class where the club means a lot to the people in the area.  The players pick up on that passion in the crowd which helps raise their game eg on magical nights like yesterday. Pleased for Hurst though that he achieved a great result last night though. Long may in continue. But as in anything in football as in life there's always room for improvement.

They're probably the same people with hurt feelings that he cupped his hands to his ears at Wembley.

With MacAtee and the new signings coming back into the squad for Saturday  Hurst has a huge problem.

Who on earth do you play? Can't drop Orsi surely, and what about LLoyd, Emmanuel and MacAtee? Who would you drop to make way for them?

Tough choices. But what a great problem to have.

I am a massive massive Paul Hurst fan, and I think your post makes for an interesting and healthy debate.

I am full of admiration for Paul, but I wouldn't be able to agree that he has now surpassed Alan Buckley. For me, Bucko stays ahead of Paul at this moment in time, for the dizzy heights that he got us to. And, as much as I enjoy watching Paul's teams too, the brand of passing football that Alan got his teams to produce, week in and week out, at such high levels; means he would have to get my vote at the moment.

But Paul still has time on his side to take us even higher, and then it wouldn't be out of the question that I then put him alongside Sir Alan, or even perhaps slightly above him.

Yep, in my lifetime Alan Buckley remains the undisputed number one for the time being, with Hurst a respectable but distant second. It’s a cliff drop from there; I’m not sure I’d even know where to start.

There are somewhere in excess of 700+ teams who enter the FA Cup. There are now 700+ managers, including some from the prem, green with envy, looking up to those last 16 in the competition.

Paul Hurst is one of the last 16 managers on merit.

I remember Buckley had plenty of doubters even after two promotions and several cup runs .
He was fortunate it was the pre-internet days but I can remember lots of Town fans whinging about his type of ‘ Tippy Tappy Football ‘
Hurst is a Grimsby legend , in 10 or 20 years he’ll he remembered as an even bigger legend

don't remember that bit - got  a link?

He’d have to get us to league one and keep us there to be in the same category as Buckley. But after Buckley he’s the second best manager in my lifetime, albeit there isn’t much to choose from

Whichever way you look at it , I believe we are privileged to have had both Alan Buckley and Paul Hurst as our manager. Buckley’s team played tight pretty football and scored the majority of their goals from inside the penalty areas whilst Hurst’s teams are a bit more adventurous and score goals from anywhere.

Pre/post match interviews with a BBC journalist - not exclusive.

The interviews with returning legends, "day in the life" kind of series and training videos, no issues with these being charged for.

I don't complain about "everything" but I think the departure of our Head of Commercial suggests the club weren't impressed with the department either. I'm so sorry for wanting the club to be the best it can be.

Our ticket system is a joke, hopefully we are on with improving that this summer.

There is a lot of good however, we are finally getting the coaching/support setup that we need to put us on a par with rivals. We are holding on to our young players longer and we are having some overdue cup success.

The ground has had some investment, but it definitely needs more and hopefully that continues year on year. The owners do talk sense and you no longer have your heart in your mouth when you know one of them is speaking in public or writing in The Guardian.

On the 4th of May 2021 the club was in sh!t street. 1 day later a rebuilding program started, putting right all that was missing in the previous 17+ years plus trying to improve it.

Fast forward we are in a higher league, back into the EFL and the last 16 of the FA Cup.

Rome wasn't built in a day and nothing is perfect but the need to moan about anything at this time is a bit silly. We're on the up both on the field and off it.

Quoted from BIron

A real dour, boring bloke. Should never have managed us, him giving it the fist pump when we beat you at your place was the closest I saw to any passion.

Clearly a match made in heaven for you lot though, credit where it’s due he’s done a cracking job, especially your FA Cup run this season (the worst set of fixtures you could have asked for though haha)  I would have liked to have seen how he would have got on managing us under a different owner though. We all knew He who must not be named was the real problem.

With Paul Hurst there is ambition and determination but no real ego on show, some people mistake that for a lack of passion, don’t be fooled by that. Just because a manager doesn’t leap around on the touch line or give stupid sound bite interviews doesn’t mean he’s dour.

Players trust Paul Hurst and appear to like playing for him that’s all that matters in reality.

Found it interesting that our “tinpot team” in our “tinpot league”  is one of the main threads on your fan page still.

Actually appreciated the amount of posts wishing that we don’t go bust so felt obliged to post from our side of things. We have had one hell of a fall from  grace but you clearly have a short memory, pretty sure you spent a long time down here yourselves?

He's a well-recognised clown mate, pay him no heed

We did and had plenty of your fans on here rubbing it in.

So don't be surprised that a few have had a go back now the boot is on the other foot. I remember saying that what goes around comes around and your turn in the cesspit league would come.

I didn't and don't want you to go bust, but I hope you go down another league yet and spend a few years of misery trying to get back. Lose a few play off semi's and a final or two for good measure.

Your welcome.
