About 16 months ago Grimsby finished 6th in the National League.
They went on to beat Nott County away from home, and they then went on to beat Wrexham 4-5 - in probably the best playoff game in history - before beating Solihull in the final to gain promotion to League Two.
With a ridiculously short pre-season (about 4 weeks, I think) he built a team to take on League Two.
When the FA Cup came around they were drawn against the highest team possible (Plymouth) and beat them 5-1.
In the second round, they beat Cambridge (in a higher league) 2-1 away from home.
In the third round, they beat Burton (in a higher league) 1-0 at home.
In the fourth round, they were drawn away to Luton (in the playoff places to the Premier League) and drew 2-2. At home, they destroyed them 3-0.
In the fifth round, they beat Southampton (from the Premier League) 2-1
In the quarter-finals, they were drawn against Brighton (who were sitting in 7th place in the Premier League and were beaten 5-0. Brighton team was valued at about £370 million. Grimsby about £2 million.
They are the only team to ever get that far in the FA Cup playing all teams from a higher league.
They then finished 11th in League Two, their highest position for about 20 years.
The person who made all the right decisions in all these games was Paul Hurst.
Yet, now, he is not good enough according to some people. Totally bonkers.

There’s about two or three on here. There’s a few regulars on Facebook but if you look at their profiles there’s usually a photo of them in a prem shirt. Say no more.

That's probably the two or three red crosses I have got so far. |

It’s not that he isn’t good enough. He and his team need to be less pragmatic, less negative and give the fans something to get behind. The last three halves of football have been awful. |

Hurst could lose every game from now until Christmas and he still wouldn’t be gone.
This board are more interested in B Corp , left wing , guardian reader bullshit than building a winning squad.
Rod Jane and Freddie are clueless

I'm interested to hear how you think signing Danny Rose, for example, demonstrates that the board is only interested in "guardian reader bullshit", you absolute wally |
