The club needed a clean start when Holloway and Fenty left. There would’ve no doubt been players easily influenced by things outside of the club and others that could steer clear of that environment. Darts matches, baby reveal parties etc we were a joke of a club to any form of outsider. Is it any wonder that we’ve had to rebuild the reputation up? It was probably akin to the scunny downfall.

And, for all those that belong to the ‘hurst out’ club. Just be careful what you wish for. The grass on our side of the fence is alright.

He was a young player just starting out in the game. Don't know what people were expecting from him.

Of course he was lightweight and not the finished article as he was barely out of his teenage years and had no experience.

He's gone away and developed his game.

I think you’re right, and having spoken to folk I know involved in the game, we were seen as a joke. Ironically, under Hurst first time, it was him that brought players here, the club still had a excrement rep but they wanted and liked playing for Hurst.

That reputation takes a while to build back up and we’re still doing that.

The so called Hurst out babies are only ever loud when we lose, likely the same people that if they won a million quid they’d moan and say they should’ve won a million and one.

They often struggle to provide any credible reason as to why they want him gone. They’re just stil precious about the ear cupping and because he doesn’t make substitutions when they would…
