Quoted from Heswall Mariner
I am with PH & the Board - slowly slowly catchee monkey - which I believe they will eventually. Patience is a virtue methinks.
I think we are on the brink of a very good team at this level.


Agreed, fine margins. Too much drama at the moment for me. The league is full of money and not easy. My gamble is that we will be top 10 by the end of October and results will turn. PH is competent at this level and we will be Ok

These comments about Hurst blowing a million. How did we get that million again? How many people objectively think our squad is weaker this year? We haven't wasted squat. The team aren't quite gelling yet, but they will get there.

Then we have the comments about blowing leads. How did we get get those leads? Hurst gets trashed for blowing the lead but no support for gaining it. Would people rather 0 - 0?

Obviously there is room to improve and we need to keep hold of those leads, but if anyone can get a team to improve their defending, it's Hurst.

No one expected town to get promoted from the conference, so last year was free. We got a respectable mid table finish in that free season against the odds. Survival would have been fine. Now we're entitled to doing better than 2 seasons we over-performed?

The logic is always, go up, get safe, consolidate, and then build on from that. I think if Hurst fast tracked on on the get safe, he deserves another shot at the build on from it. He's shown he knows how to get teams promoted, and he's also demonstrated he can keep a team in League 1. I don't think I'd prefer anyone else at the helm who I'd be confident would keep building year on year.

I'll keep reiterating this point. Luton took 4 years to get out of League 2. Do we expect to do it faster than Luton town?

We got this supposed 1m budget ( which I suspect is wildly exaggerated) by PH getting us to the 1/4 finals last season. I think he deserves a bit longer than the beginning of October to get things going.

Hurst has a record of getting Grimsby promoted through the playoffs from non league. I am not a Hurst out person but dont blow to much smoke up his proverbial. Why do we keep comparing ourselves to other teams-Luton took 4 yrs, Brizzle went straight up again, it has no corrolation to us, we are not those 2 teams.

Didn't someone work out that the FA Cup run worked out as about a £1million windfall.   Then Stockwood said Hurst would get a boost for his budget on the back of it.  Then we signed a couple of players for undisclosed fees (Conteh, Mullarkey, Vernam).

2+2 = £1million wasted.

The Teal lady? Do we employ ladies based on their shade of green? Is it only shades of green? Have we uncovered a colour bias in recruiting essential non playing staff?

(is teal a shade of green or blue?)


To be honest I can never tell those Teal lot apart.  They all look the same.  

If I look at the colour of their tea cosy and the technique they use for pouring I can usually just about get by though.

Oh-Oh-Oh, what's Luton got to do, got to do with it?
Why Luton, just because they got promotion?
What's Luton got to do, got to do with it?
What is the point of that, when our team is broken?

Luckily we have sensible owners in charge and PH is not even close to being sacked.

Just the usual over-entitled bedwetters on here having a meltdown.

How did we get that million?

FA Cup games, bigger crowds, replays, prize money, FA Cup quarter final.

Have you been in a coma these past 12 months?

Who was the boss of that FA Cup run? I thought I didn't have to spell out that question...
