In Hurst I trust

Quoted from GrimRob

We're 8th in the table away and 23rd at home. Schizophrenic. Promotion on the road and relegation at home.

Hurst is going nowhere and rightfully so .

What I would expect the owners to ask is how he plans to improve our home form and try and entertain the paying fans at Blundell park next season .

I know we have a happy love in with the oweners and manger but some questions should be asked .

I’m pretty sure the manger had made his voice heads to them about training facilities and the pitch which they have answered , now it’s his turn to answer the owners and more importantly the fans that haven’t had much to shout about at Blundell park

If Foster was on 30 grand when playing in the prem 5 grand would seem like peanuts to him.

Do you think he just sat in his office during transfer windows twiddling his thumbs?  He said that he had missed a lot of his top targets for varying reasons, like for instance Dallas who said flat out he didn't want to come to Grimsby.  No one knows how this season would have been had he been able to get the players he wanted.

With the exception of Dallas, Hurst never tells us who he is interested in or puts an offer in for. The only ones we know about are the ones he has signed.

All I wanted this season was to not be relegated.  We can still finish with our highest league position for 20 years this season.  Why the hell should we change the manager? He has many faults, but quite a few less than the rogues gallery of other managers we've had the last 20 years. If we want to play in the championship for example, we probably do need a better manager but sacking Hurst and going back to the merry-go-round won't achieve it unless one of us wins the euromillions and bankrolls it

I imagine we need to be finishing in the top 10 for the next 2 seasons and showing more of an ambitious playing budget before the calibre of manager required would be interested in joining Town.  To get the level of manger wanted we are in the same boat as player acquisitions - we can't pay as much as other clubs, crap location, yo-yo non-league basketcase team stigma - we won't attract high calibre managers until we've been solidly in the league for a few years to remove the yo-yo bit so we look stable and then the only feather in our cap will be that we gave Hurst 4/5 seasons before moving on and we can offer the same to the next bloke whereas all the other clubs are still going through 3 bosses a year.  

I don't see how Town are attractive to high calibre managers in the current situation, but give it 3 years of incremental improvements on and off the pitch and we definitely could be, especially once the new training ground etc have been delivered.

We finished 4th 17 years ago. Then Fenty pisssed on Slade’s chips.

After yesterday’s last gasp win I do feel we have all calmed down a bit after Fridays dismal display and probably realise what we have a good management team and even better owners than what we have had for many years, I think that the performance that the players gave us on Friday was so poor in front of a large crowd it deserved an apology from Hurst but he is not that sort of guy. At the start of the season avoiding relegation was the first priority which we have achieved , I hope that our immediate future is secured with the money from the cup run and we can use this to sign players that will take us a stage further next season.

I stand corrected - I was making sweeping generalisations, probably because I've tried to remove Slade from my memory, sorry!

And that's how it should be.
